Young couple here from UK/France! We stayed here for 4 nights and overall had such a lovely experience! If you’re looking for a classic Sicilian hotel with ‘White Lotus’ vibes but at an affordable price, this is your place!! The location is perfect but I’d 100% recommend having a car. It’s a very quiet area with I think only around 10 rooms, so definitely better for couples/quiet groups. Our overall highlight of this hotel was how accommodating and friendly the staff were. They were so kind and always at our disposal and making sure we were always happy.
The hotel itself was so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I would say maybe the rooms (at least for ours) could have been a little more modern to match the rest or the hotel vibe, but it was still great and suitable for us. If i’m being super picky, I would have loved a full length mirror and maybe some better lighting as the room got quiet dark during the day due to the hidden location. Also note that if you stay in one of the separate apartment rooms with the garden view, consider having an SUV car as the road is very steep to get to the room - also these specific rooms are definitely not disability accessible.
We had breakfast everyday and dinner on one of the nights. The breakfast was great but there definitely could have had a little more variety; but lots of fruit options and traditional Italian bits, I understand it’s a small hotel so they had what was suitable for the size! The dinner was good too, food was tasty but it was the view/ambiance that made it worth going.
The swimming pool was 10/10, so so perfect and always really quiet! The views for this hotel are just incredible and definitely make the experience so much more special.
The location is also really great too, as it’s not too far from Catania, and it has lots of popular areas such as Mt. Etna, Naxos and Taormina on it’s doorstep.
Overall, we would absolutely recommend this hotel to our friends/anyone visiting Sicily!
