We (me and my partner) really enjoyed staying at this Hotel. We used it as A base for other activities, and travelled around the area by car.
In november we parked in the street, walking distance to the beach and to Isola Bella.
We had breakfast only one day, and that had what we wanted: coffee, eggs, bacon and fruit. Tasty and good.
We enjoyed the breakfast outside instead of in the breakfast-/ dining-room. More enjoyable.
We had a small room in the 5th floor, but we managed:-) Close to an outside area and beautiful view.
A lot of places are closed, but some restaurants and shops are open. I guess it’s a lot more crowded during season, but we enjoyed the less busy times of the year.
We used the car for getting around but it’s close to the cable car, busses and the railroad.
We went to Castelmola, nice town in the hills. Went to Savoca, Bar Vitelli, And charming in many ways.
Etna is like 1 hour drive from the hotel.
It’s beautiful sunsets and sunrises, paddle boats for hiring, boat trips, snorkeling and much more. Nice staff, clean room.
