bel hôtel mais préférable en haute saison
Pros:

séjour entre Noël et nouvel an tres calme. hotel tres propre quoique un peu vieillot. un gros bémol sur le petit déjeuner. autre point négatif : piscine inutilisable alors que lors de la réservation cela n'a pas été indiqué. malgré le soleil aucun endroit pour se reposer a l'extérieur.

Cons:

piscine non accessible (fermée!)
petit dej moyen

Ich würde wiederkommen.
Pros:

Das italienische Frühstück war gut und man konnte nachbestellen. Morgens habe ich das Abendessen und Zeitpunkt abgestimmt. Abendessen hat immer geschmeckt. Das Personal war immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Parkplatz auf dem Hof.

Cons:

Keine Nachteile zu berichten.

Pros:

Čistota, zařízení pokoje, poloha u plaze, parkovani. Snídaně mohla být lepší, na 4*hotel to bylo slabé, jen toustový chleba, žádné čerstvé pečivo, žádné ovoce. Jinak hotel moc pěkný.

Brand new rooms and decor made this feel like a fancy hotel for a very approachable price.
Pros:

Directly on the beach, this is a beautifully renovated property with seabreezes and views of Mount Etna on Sicily. Breakfast buffet was full and delicious.

Gepflegtes Hotel in einer Top-Lage
Pros:

Das Hotel scheint aus den golden 80ern zu stammen…aus dieser Zeit kenne ich die Braun-goldenen Schalterserien. Vom Flur bis zum Zimmer macht das Hotel einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck. Die geschliffenen Wände sind zwar nicht mein Geschmack, dafür aber zeitlos schön…alles sehr gepflegt.
Das Frühstück war gut, das Personal sehr bemüht. Der Blick vom Balkon und auch aus dem Frühstücksraum super!

Cons:

Uns ist nichts negatives aufgefallen.

Pros:

Freundlicher Empfang und saubere Zimmer. Die Motorräder durften wir in den Innenhof stellen.

Cons:

Leider kein eigenes Restaurant im Haus. Das empfohlene Ristorante Al Faro gehört dem gleichen Besitzer wie das Hotel, ist aber nicht 450m entfernt, wie in Booking steht, sondern 1 km und lohnt sich nicht. Unfreundliche, demotivierte Bedienung und schlechtes Essen in einem ungemütlichen Speisesaal mit verspiegelten Fenstern. Sehr schade!
