Top 5 Resort in Metropolitan city of Catania

Via dei Tigli, 3, 95122 Aci catena CT, Italy

“I think first things first about this hotel. This is a complex i think of around 3 or 4 buildings. The main building being on the picture which hosts reception and the dining area as well as i think a few rooms. There are other buildings but believe me when I say this. They are no more than 100/200m away from the main building. It is all very close together so when you read another review in here what they are saying is absolutely not true and in fact really unfair on the hotel. All locations are less than a minute walk to the pool. There are 2 pools. One near the main building and another lower down to the left hand side. Both are accessible and absolutely delightful to be around. They both get sun all day and the beds and service at the pool are great. Right now that's out of the way, I genuinely don't know if I can say anything other than how exceptional this hotel is. We stayed for 10 days and it was an absolute dream. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. As soon as you walk through reception and out into the dining area you see the pool which is gorgeous. The hotel itself is really clean and smells amazing. The breakfast is lovely consisting of hot, cold and continental foods. The pistachio crema and wildflower honey and mini donuts were exceptionally good. The lunch menu is great, fresh salads, sandwiches and pastas. drinks menu is varied and the cocktails are great. The dining menu is superb, real fine dining experience. Lovely food and atmosphere. Our room was just by the pool in the main building and it was cleaned every day and was extremely comfortable. The wifi is super fast. What sets this hotel apart was the staff, they absolutely could not do enough for us. My partner is pregnant in her first trimester and was suffering with intense morning sickness. One night she just wanted some plain pasta with sauce as this is all she could manage. Not a problem. We had an issue with a curtain, they came and sorted it within the hour. I just cannot fault them in any way. Really really enjoyed our stay here and the staff just made it so much better so thank you. One last thing if you are staying here, get up early and go up to the roof top terrace to watch the sunrise. Glorious. Now, people have said that the hotel is out of the way and it is a little, but it really depends what you want from a holiday. If all you want to do is relax, read books, eat nice food and wind down then this hotel is perfect it has everything you need. But if you want to explore and see more of Sicily then i would recommend hiring a car. But watch out, Italian drivers are crazy. Overall this hotel was exceptional and I genuinely wouldn't let one or 2 bad reviews put you off because they have significantly over-exaggerated. Some suggestions for the hotel: The rooftop terrace is significantly underused. I would get a small bar there as the view is amazing especially in the evening. And in the morning, i would offer activities out. Maybe some sunrise yoga or meditation. Thanks for looking after us, we really enjoyed it.”

“It does not feel like a 5 star hotel, because it is quite dated. But the location is beautiful, the pool is great and we also enjoyed the spa - which was included in our rate; 35€ for it is too much in my opinion. The breakfast could have been better - the scrambled eggs are just placed on a big plate and get cold really fast. And they don’t cook anything fresh for you. Overall it was good value for money.”

“The hotel has a beautiful spa with wet and dry steam, massages, a large indoor bath with jets to massage sore muscles and a large outdoor pool. Rooms are luxurious but somewhat strange. We had a large and very luxurious room but the …”

contrada san mauro di sotto sn, 95041 Caltagirone CT, Italy

“The staff is amazing and super friendly. But the management and owner are not very good with the clients. We came here for one day expecting the SPA and other activities. SPA was closed for restorations, and there was no mention of this on the website when we booked. The food was served cold. I am sure the owner will reply with excuses.. but we left earlier as we were getting really frustrated as not many things were clear.”
