Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I can highly recommend this hotel. I came without a reservation on a Friday night at around 9 pm. The director Mr Enrico Caruso took immediate care of it and within minutes I had a very nice room. I only stayed one night. The hospitality was amazing, I had a nice breakfast and a great cappuccino. The rooms are very spacious and the hotel is very tidy. I would like to thank Mr Caruso for his warm-hearted Sicilian way of communication.”
“Great location, rooms are spacious and clean. Enrico was so welcoming and friendly, helped with recommendations for the area and arranging a taxi for us in the morning.”
“Enrico, the owner is just fantastic! Had great communication to confirm our booking and helped us secure a parking spot in front of the hotel. A quick and beautiful walk to the nearest lido was easy to enjoy the beach into the sun set. The room was spacious, clean and there was a large patio. Breakfast was very good with fresh fruit, pastries & even fresh scrambled eggs. Our only regret is we could not stay longer than one night. Foreigner friendly and highly recommend!”
“Slept really well, hotel has all you need for a night's stay. Staff are lovely, hotel was quiet. Very comfortable beds and air conditioning.”
“Very clean and neat. The director is attentive and helpful, and clearly cares a lot about his guests. Unfortunately, I could only stay for one night but if I ever come back to the southern coast of Sicily, I’ll definitely visit again!”
