Nice little Gem!
Amazing hotel. Lives up to the reviews we researched before our stay. The staff are very helpful and the food is very tasty if you choose to eat at the hotel in the evening. A few things to be aware of: 1) it’s not close to lots of other bars and restaurants so expect to drive or take taxis to get about to the main towns 2) the two restaurants near the hotel were both enjoyable food but I would be careful of the bill - we were overcharged both times. 3) make sure you ask the cost of the taxi from the airport before you get in the taxi, we were overcharged by 40 euros as were other guests. It should be around 60 euros by taxi. However, an Uber is between 40-50 euros. 4) it’s very quiet and tranquil, be prepared to totally relax - some might find it a little too quiet. It’s a small hotel and very civilised which we really liked.

NOTHING like the pictures
Looks NOTHING like the pictures on the Hotels.com page. What looks like a beachfront swimming area is in fact a disappointing bar/ restaurant type of thing (with grubby bathrooms!). Breakfast included was totally uninspired, and room dominated by bad 1980s glass, chrome & leather. Don’t understand the high overall guest reviews at all. Would avoid.

Well maintained hotel with very nice views! Reception staff were not very accommodating and give the impression that it was a chore to help or advise! The hotel was exceptionally clean, the food was very good with a wide selection! The location isn’t ideal for walking to the main centre and you will likely need taxis there and back.

The property was in a quiet location, the rooms were spacious, well maintained and well equipped. It was a little unfortunate that there were building works in progress to update rooms, but the disruption and noise were kept to a minimum. Pool was lovely - though cold (water great once you were in!) Beautiful terrace, plenty of sunbeds and deckchairs. The staff were amazing - everyone helpful, friendly and pleasant.

Home away from home
We travelled as a family of 4 with two young children. The hotels offers anything that is needed to make you feel relaxed and at home whilst being away. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, kitchen is basic but with everything needed plus there is a supermarket a few minutes away to stock up on food and drink. The staff (Catia and Raffaelle) are very nice and helpful and very easy to get hold of if needed. We had a great stay and would definitively recommend staying in this hotel.

Pleasant, but average.
We give this property 3 stars out of 5. It was clean, the welcome very good, plenty of car parking. But the apartment was, in reality, a medium sized room. The air conditioning failed (we now know why in 30+ degrees the central heating was on full when we arrived) when it made a loud whirring noise and so much water came splashing out we had to cover the floor with towels. Would suggest this type of accommodation, and all that goes with it, is aimed principally at the Italian domestic market.

Tucked away treasure
Slight hiccup with late night check in did not spoil our stay and the staff went out of their way to make sure the rest of the holiday was enjoyable. Note if you fly in to Comiso be prepared for a long car journey and Scilian driving. We were quoted €75 per person for a taxi to do this trip. The hotel is up a hill so beach is not really something you want to walk to. The hotel itself was tranquil and the pool area never crowded. Local shops are further up the hill a short distance away. Here you will find a supermarket, chemist, fruit shop and cafe/bakery. If you get a chance do take some guided tours of the area.

What a Wonderful Hotel
The hotel was excellent. Our thanks to all the staff who were so friendly and helpful. Their advice on places to visit and restaurants was greatly appreciated as we really found the real Sicily. They arranged for a private guided tour of Mount Etna with an experienced geologist and vulcanologist. The information and undwrstanding of the volcano that we took away was wonderfully illuminating. The hotel had a special Sicilian dinner at their restaurant on the seafront and many thanks to Rafael for driving us into town and to the kind restaurant staff who drove us back to the hotel. If you are staying at the hotel the Spa/Relax zone is a must. The hot tub has a great view of the bay and also of Mount Etna. Wait till later in the evening if possible as we saw the lava glowing red moving down the mountain. We really would recommend this hotel but a car is essential. The hotel is gated so no problems with secure parking.

Excellent studio apartment
I booked a studio room with a double bed for one week. We were allocated a second floor studio apartment, with a good size balcony (with table and 4 chairs) which had views over the pool. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. All in the same room was a double bed, small kitchen area, and a sitting area with a couch, single chair, coffee table and TV. Large patio doors opened onto balcony. Good size bathroom with shower. The kitchen area had a fridge freezer, two ring electric hob, microwave oven and washing machine, plus a few kitchen cupboards with crockery, cutlery and a small range of cooking utensils. Everything clean. I cooked a few simple meals (e.g. pasta dishes and omelettes). There is a supermarket 5 minute walk away. Lovely outdoor pool, with lawn area and shrubs. It was quiet when we stayed and we practically had a private pool most of the time ! There are excellent parking facilities with security gate. I would suggest that you would definitely need a car. We did walk down to the town, but no pavements much of the way. It took approx. 30 minutes to walk down to the town, but coming back took longer as all up hill ! Great staff - friendly and helpful. Overall, the hotel was an oasis of tranquillity.

Lovely accommodation, near to supermarket
Sicily was disappointing except for our great accommodation. No available parking in nearby towns limited our visit and stopped us being able to eat out which in turn is not good for local economy. We could have spent more! Lovely weather.
