Pros:

Everything was great—clean, nice, and especially memorable because of the beautiful sea view we had.

Cons:

The only downside was a leaking shower head with very weak water flow. However, it was still sufficient for a quick shower.

La struttura e il personale molto accogliente….. alla reception e al bar davvero persone gentilissimi e disponibili…. Abbiamo avuto pulizia giornaliera e la camera era per davvero. Come da foto vista mare e anche un posto molto tranquillo

Lovely hotel on the seaside
Pros:

The hotel was amazing value for money. The rooms seemed to be recently renovated and were well decorated. Our balcony overlooked the ocean and in the evening it was absolutely amazing to sit outside and enjoy the view. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were kind. Location wise it is close to Castro and Grotta Zinsulusa which were both gorgeous.

Cons:

It was a bit of a mission to walk to/from Castro old town (uphill 12 minutes) and Castro Marina (down the road then a ton of stairs 20 minutes) and back, however it was doable even in 35 degree humidity.
