Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a tranquil area offering excellent photo opportunities, very close to the shore and adjacent to a national park. The rooms provide a balcony to sit outside with a breathtaking view, creating a relaxing atmosphere. However, the dining experience with typical Sicilian products was a bit underwhelming. The service, although attentive, had minor room for improvement. The facilities were adequate, meeting basic needs, but lacked some modern amenities. On the positive side, the proximity to nature is a major highlight, and the room balcony adds a touch of luxury.
