I must first comment on how helpful the staff were in this family run hotel. My room had a small terrace looking across to Sicily and Mount Etna which was a bonus. The room was comfortable and well appointed and the breakfast very good. I was visiting out of season and like many resorts there is not too many places open. My host's family also has a restaurant, El Faro, about 800m along the lungomare and on his suggestion I went there. I was not sure about time to dine as I have found 7:30 in some places 8:00 in others in Italy. No problem he called ahead at 7:30 and I was met by the host and treated to an excellent dinner. Overall my experience was excellent.

“A nice stay”

Very nice hotel managed by family members. Very nice, clean rooms well equipped. The waiters are very kind ... no problem.. In the room WiFi air cintiniones.. the beach is across the street 3 min walking, not sand as in all coast. The sea is fantastic.

“Gardenia Hotel”

I think that we were likely the only couple at their hotel, but it was well organized. A pool, restaurant, very high tech lights and room security. Right across the street from the Strait of Messina and views over to Mount Etna and Sicily..

“Pristine no personality hotel”

A fairly new hotel directly opposite the straits with clear and close views of Mt Etna. Spotlessly clean, staff helpful, altho a little reserved, after the little family-run places we had been staying in. Our room was beautiful and the spa bath most welcome after a very long drive.

A fairly new hotel directly opposite the straits with clear and close views of Mt Etna. Spotlessly clean, staff helpful, altho a little reserved, after the little family-run places we had been staying in. Our room was beautiful and the spa bath most welcome after a very long drive. The view was an unexpected bonus, but the 5 Euro parking charge was unnecessary, as it is easy enough to park on the lungomare outside. Not sure if it was because it wasnt quite in season yet, but there was no restaurant on the premises, and we were told there was one we could use 900m along the beach. We didnt get that far, because there was a perfectly respectable, quite upmarket restaurant 200m from the hotel. Breakfast was a bit sparse. Starchy but does the job for a good price.
