Karolynn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Läckert hotell, ett stenkast från havet. Bodde högst upp i ett rum som blev mycket varmt då ac:n inte fungerade som dem skulle Sista natten bodde jag längre ner och det var helt annorlunda. Mycket skönare temperatur. Mycket trevlig personal överallt. Bra frukost på terrassen.

daniele, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a de luxe room on the 4th floor and the view to the sea was great,the bathroom has a whirlpool bath and a rain shower, the bed was a kingsize bed. We had breakfast included with deliciious cakes and pastries, egg, salad, ham, scrambled eggs, fruits, .... The staff at reception were very nice and helpful. Above the street there is a plateau with sunbeds and parasols from which you can step into the sea, for guests this costs 15 euros per day, 1 towel per person included. We stayed for 6 nights and really enjoyed the stay. We asked for a transfer from and to the airport, everything went well. A bus stop to Catania is about 5 minutes away.
