A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great stay and good breakfast. Close proximity to the beach was a good perk. The staff was professional and the facility seemed to be renovated recently.”
“Wonderful weekend, everything was perfect. Excellent breakfast with a great variety of sweet and savory options, including delicious Sicilian pastries. Stunning sea-view room”
“I had a lovely stay for a weekend getaway! The location was simply amazing, with easy access to the sea, allowing us to enjoy beach walks and refreshing swims. The pool was a fantastic spot to relax in, offering a serene atmosphere and stunning views. The food was delicious and authentically Sicilian. What truly made our experience special was the welcoming and attentive staff, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. I can't wait to book another vacation here soon!”
“if you know what to expect in Sicily, then this hotel is quite chill. Great view, chill and helpful staff. Breakfast was mid and rooms could be improved, but sea-view is incredible. I was here twice and if I went to Palermo, would stay here the third time. It is easily the most nice and safe place in Mondello, I just wish for some improvements”
“We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Sicily. Everything was perfect – the hotel was very clean, the food was excellent, and the staff was friendly, professional, and always helpful. A special thank you to Salvo, the waiter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and professional throughout our stay. We highly recommend this hotel and would be happy to return!”
“I was reading about this hotel good and bad reviews. 1st of all people have to understand what they are looking for. If a vacation is based on staying all day in the room, than my advice is ...search another one.But if you want an wonderful atmosphere around, this one is the best choice. From position, to service, breacfast and a la carte restaurant, for us , couple, was perfect. But most of all , stuff are very friendly share with us best to have a perfect stay.”
