Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel was such a gem! It's located near the town center, making it so convenient for exploring the area and experiencing the local charm. The rooms had a large double bed that was incredibly comfortable, but the toiletries were a bit lacking. The housekeeping service was top-notch, and the tours/ticket assistance provided added so much value to my stay. The dining experience, especially the Sicilian pastry, was a delightful treat. Though the facilities were great overall, there were some minor issues. The price was reasonable, and the location was quiet and perfect for relaxation.

The dining experience offered seasonal products, which was a nice touch. The facilities met my expectations, but I felt the price could have been better for the value offered.
