Rooms were very comfortable, bed extra comfortable and roomy. Limited space for closet, bathroom counter, room tables and chairs. Spa and pool very high end. Restaurant onsite delicious. Staff is impeccable, very accommodating and friendly! Far from the Catania village so don't expect to walk.
We chose this hotel to avoid getting into the hectic traffic in the old town and then took a text downtown. It is a beautiful old building and the atmosphere was good with an honesty bar in the nice social area. The room was also large and nice. There was parking possibilities on the hotel grounds and that worked well for us. The breakfast was nice with a combination of à la carte and buffé and could be enjoyed on the terrace or indoors.
This is a rare find in Catania; a really beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean with a great and well synchronised team. From the moment you arrive till you leave, you feel a strong sense of being cared for. The housekeeping is second to none and the breakfast, excellent. The parking may be an issue. I suggest that if you strictly require parking that you clarify with the hotel as presently it is highly limited. Luckily in our case, the hotel did all possible to provide us with parking spaces. The location is not in the heart of Catania but only a 15 minute drive away.
As for the standard of the hotel in southern Italy, we assess it as really high. It has comfortable rooms, a really decent but not great location, but for most, great service, really pleasant people at the reception and also in the restaurant. Especially Miss Isabella during breakfast was the nicest one.
A wonderful experience, unfortunately only three days, in a charming building, recently renovated with attention to detail both inside and out. The double room was spotless, spacious and equipped with every comfort. My partner really appreciated the décor and the large terrace. The staff were professional, friendly, helpful and welcoming, in the best Sicilian tradition. We didn't try the cuisine, but the breakfast was of the highest quality with delicious products and dishes (the pancakes and omelettes were superb!). Special mention goes to the hotel's SPA (salus per aquam), which we highly recommend trying. It is an oasis of relaxation where you can recharge your batteries in a sophisticated environment with a wide variety of different spaces (swimming pool, hay bio sauna, salt room, massages, etc.). We will definitely be back for every stay in Catania. PS: the hotel is pet-friendly.
