"Hotel is a bit difficult to find with GPS. Rooms and hotel were very clean. Breakfast was very nice as was dinner.

Top Acireale Hotel Reviews

Country-house with pool and Etna and sea views

8/10 Good

"Nous sommes venus avec des amis et etions 6 adultes et 6 enfants. L emplacement dans les champs de citron avec vue incroyable sur l'Etna est une vraie valeur ajoutée et l espace piscine est superbe. La maison est bien conçue avec des appartements séparés pour chaque famille permettant une bonne intimité. Climatisation partout, propreté impeccable ! La pièce de vie intérieure et cuisine est un peu juste néanmoins pour accueillir la logistique d'autant de personnes, mais nous vivions principalement dehors ???? L'hôte est très agréable et aidant. Nous y avons passé un bon sejour."

"It was an honour to stay in this beautiful family home with such heritage and history. Full of memories and links to the past this is a very special place. As a multigenerational family we all loved the peace and beauty of Castello Claves. We were welcomed like family and enjoyed a reunion in this very special place. The pool and gardens are beautiful with masses of wild life. The castle is beyond words. With the sea to the from and Mt Etna behind you this wonderful oasis is everything you could want and more."

"Il n'y a pas assez d'étoiles pour évaluer ce site. Si on pouvait, on en mettrait au moins 6. L'endroit est magnifique avec un environnement à couper le souffle, surtout sur la terrasse avec d'un côté la vue sur l'Etna et la plantation de citronniers, et de l'autre, la vue sur la mer. Que dire aussi de l'accueil de notre hôte. Un passionné qui ne tarit pas d'information. Grande chambre confortable et très propre. Petits déjeuners avec variété de choix. Seul bémol, pour certains, l'endroit est isolé et les déplacements se font en voiture."

Hotel Santa Tecla Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. The facilities were excellent - beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, just like the photos. Plenty of sunbeds to relax in. Easy access to swim in the sea from the hotel, with lifeguards on duty. Delicious food at all the restaurants. There isn't much to do in the immediate surrounding area - we walked into the nearest town one evening but we decided that the bars and restaurants on offer at the hotel were much nicer. This was perfect for us as we had intended our short trip to be a relaxing one based in the hotel, but for anyone hoping to explore Sicily a bit more I'd recommend renting a car, as taxis can be expensive.
