The staff accommodated our need for a quiet ground floor room (my husband sprained both ankles and had very limited mobility). Excellent breakfast and ideal location to explore the town by foot. We highly recommend this small hotel. If you are driving, know the hotel is on a narrow one way street, so you will need your GPS!

There was no hot water in our room . Staff were told but there was no action, only told to turn water on and off , this did not work so no showers were taken. There was written request to not put toilet paper in the toilet !!!. There was a large cockroach in the room . Makes me question how clean the breakfast room was . This was supposed to be a superior room !. Staff were at first understanding but then took on very little responsibility. One of the staff lied to her superiors saying we as usual only complained when leaving . I think this hotel should be avoided and health authorities should be informed to at least inspect this hotel.

Slightly stressful to drop of luggage - one way alley - but otherwise great stay. If you are in a shoulder season trip, the HVAC is centrally controlled, so you will have to adjust to Sicilian temperature preferences ( i.e. on the warmer side).

We booked a “Superior” room as it cost only a few extra Euros/night but ended up with a standard room (smaller and zero view). They gave us a discount on departure but make sure you get the Superior if you book Superior. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
