Location is perfect, grand old villa Ironing service is at 10+ Euro per peace! Dirty rooms, showers have not been cleaned for years, have lime scale all over, very unpleasant. Bed linen is clean but has black spots. The room was sold with balcony, instead we had one step Juliet balcony, or in other words balconette! The hotel staff explain that Italian definition of balcony is different to English. We found overall description of what we were buying is totally misleading. Poor breakfast, same food every day for the 5 days! Crazy prices at the restaurant, small portions comparing to good quality upmarket restaurants in Syracuse. At this hotel alcohol and fruit juices are diluted with water! Very weird all over and we could not understand how this kind of place can be 4* rated. Very bad hotel!

The hotel is very grand but slightly run down. It has lots of character and has a lovely breakfast room and pool. The breakfast was also very good. Lunch at the pool was also very good. The internet connection in our room worked very well. It was also easy to park our car. The hotel is quite a long way from the old town and it means that you either have to drive or get a taxi. The rooms are good but the balcony is rather small so you cannot sit out. Some of the furnishings were a little old. They should really get rid of the old carpet on the stairs.

Price versus quality is okay. Potentially beautiful old palazzo, but not kept very well. Everything a bit worn down, run on a too low a budget and this shows (worn carpets, dirty stairs, green line around water in pool, worn cushions on pool beds, wifi only functioning in lobby, very simple breakfast) More 3 stars than 4. Also not recommended without your own car, located too far from centre.

Straordinaria collocazione topografica , vicino al centro , al mare, ai porticcioli. Facile accesso, parcheggio comodo, grande decoro degli ambienti, ampio e suggestivo parco , camere curate, gentilezza e capacita' di risolvere I problemi da parte degli addetti alla reception. Piscina molto ben fruibile e attrezzata. Snack a bordo vasca di buona qualita'/prezzo. Complessivamente grande decoro a prezzo conveniente. Piu' che reclami segnalo alcune "sbavature". 1^ colazione inadeguata alla qualita' dell'albergo, sarebbero graditi prodotti artigianali locali (frutta fresca , marmellate, formaggi, pomodori, spremute di frutta, dolci e biscotti siciliani). Completamente assente il bacon. Frigo bar poco fornito. Cassaforte in camera facilmente rimovibile dalla struttura portante. Valorizzerei di piu' le aree esterne. All'arrivo manca un servizio di accoglienza per I bagagli (parcheggio distante e al piano inferiore)

Colazione abbondante e di qualità. Personale gentile, cordiale e disponibile (non fidatevi troppo però delle indicazioni sulla scelta dei ristoranti!) Hotel non più da 4 stelle, camere doppie piccole, struttura fatiscente con scarsa manutenzione dei locali e degli arredamenti. Piscina sporca e ridicola per dimensioni. Discesa a mare privata, fuori dall'hotel con prenotazione e a pagamento di (soli) 6 posti riservati all'hotel (cosa che non è segnalata). Pochi I posti delle sdraio rispetto al numero degli ospiti anche in piscina.

La professionalità e la gentilezza dello staff. Unico neo: la struttura è bellissima ma la manutenzione ordinaria non è al massimo (sopratutto il giardino).

Calda, confortevole atmosfera. Hotel di charme, rilassante, confortevole. Gli addetti alla reception fanno del loro meglio per assistere i Clienti (specialmente Attilia!). Camere in ordine, abbastanza bene equipaggiate (incluse prese elettriche per PC/cellulari/... al posto giusto); l'aria condizionata, ben regolabile, è in fuzione permanente, perciò all'ingresso in camera si gode subito del sollievo dalla calura .Bella piscina, molto godibile in un'ampia stagione, gratis, con servizio asciugamani e bar.Colazione non eccezionale, ma abbastanza buona, con discreto assortimento. La posizione sulla latomia è semplicemente emozionante.Posizione buona, perciò chi non dispone di auto potrebbe fare fatica a raggiungere il centro. Qualche piccolo problema di manutenzione, ma non tale da guastare il piacere del soggiorno; es.: soffione doccia vecchio e incrostato di calcare; alcune porte e finestre non si muovono perfettamente; l'intonaco esterno un po' rovinato; gli ascensori interni andrebbero rimessi in sesto un po' meglio. Ci auguriamo tutti vivamente che si voglia procedere a qualche lavoretto di messa in sesto.

Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage in der Nähe der Küste und befindet sich auf einem wildromantischen Gelände mit antiken Steinbrüchen und Blick auf das Meer. Die Einrichtung ist jahrhundertwendemäßig mit einem riesigen, gwölbeartigen Speisesaal.Die Zimmer sind modern ausgestattet. Das Frühstücksbüfett reichlich. Wir waren im Winter da, und der Speiseraum war etwas kalt.

Struttura di livello superiore situata in ottima posizione sia per la visita della città che dei siti di interesse turistico-culturale. Buona disponibilità del personale ed in particolare della Sig.ra Attilia Romano, addetta alla reception, che grazie alla sua cordialità, ha reso il soggiorno ancora più gradevole. Da effettuare alcune piccole manutenzioni che riguardano in particolare le strutture esterne dell'albergo.

La parte esterna è bella, ricca di piante e con una piscina. L'interno del palazzo era sicuramente di lusso tempi addietro. La struttura è decadente. La colazione pessima, solo cornetti vuoti e poi qualche cereale e marmellata non freschi. Un albergo a 4 stelle dovrebbe avere anche qualche cibo fresco.
