Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a fantastic view of the sea, coast, and some of the Lipari islands, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The staff were very friendly, which was a nice touch. However, the location was not ideal as it was a long walk from the local town with no beach, just rocks with heavy waves. Despite this, the hotel is situated on the sea with beautiful views, which was superb.
The hotel is in a superb location right next to the sea, offering beautiful views and a true Sicilian experience. The rooms are clean and neatly decorated, but some may find them small and old. The staff may not be very helpful, lacking basic greetings and sometimes leaving the TV blaring without asking. The dining experience is basic, while the facilities are mixed, with a pool and friendly owners but lacking in some areas.
I absolutely loved the hotel's location with a fantastic view of the sea, coast, and some of the Lipari islands. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The dining experience had its ups and downs. The hotel offers great value for money, especially considering the superb location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms were beautifully decorated and incredibly clean with a stunning sea view, but the lack of a phone was inconvenient. The service fell short as the staff didn't pay attention to our preferences and charged extra for shuttle rides in an old vehicle. However, the location was superb, offering a true Sicilian feel with breathtaking views, even though it was a bit far from town. The dining options ranged from poor to excellent, but the Mediterranean dishes were a highlight. The facilities were decent but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel is a mixed bag; the rooms, despite being extremely hot and having old furniture with a broken fridge full of mold, are surprisingly clean, neat, and nicely decorated with a balcony. The service, though not very welcoming or accommodating, was helpful. The location, while not perfect due to its distance from the town and lack of a beach, offers a genuine Sicilian experience. The dining experience is basic, and the facilities vary in quality.
