Sicilia's Art Hotel & Spa

Es esta ocasión nos alojaron en unos de sus apartamentos, que si bien son más amplios, en mi opinión están más expuestos al ruido de los vehículos, lo que resta encanto a nuestra estancia. El desayuno continúa siendo variado y sabroso. Y la atención de 10! La única pega es que la cama no era tan cómoda como en otras ocasiones.

Jag har ingen aning om hur detta är så bra betygsatt. Spa verkar inte existera, såg det aldrig hela tiden vi var där, rummen är trevliga, läget är hemskt, inget på gångavstånd alls, bara en stormarknad, det ligger bredvid en livlig väg och i ett bostadsområde så hundar skälla konstant dag och natt. Det fanns massor av barn som gjorde det lilla poolområdet oanvändbart. Det finns restyling på botten av en mycket brant backe, förmodligen en 25 minuters promenad ner och en mycket ansträngande promenad tillbaka som är helt uppför backen hela vägen. Frukost är exakt samma lilla men välsmakande urval varje dag, om du vill göra omelett eller pannkakor är det en dold extra kostnad, blev stucken för €32 i kassan trots att jag bokade bed and breakfast. SKAFF EN HYRBIL annars blir det en mardröm, vi åkte till flygplatsen och fick en dag 3.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. From the gorgeous setting to the beautiful suite and the amazing staff it was truly wonderful. A small boutique hotel amongst a beautiful setting. Fillipo (taxi driver) who picked us up from the airport was generous with his information on the route to the hotel. He and the staff went beyond their duty to ensure our stay was unforgettable. Melissa and Chaira - so many thanks for your hospitality- truly unique service. The upgraded room was the icing on the cake! We will definitely be back! Karen Milner

Food / dinner was out of this world. Chef is a culinary genius. Staff very friendly and organised a car, trips etc. They upgraded our room to an apartment. Would fully recommend to anyone going to sicily to use this as a base for travelling. Amazing.

Superb seven night stay at this very stylish boutique hotel a little to the north of Catania. Room was huge with own walk-in wardroom, roll top bath and decent sized private garden. Probably the best lit hotel room I have ever stayed in - took a few minutes to figure out quite what all the switches controlled. Food was superb, lovely buffet breakfast with quite a range of bakery, yoghurts and cold meats. Dinners were excellent with amuse-bouche at the start and specials often available (swordfish steak was excellent). Comprehensive list of Sicilian wines - I think I wiped out the stocks of 'Nozze d'Oro' ! Service was terrific - great restaurant staff, hard working cleaning staff and a very good reception team. The latter were able to sort everything from private tours up Etna, taxi requests, transfer times back to the airport, and Postcards to be posted. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. In terms of location, either a walk (c45 mins) or a taxi to Acireale railway station, and hence Trentitalia trains North or South. When we return to Sicily I would hope to stay here again !

Stayed for a week. Good points .Very Friendly and Helpful Staff .Excellent food in the restaurant and a big thank you Andrea who was extra helpful and kind .Good breakfast selection We upgraded to a suite (301) and the suite was beautiful with views of the ocean and Etna Not so good points requiring attention WiFi was terrible and very erratic or non existent yet worked fine in the common areas of the hotel.Remarked to reception three times without any result Upon arrival we we shown our room and the receptionist was very pleased to show that we had a small kitchen We had no particular desire to cook food but had we done so there were 2 odd plates , one knife, two forks and a teaspoon. No wine glasses no Champagne flutes (celebrations ) and no cups or kettle (we bought one )for a cup of tea in the morning. We booked the hotel restaurant (excellent) through The Fork and for each night of our stay were offered a 20% discount. We were encouraged by the hotel to cancel and book directly with them We did so and received a 10% discount ! Bizarre. Resident 10% non residents via the Fork 20% ! We pointed this out to reception to be told that the hotel does not give the full 20% discount on drinks only food whereas the hotels 10% is on everything. I think we can all do the maths on that one ! The hotel is very isolated and there is no way to stay there without a car
