We stayed there with another couple our friends for four fabulous nights and we all enjoyed every minute’s of it. The property, location, service, facilities and food is outstanding. Staff are supper friendly and helpful, especially one of the staff who we really appreciated during our stay with friends at the property is Miss Denise Perna with her exceptional service…Denise thank u for making our stay joyful. Also the manager on duty the day we checked in was very helpful and courteous. Breakfast was Devine we lots of variety and a great service. All restaurants were great. Hotel location is fantastic close and walkable to attractions, restaurants and a wonderful shopping area. 10 minutes drive from the beach but u can easily take a taxi to one of the beach clubs since the hotel doesn’t have its own beach club so u have to actually pay to go to the one hotel recommended which was nice but pricey. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back again soon.

Wonderful breakfast and amazing bar. The staff was warm with great attention to detail nothing you could complain about except that the hotel did not have a Spa and pool area was small . Also the hotel does not have its own beach area which is a con considering it is a five star hotel in the best town in Sicily
