Hotels near Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul

"Bitterly disappointed with this hotel. On reading the website when booking it advertises sea, relaxation and comfort. However on arrival we were informed the pool, sea swimming and the dive centre were closed all of which open on 1st June as listed under the “services subsection” of the website. At the spa centre again the same story with the sauna, jacuzzi, Turkish bath and steam room all closed. On asking why “just because they are”. Presumably again open on 1st June. The hotel itself is a little tired being a conference / venue hotel that sprawls along the cliff edge. It is not in the centre or near Catania (7kms away) with a poor and sporadic bus service into the actual town. Taxis are available and Ubers can bring you back. The staff are generally very friendly and accommodating. Really there is very little to do outside of the “open / high season” here and we would not recommend this hotel for visiting Catania as the website is misleading in what you actually get. We met other groups and they felt the same with everything being closed. "

"Very nice BAnd B in the heart of a beautiful town"

"Hotel is a bit difficult to find with GPS. Rooms and hotel were very clean. Breakfast was very nice as was dinner. The cleaning staff were talking in the hotel corridor outside of the room at 8am, when we were trying to sleep. The hotel is located on the main street, and the room was located right above the street, which was very noisy with people revving up motorcycles until 12 midnight, which again made for difficult sleeping. The hotel staff was very helpful in assisting us with unloading our luggage from our car and taking it up to the room and also when we left. "

"The hotel was a perfect place to stay in Acireale. This was our second time at this hotel and it was just as good as we remembered. Deborah and Rita were both incredibly helpful and made our visit even that much more enjoyable."

"The suite was exceptional, and extremely clean. The breakfast is the best we have had in two weeks of touring Sicily. The people who run it are very accommodating. Can't say enough good things about it. We even stayed an extra night."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. The facilities were excellent - beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, just like the photos. Plenty of sunbeds to relax in. Easy access to swim in the sea from the hotel, with lifeguards on duty. Delicious food at all the restaurants. There isn't much to do in the immediate surrounding area - we walked into the nearest town one evening but we decided that the bars and restaurants on offer at the hotel were much nicer. This was perfect for us as we had intended our short trip to be a relaxing one based in the hotel, but for anyone hoping to explore Sicily a bit more I'd recommend renting a car, as taxis can be expensive.
