Ristorante eccellente.
Camere un po' datate ma confortevoli, spaziose e ben pulite.
Personale gentilissimo cordiale e disponibile.
Per il secondo anno consecutivo abbiamo alloggiato qui e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. Torneremo sicuramente anche l'anno prossimo.
Le pulizie non vengono effettuate sempre al mattino ma è capitato nel primo pomeriggio quando si può essere in camera a riposare.
Piscina non adatta a tutti.
Colazione discreta.
Non è assolutamente un hotel 4 stelle
Consigliatissimo.
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.
