Really Dissappinting
Understaffed and lots of petty things spoilt a really beautiful hotel. Charges for pool towels and water in the room. Refusing an extra coffee at breakfast and some unfriendly staff members (some Lovely too). Wonderful pool area short work to the beautiful town. My friend had paid in advance and the hotel tried to take an extra deposit before arrival then again tried to take full payment on check out. Such a shame as so many good points to the hotel and would be very easy to make it feel more luxury and not be spoilt by petty things and irritated staff. Aware English people are generally annoying to the rest of Europe and maybe this was an issue which I can understand

The most expensive and the worst (by far) hotel we stayed in Sicily. Arrived late after a long day on the road. Got probably one of their worst rooms, in an almost empty hotel, in a dark corner with a claustrophobic feel. Woke up super congested, it turns out the bathroom has a strong mold smell. There is no step to the shower cabin, and all the water leaking on the floor did it’s damage over time. We were moved to an equal size room with a properly designed shower cabin, without the mold problem and with more open views. While an almost empty hotel in off-season would put their guests in the worst rooms defies logic, especially given their VIP, free upgrades protocols. Breakfast was also the worst we experienced in Sicily, stale Costc-llike muffins. In all the other places we stayed in Sicily there was a cornucopia of delicious crostadas, eggs etc. The freshly squeezed orange juice was nice but we had that everywhere. Had to work for part of the day and chose a hotel with presumably a good internet connection. The problem is that it requires to reconnect your devices each time after they went dormant which can cause problems with uploads and downloads.

LOVED IT!
Everyone was SOOO nice! breakfast is GREAt staff are amazing restaurant for dinner was world class views and pool outstanding just loved this stay. They lent me a phone charger and let me check in early, they are just so nice. The bottled water in the fridge isnt free tho and I didnt realize so just be aware :) I did go buy a fluffy pillow as they are all flat and hard and I get migraines so am ridiculously picky, not their fault but if anyone else suffers as I do, bring something to soften the head.

Great stay!
The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. The beds were a bit hard; but, otherwise the rooms were comfortable and clean. We quickly discovered Catania was not the trip for us (too big, too much traffic, too many people). The staff was quick to advise a wonderful drive to Mt. Etna. It was a fabulous experience overall!

This is a lovely small hotel in an interesting area. Clean and well organised. The staff are friendly and helpful without being pushy. It has a lovely pool area and a good restaurant. Acireale is about 15 minutes slow stroll away, uphill there and downhill back to the hotel. The town is authentically Sicilian and most of the holidaymakers there are Italian. We had a lovely week there in August.

We stayed 14 days and took day trips by car from Acireale. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful recommending places and restaurants to visit. It was a slight uphill walk into the center of Acireale but after two weeks of evaluating, we would stay there again rather than in the center. Acireale is a great place to visit. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful.
