"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. "

"A fantastic accommodation: You wilkhave your own parking spot in front of your unit, which a great plus. Great staff, breakfast, and location. Thank you "

"Peppe is a very nice host, very responsive and attentive to all our needs.He gave us all the advices about the surrounding areas, restaurants, lidos, swimming, parking, etc. and was very easy to communicate with.We had access to two kitchens and they were very nicely equipped with everything needed to prepare meals in the house. We had very nice breakfast in the garden with the view of mountain Etna and enjoyed outdoors shower.Swimming in the area is possible from the the wooden platforms built among black volcanic rocks, all of them including private ones are open to public by the local law to get to the water. There are also public platforms for sunbathing and a small public beach in town with black volcanic sand. We enjoyed a trip to Taormina and a boat tour in the bay. Very nice and relaxing place!"

"For the price, it's 5-star. Very clean, no frills. AC works! There's soap and towels. Wonderful view from the common area balcony on the 2nd floor (no views from room)! They have limited parking space inside the compound, which was extremely helpful! The owners were sweet and helpful. We had a bit of communication issue at first, which was easily solved once face-to-face with google translate through phone. The only challenge was we didnt get much check-in details prior to arriving. So once there, we called the number (this is where we had some communication challenge, our fault we didn't speak Italian), but then once we could figure it out, everything was smooth. I strongly suggest letting them know what time you will be arriving because they could easily had not been there when we arrived (they left 5 mins after we arrived, so we were grateful to be able to get the keys before that!). In general in Italy, it is always a good idea to let the host know of arrival time, is a valuable lesson we learnt. "

"Michaelangelo helped us every step of the way and even went out of his way to help us check in. He was amazing, thank you! The place is extremely clean, beautiful rooms, the beds are very comfortable, and the location is perfect for those who want to be near the downtown area. I highly recommend this stay and do yourself a favor and try the strawberry gelato at Bar Cipriani--you haven't tried a strawberry until you have tried this. Absolutely wonderful stay!!! "

"This a wonderful boutique property walking distance from town and quiet neighborhoods. The people are extraordinary nice, accommodating and helpful. The restaurant is also excellent. My only issue is it's on the highway and the highway noise is noticeable. "

"The property is very beautiful and the views of the sea from the slope of the Etna are spectacular. Very quiet, comfortable accommodations, very nice swimming pool. The location is excellent, a short drive to the sea and also close to Taormina and Catania, which was very convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much. I would love to go back for a longer stay."

"This hotel was exactly what I needed. Lovely and comfortable inside, beautiful park across the street, private parking which I badly wanted, and such a friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast too."
