Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a beautiful setting with a range of outdoor thalassotherapy pools, steam rooms, and a lovely indoor pool. The location is stunning, surrounded by nature, but there were some minor service hiccups. The dining options were good but a bit overpriced for certain items.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms, while well-appointed and equipped with everything one could wish for, felt poorly laid out and furnished badly, lacking in both aesthetics and comfort. The service, going above and beyond and personalizing our experience, truly stood out as the best on the island. The breathtaking location, surrounded by olive and orange groves along the southwestern coast of Sicily, offered stunning views despite being quite windy. Dining, unfortunately, was a letdown with overpriced and basic items, resembling a large American resort during breakfast. Overall, a stay with ups and downs worth considering.
