Hotels near Capuchin Monastery

"I really wanted to give this hotel 5 star, but I simply can’t! The majority of the hotel is perfection and it was an absolute luxury having three days there… the pool itself is a wonder with the view to mount Etna, and so is the restaurant next door to the pool which overlooks the water. One issue was the rooms. We were give a nice room but the electricity didn’t work. An electrician came and after 20 mins of waiting, it was back on. But then it broke again the next day and we were once again waiting for an electrician to come for c.30 mins. This delayed our evening plans. They decided to move us to another room - but it was smaller! They the moved us again to one of their newly refurbished rooms which although really lovely, the air-con didn’t work. I gave up trying by that point as we had to leave anyway. The inside of the hotel is quite dated and when we arrived we really weren’t sure what we were in for, but the pool is the attraction and rightly so. Another reason why I can’t give 5 star is because of the shuttle buses. Although its great that the hotel provides free shuttle buses to and from the town, they are not frequent and book up really quickly. If you miss out, you need to pay for a taxi to the town which is around 20 euro one way. More shuttles are needed. "

"Was an authentic Bed & Breakfast. The adult family were very friendly and welcoming. Gave great food suggestions to local restaurants for dinner. Very cute and clean rooms with separate bath/shower/toilet facilities. There best homemade breakfast sweets. Would love to stay there again!"

"Location, funicular was excellent."

"Would not hesitate to stay here again. Not directly on the beach, but only a very short walk. I received a lovely warm welcome, and the room was just lovely. It had a very nicely furnished balcony, and a slight view of the ocean. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. I had a small refrigerator, and a room safe. There was also a dryer and the basic bath soaps etc provided. The bed was comfortable, the only thing being that it seems that they use a plastic bed cover to protect their mattresses under their sheets, and that felt a bit uncomfortable, but really glad they use one! The linens were very nice....nice thick bath towels. I did not partake in the breakfasts during my stay, but I did see the buffet, and it looked like they provided a very nice continental breakfast. Everyone there was so friendly and nice. No question or request was left unaddressed. A perfect stay!"

"This hotel is excellent! I will recommend ed 100%. The Service is super, I will stay there again."

"Nice place, fantastic location. Incredible view. Really firm mattress overall really good!"

"Such a good little find. Secluded and a beautiful setting. Not in town so car needed. About 25 mins from Taormina and Naxos, stunning beach nearby. Room clean, plenty of hot water. Pool area lovely. Basic breakfast included. Would definatly return. "

"Really good location. I liked the style of the B&B, nice shower. We particularly liked the top floor seating area available to use and look out over the beach and town. The breakfast was lovely, buffet style and great coffee made to order, and special mention to the polenta cake. Host went out of her way to be helpful and friendly. Comms were great. Would recommend the b&b and the town generally."

"We were offered a free upgrade and the room was very good although the bathroom did require an upgrade. Not many facilities within the Hotel it needed a bar, the only bar was a beach bar opposite the hotel which was ok unless it wasn’t booked for private hire or closed due to bad weather (there was a bad storm when we were there).
