Staff outstanding, big thanks to the Management team and Giovanni Greco and all the wonderful staff,we really enjoyed our stay as we do every year. Cannot speak more highly of this hotel.
The hotel itself was great. Brand new with nice pool and walking distance to the beach. The service was great and the personel was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was also great. However, the neighborhood wasn't great. Lots of trash on the street even the seashore. In general, i dont recommend Catania in Sicily. We liked Syracuse muxh more. Better maintained and more activities.
Beautiful hotel, very modern, very clean. Comfy beds, beautiful pool. Breakfast very nice selection of hot and cold food. Staff and service exceptional. Price reasonable. Only downside is expensive drinks from poolside bar.
We stayed for 4 nights. Hotel located in a perfect location close walk to many restaurants în Aci Trezza Very quiet. Nice pool. Great food and drinks by the pool bar area. Room was quiet and clean. Missing hair conditioner and body lotion in the bathroom which I found a bit strange. Maybe we could’ve asked for it at front desk as suggested by the room cleaning staff. Parking underneath which was great no need to worry or stress about finding a parking spot. We enjoyed it and definitely recommend the hotel.
Door was very hard to open. Jacuzzi did not work. There was a bar but it was not open. And the site said they had airport transfer but they did not. But the city was great
Séjour parfait, belle chambre avec balcon sur la piscine, personnel professionnel et sympathique. La chambre était très propre, la literie de très bonne qualité également, et le petit déjeuner buffet copieux. Garage sécurisé (avec supplément) et emplacement proche des restaurants et du port. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation.
Nous avons passe un agréable séjour dans cet hôtel, chambre moderne avec belle décoration.
La piscine est très agréable.
Le petit déjeuner complet avec du choix.
La localisation est idéale, à pied pour aller sur le bord de rivage et en voiture pur visiter les alentours Taormine, l’Etna, et Catane.
Personnel à l écoute et pro actif.
Chambre spacieuse, lits grands et confortables. Salle de bain avec grande docuhe et grande baignoire. Tout est dans un état neuf. Très bon buffet de petit déjeuner et le personnel est très gentil et attentif. Nous recommandons vivement.
