Desperate need of renovation & check pool opening!
Posted 26 Oct 2018 on HotelsOn arrival we saw the pool was closed. We asked reception what the opening times were - the lady looked shocked. She stated that the pool closed the day prior. Her exact words were “do you swim in your country in October”....well if it was 23 degrees in the UK
I would! She said it may be opened in a few days if weathers better
The next day when we returned from a trip the receptionist was in a puffa jacket and winter hat - told me still too cold to open the pool (20 degrees that day).
When we looked in the pool it had been drained - so clearly no intention of opening
Was put on second floor, which is 4 flights of steps. No elevator and no assistance offered with luggage (travelling alone with a small child)
Hotel is nowhere near anything. Extremely steep walk back to the hotel from the harbour where there are a few restaurants and a pharmacy. 15 minute drive to a shopping mall which has a supermarket
Room in terrible condition. Plaster from the ceiling fell on to us whilst sleeping. My son cut his foot on broken tiles on the balcony
No food or drink available to buy at the hotel
Reception and breakfast area is a strange set up - lots of random faux leather sofas scattered around
We only stayed 2 of the 7 nights booked
View was lovely though. Can imagine the hotel would amazing if it was renovated

Old Fashioned Comfort
Posted 25 Aug 2015 on HotelsOld fashioned comfort, in a family hotel. Stayed in a seaview room, and the view was fantastic. The hotel is in a reasonable condition, don't expect luxury. Breakfast was plentiful, and the restaurant is open to residents at weekends.
About 10 mins walk from the main area, quite steep walk, with little footpaths near the hotel, but well lit.
I wouldn't recommend any room not seaview, as the rear view isn't all that. The pool area is fine, with plenty of shade. There is parking for 8 or so cars, and room on the road outside for more.

Pros: fantastic views of sea and countryside as hotel is high up ,also quiet
Cons: the bar could be opened in the evening if you fancy a drink or a coffee and a snack
Location: visit Aci Trezza ,Catania by bus
Enjoyed the area and hotel,the views from the the hotel are panoramic you can see Aci Trezza an the isles of Cyclops below ,plenty of places to eat in Aci-Trezza an nice walks along the sea front, the down side was you have to walk up hill to get to the hotel

Incredible ocean view

Pros: 50's Italian Riviera atmosphere. An easy and safe walk to town at any hour, and a large selection of restaurants.
Cons: Perhaps an elevator to the second floor? Although is was fun carrying our suitcases up the marble staircase.
Location: The hotel is on a hill overlooking the town, fishing port and fabulous rock formations rising out of the sea. It's an easy and safe walk down the hill
It's not for everybody but if you'd like to experience La Dolce Vita '50's style, and would appreciate a huge room with a balcony, in a what was once a grand hotel, this place is for you! The hotel has seen better days, but our room and
bathroom (with a tub) were immaculate. Luxurious, freshly pressed linen towels are delivered daily. Comfortable beds. Very quiet rooms.The pool is set in a lovely garden. The warm and friendly staff works hard to please guests ,although most do not speak English. Free parking in front.
