Alcara li Fusi Holidays from £245

Excellent throughout. Close enough to enjoy the city center (15mins by car) and beach (20mins by car), without getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of crowds. Exceptional staff, both caring and informative.

This hotel building, carved into the stone, survived the 1693 earthquake and is over seven hundred years old. Josepi, on his second day at work, was an enormous help in parking my car, which was a midsize MG SUV. He went over and above what was expected. Breakfast was a joy with great staff, that would make you coffee exactly how I wanted it and kept it coming without having to ask. Sparkling wine awaited you in the cavern-like separate sitting area upon arrival after a stressful drive, before checking in. Linda and Eugenio gave us incredible service making reservations at restaurants for us and advice on visiting Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa. Linda phoned a restaurant for me when I thought that I had left my hat behind. The atmosphere of the hotel more than made up for the somewhat tight quarters of our room which could be accessed from the street, or by going up a spiral staircase cut int0 the stone behind the front desk. Service at it’s finest.

Hotel was well located for our visit to Etna. It was comfortable and clean. Parking on site with a good restaurant.

I enjoyed my one night stay at this hotel in Catania. My room had a lovely balcony window street view of the duomo and included a delicious breakfast. The location was very convenient, and as a solo traveler I felt safe. Thank you for the beautiful Il Gattopardo room! The interior was very modern and clean with elevator and stairs. The staff was very accommodating and helpful to call me a taxi for my departure.
