"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. "

"Nice view of the ocean. Breakfast options were very limited. "

"We had a wonderful time at Daniela's place! There were three of us so plenty of room and very comfortable. We spent nearly every waking moment out on the beautiful terrace enjoying coffee and breakfast or evening wine and snacks. The place was very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped and ready for preparing light meals. It was also very conveniently located with a cafe in the same building on the first floor and so many wonderful restaurants to choose from within a block or two of the apartment. It's also centrally located along the east coast of Sicily making it easy and convenient to drive to Taormina, Etna area and Catania (all within less than an hour drive from the apartment). Daniela and her son were very gracious and responsive to all of our inquiries. I highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Daniela and Guido!!"

"Very clean and well-maintained apartment in a fantastic location. The town is peaceful, charming, and perfect for a relaxing stay.A special thank you to the host – she was absolutely wonderful, extremely helpful, and went above and beyond to assist us with everything. Highly recommended!"

"Giuseppe and Jano are fantastic host, two friendly, and very lovely persons! The apartmant is beautiful and cozy, more than on the pictures! Well equipped kitchen, you have everything you need for making breakfast, or dinner. The bed is so comfortable with a view that you don't want to use the shader! Two huge and lovely terrace with stunning view! We had amazing days there, and definitely we we'll come back!! You can find a nice place to stay, but hosts like Giovanni and Jano are rare fortune!"

"Room was large and clean. The shower was roomy with plenty of hot water. Gorgeous views of the water from the balcony. "

"Was happy about the sea view room we selected. Loved watching the sunrise in the morning. Comfortable room and helpful staff. Breakfast was good, although it would have been better if they opened up before 7:30. "

"Amazing staff and a pleasant stay! "

"The apartment has everything that you need. It's clean and has a wonderful view of the water from the large balcony. It was great having breakfast on the balcony. The parking and the building are safe and secure. Restaurants are a few steps away and groceries are nearby. "
