"The Hotel is infront of the steps which connect with scala dei turchi. Very nice rooms,the room clean sand Big, and nice colazione ."

"The room was very spacious and clean, and so was the bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was simple but tasty. The owner was very helpful with suggestions for things to do a places to eat. Easy parking on site. Walking distance from the Scala dei Turchi beach and sightseeing"

"We love, love, loved our stay here! The setting is absolutely dreamy - the grounds are immaculate, the food is excellent and, of course, their wine is divine. We stayed in the wonderfully spacious Olive suite which has 2 floors and would be perfect for a family of 4. It has its very own large patio with an unexpected sea view. My husband and I chose this beautiful property as our base to visit the Valley of the Temples and Scala dei Turchi - the location was perfect. We loved spending our afternoon by the stunning pool after a day of exploring. My only regret is that we only booked 2 nights. Will definitely be back."

"When we drove up to the property, we were excited to see the beautiful setting . . . but in all seriousness, every single thing went downhill from there. If this is as far as you read, we want you to take a hard pass on staying here. The check in man, George, was incredibly unwelcoming. He didn’t tell us anything about our room, the property or the area. No one offered to help us with our baggage despite a long walk from the parking area and set of stairs we had to navigate (no elevator). We quickly learned that the hotel was essentially shut down for the season yet they still accepted reservations. With the exception of breakfast, every service was unavailable. No one was there to give us basic information about local sites. Our room was dirty with dust bunnies everywhere & we had no hot water for showers. Our $14 Euro gin and tonics came without limes because according to the young man onsite, limes were no longer in season. The pool genie remained in the pool the whole time we were there, and the pool towels wrapped in plastic as though it was too much effort to unwrap the laundered stack. Again, just say NO! The most upsetting part of the whole experience was our checkout. We were in a rush to get to the Catania Airport, and were held hostage and harassed by the only person onsite, a woman named India, when we disagreed with the total of our bill. India had zero ability to accommodate us, and called the owner, a British woman named Alex, several times, delaying our departure. Alex was incredibly rude, and nowhere to be found in person during our 48 hour stay. We would not be surprised if this place is closed by next summer but if it isn’t, just say NO! It’s a hell hole with a terrific view and horrific prices. By the way, this is the first time we’ve ever felt compelled to review a place after 106 years of combined travel. It was just such a demoralizing experience."

"We were very comfortable , located at 70 metres from the sea downstairs , great view from the terrace , excellent breakfast service and guest attention . Great restaurant attached."

"The experience of this weekend with a couple of friends who wanted to give us the living was very nice, and the owner, Mrs. Luisa, and so also her beautiful family, new, clean and well furnished the structure. The two bedrooms (Gardenia and Ortensia) are almost mini-apartments, enjoy an unreal silence (which is broken only from the birds' side), are surrounded by green and have a terrace with a magnificent view. In these days of good time, the first breakfast (variate and abundant) was possible. To be recommended absolutely , not only because it is suitable for rest, but also because the strategic position makes it a starting point for so many interesting trips."
