Pros:

La struttura è molto pulita e molto bella. Le maioliche sui pavimenti sono incantevoli. Lo staff è davvero molto disponibile ed accogliente.

Cons:

Non mi è piaciuto sicuramente il limite delle navette per scendere alla spiaggia. La colazione salata da migliorare.

Nice place with helpful staff
Pros:

The staff was exceptional - special mention to Anna at the reception who coordinated really well for our luggage to be picked up fm the ferry dock while we went for our tour to Stromboli and cowthr? At the dinner/ breakfast place - she was competent and pleasant. Place is really picturesque with beautiful balconies/ terraces. Pity we couldn’t use the pool and hot tub

Cons:

The air conditioning wasn’t working - so that was a bit of a bummer. The access to the hotel has a narrow lane so if driving yourself, you have to be careful at the turns.

Emplacement idéal (proche du centre mais calme).
Beau jardin et piscine.
Personnel très aimable et disponible.

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner était moyen (choix et qualité des produits).
L'air conditionné est un peu bruyant, même en mode aération - il ne peut être complètement arrêté - mais à un niveau supportable

Pros:

una bellissimo hotel, la stanza che avevamo era con un terrazzino , il personale molto gentile ed accogliente, il servizio navetta gratuito dal porto (comunque si arriva comodamente anche a piedi) , il letto comodo

Cons:

purtroppo la colazione e' decisamente da migliorare, il pane una specie di panino non buono, le uova strapazzate un "mattone" , il succo "industriale" , non credo che ci vuole tanto x offrire le spremute in una regione come la Sicilia

Confortable, bien situé, chambre spacieuse
Pros:

L’emplacement, la gentillesse du personnel, la chambre spacieuse, la douche, la terrasse, la piscine et le service à la piscine

Cons:

Prévoir 2 tables et des chaises sur la terrasse pour 2 chambres de luxe serait top sinon c’est premier arrivé premier servi ☺️
