Absolute gem of a hotel

This was both mine and my friends first time in Sicily so we had no idea what to expect. But what a delightful surprise this hotel was. The staff were all incredibly friendly, super helpful and always went out of their way to make you feel comfortable. We had drinks nearly every night at the beautiful terrace bar which has an amazing view over the ocean and on our last night, we had dinner there as well which was fantastic! There was live music and the food was incredible! The room was lovely. We had two single beds in a room that over looked the bar next door and the ocean so we were very lucky. Being that close to the bar next door was a concern but the noise wasnt bad at all, we slept well every night! Plenty of space in our room, bathroom was nice and plenty of wardrobe space. My only suggestion would be to have some chairs out on the balcony so people can soak in that view!! Would definitely recommend this hotel and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you!

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.
