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

"Hotel room was nice and clean. Plenty of space. The pool was closed the whole time but we were able to lay out on the tanning chairs. The access to the “beach” was closed off due to not being ready for guests. We did not use the weight room but did visit it. Not much there but enough to get a small workout in while on vacation. There isn’t much near the hotel. We had to uber to Catania and Taormina for things to do."

"1. Mismatch between marketing and operations Photos are usually taken under ideal conditions (fully stocked buffet, low occupancy, premium setup). In reality: Lower food turnover. More basic presentation. Limited staff during peak hours. 2. Breakfast: the main pain point What you describe is typical: Low protein options → mostly carbs (bread, pastries, cereals). Limited or no hot items. Slow replenishment. This is driven by the Ibis model: Breakfast included but cost-optimized. In Italy, breakfast culture is lighter (espresso + pastry), which further lowers the baseline compared to international expectations. 3. Service Lean staffing → slower response times. In cities like Catania, service tends to be less structured than in major hubs like Milan or Rome. Focus is more on functionality than guest experience. 4. Location vs expectation This specific property: Is located in Acireale, not central Catania. Operates more as a transit/business hotel rather than a leisure-focused experience."

"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."

"Mario is a delightful and oh-so-helpful host for his beautiful space. He goes out of his way to help, and it makes the life of a traveler so much easier. The space itself is lovely, with the 3rd floor (kitchen and deck and sitting area) being the stand-out. We personally loved the bells chiming (6 a.m. - 10 p.m.). We were a group of 4, two single women and a couple, and the space gave us all both our privacy and our communal space. I cannot give a big enough shout-out to Mario---thank you SO MUCH!!"

"Best hotel i ever stayed at. It was hard to find but once found, you dont need car anymore as everything is nearby. Room was big and spacious. The key weighed a ton. "

"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."
