LA TARTARUGA ^{* * * *}

La posizione è incantevole.per il resto tanto da migliorare

Ottimo albergo in cui stiamo soggiornando. Location bellissima, piscina spettacolare, gentilezza e professionalità del personale. Prezzo molto onesto 120€ al giorno in piena stagione durante il weekend per una camera matrimoniale (ampia, bagno con vasca, terrazzino attrezzato anche di stendibiancheria e sedie) prima colazione internazionale , uso piscina e spiaggia privata davanti all'albergo, con ombrelloni e 2 sdraio.
Consigliatissimo.

We arrived late in the evening, checked in and had dinner. The Restaurant is great, staff there were nice.

The rooms were old (think “fashionable in the summer of ‘65”) but clean and with a working air conditioning. The beds were comfortable. You can hear the next door neighbours, but fortunately they were not too loud. The shower doors required some tough love to close, shampoo was available in stingily low volumes, given to you in plastic satchels.

Waking up and going to the breakfast was a whole experience. You walk down a staircase, descending into thick indoor cigarette smoke (again, probably once fashionable in the summer of ‘65). The lacklustre breakfast buffet spanned some sloppy bacon, half-empty water bottles with plastic cups that remind of urine sampling. The waiter makes you feel that any request (“1 espresso”) is one too many. Upon returning to my table with some fruit that was left over, I was greeted by a little worm who had gotten to my apricot before me. I stuck to bread.

Breakfast is from 8-10, which they tell you. What they don’t is that they stop re-filling food from 9:15 onwards. Instead, they will start blasting music in the adjacent pool area.

The hotel will prove an okay place to stay for one night if needed. People looking for a Sicilian holiday stay should look elsewhere, though.

Sehr nettes Familiengeführtes Hotel direkt am Strand und mit Pool. Sehr gute Küche. Nahe zum Hafen und auch nicht so weit in die Stadt. Sehr zu empfehlen.
