"We had a deeply disappointing experience at Zen Escape. Despite booking a Family Suite with 2 queen beds, we were given a smaller Deluxe Suite with only 1 bed and an unprepared sofa. Most concerning was discovering someone else’s dirty underwear tucked between the sheets—raising serious hygiene issues. When brought to management’s attention, we received no apology or explanation, only a denial and refusal to issue any refund for the downgrade or the incident. Avoid if you value cleanliness and...
"La struttura è nuovissima, così come la camera: super pulita, materasso comodissimo e cuscini morbidi.. Non da ultima, host gentilissima e disponibile!"
"This property is beautiful just remodeled and so well maintained.All the staff was very nice and friendly!
Away from crowds and all the noise,but 5 min away with transportation to city center."
"The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was nice with a breakfast consisting of Sicilian baked goods, coffee and brought in from a local bakery. We also had a small private terrace. Parking was secure and easy. We participated in an ecotour to see Mt. Etna. The tour picked us up at the hotel, which was very convenient."
"A hidden gem in an interesting town a little off the traditional tourist path. Service from Iolanda was incredible, dinner in a nearby winery suggested by the hotel was excellent. Room and hotel common areas were modern and spacious. Breakfast was lovely."
"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. "
"A really cozy little place run by a super friendly couple. The breakfast was out of this world! Worth getting out of the shower for... Will definitely be going back."
"B&b praticamente perfetto in un'ottima zona gestito in maniera esemplare dalla proprietaria sempre molto disponibile e generosa. Stanza grandissima e ben tenuta, colazione abbondante e di buona qualità. Davvero ottima anche in caso di concerti al palasport che si raggiunge in 15 minuti di camminata. Assolutamente consigliato!"
"Great stay overall! The two pools were relaxing, free parking was a big plus, and breakfast was fresh with plenty of options. Special thanks to Raphael, super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Still a beautiful and peaceful spot to unwind in Sicily!"
"The host and rooms were great and felt safe. The neighborhood at night doesn’t feel the safest. However they were very on top to make sure our stay was great which it was"
"The rooms are modern and very clean and comfortable. As a solo female traveler I also felt very safe here and could walk around to the market, bakery and restaurants easily. I really enjoyed my stay and it was nice to have a shared kitchen where I could store food in a fridge and make coffee each morning. The staff is very friendly a responsive and helpful. They even gave me a ride to the train station when I left Catania. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to my friends and family."
"I loved staying at this establishment. The breakfast was wonderful and included in the price. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again."
"The property is in excellent condition. The pool with a diving board can entertain you all day. My kids had a blast. The owner is very nice. There is an Etna tour (ask the owner directly) that picks you up at 8mood and brings you back there. Excellent overall."

Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference Center
10/10 Excellent
"Unusal, quirky decor but a great hotel! Staff friendly and helpful, very clean, beds incredibly comfortable and a brilliant pool area.
Breakfast quite basic (extra charge for fried eggs or omelette) and restaurant pricey as often is the case in hotels.
Not central to Catania but lovely to be away from the craziness so you can relax. Good bus options to the town, or further up the coast. "
"This property exceeded every expectation and was by far the best property we stayed at during our ten day road trip in Sicily. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up staying two days rather than one. Frederica greeted us as we arrived and continued to provide friendly and hospitable service to us during our stay. She made us feel at home. The property is gorgeous: clean, comfortable, and relaxing. As first time travelers to Sicily, we felt safe and relaxed here. We will definitely come again. "
"The hotel was great overall. The customer service was good. Our only complaint is that our room smelled like strong cigarettes. It was as if someone was smoking while cleaning. Towels, tissue paper, and pillow cases all as if we were breathing in ashtray. Aside from that, the view was great and the pool nice (minus an adult man that kept spitting in the pool!) The staff was fabulous. The breakfast was amazing and dinner very good. It was nice to get up and away from the tiny Italian streets."
"We had a fantastic stay at Catania Hills Residence and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting this part of Sicily!
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. The lady at reception (I wish I could remember her name!) was incredibly professional, patiently explaining everything in detail and setting the tone for a great stay. Every member of the team we encountered was friendly and helpful throughout.
The room we stayed in was amazing – incredibly spacious, clean, and perfect for a family of four. Honestly, we had so much space to spread out!
Parking-wise, it's so good to have our own private garage! Super convenient, especially since we had a hire car and were doing day trips around the area.
The location is perfect if you have a car – we had no trouble driving to Catania, Naxos, Taormina, and Syracuse during our stay.
And having a EuroSpar just across the road was a real bonus for stocking up on groceries and snacks.
The swimming pool is beautifully maintained – immaculate, really – and the kids had an absolute blast.
All in all, Catania Hills Residence was a brilliant base for our family holiday, and we’d happily stay here again."
"This place is practically closed.
The pool area is sad as there is a pool bar and bbq area that hasnt been used in at least a decade. My wife had to sweep the area up before she sunbathed on horrid dirty plastic sunbeds. There is no restaurant on site as its closed down and no bar either.
The lobby is dark and gloomy and all the sofas smell of cat urine and feces.
Breakfast is not worth getting up for as its just s few sweet cakes and horrible coffee. There is no tv lounge as advertised and the staff cant speak a word of English even though it states that the staff are multi lingual. This us a depressing place to stay i could leave quick enough."
Why not visit the native and exotic animals who live at Butterfly House during your trip to Viagrande? Savour the area's wineries and local cheese shops.
