Fabulous large swimming pool and although a short stroll down several steps it’s a stunning walk and beautiful views from the loungers.Breakfast was amazing and lovely room to eat in with lots of space to get s good table. All staff very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location; beautiful views. One of the best hotels in town. Close to center and Greek theater. Valet parking was very convenient. Staff excellent!!! ##### Natu Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katina 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stunning We nearly never booked this hotel based on some reviews and the pics made it look a little dated. I’m so glad we did. It’s not dated, it’s classic, it’s grand and magical. The grounds to the pool are stunning, the pool makes you feel you are chilling by a millionaires house, not a hotel. The location couldn’t be better, everything is close by and walkable. We didn’t even go to the beach, as the pool was too nice to leave. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0612077c-7430-49f2-863c-2cfd97dda9b4-1749974041373.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa693374-c56c-4179-aa71-f4e0d8a228c1-1749974083245.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d968082-b3b9-46a6-a339-332d5a776988-1749974088666.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4987fd19-592c-4c23-b708-ce021a51ab6d-1749974092374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katina Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We love coming back to this hotel every time we come to Sicily.

Nice staff. Patio with insane view of Etna. Right at the end of the Corso Umberto, so you are really close to all the restaurants and shops, but it’s quieter at this hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn 4 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel, clean and well appointed room and great service, breakfast is very good and the hotel feels safe and classy.

I would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be better signage to indicate where to leave the car for the valet-it was confusing. ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Casa Nostra Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Casa-Nostra-Boutique-Hotel.h39551911.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Isola Bella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Isola-Bella.h1476673.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Palace-Catania-UNA-Esperienze.h1193988.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nettuno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Hotel-Nettuno.h1163540.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Joli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Joli.h1178202.Hotel-Information) > > [Ambasciatori Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Ambasciatori-Hotel.h1213189.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ipanema](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ipanema.h1248394.Hotel-Information) > > [Panoramic Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Panoramic-Hotel.h2593343.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique B&B Vintage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Boutique-BB-Vintage.h16019726.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Catania Parco Degli Aragonesi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-NH-Catania-Parco-Degli-Aragonesi.h906111.Hotel-Information) > > [Bed & Breakfast Il Giardino di Ballarò](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Bed-Breakfast-Il-Giardino-Di-Ballaro.h5334775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Politeama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Politeama.h1427364.Hotel-Information) > > [Itria Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ragusa-Hotels-Itria-Palace.h37893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Ortea Palace Hotel, Sicily, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Ortea-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h17825841.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Natoli Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Palazzo-Natoli-Boutique-Hotel.h26441528.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Porta Felice & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Porta-Felice.h2417797.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Palermo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-NH-Palermo.h17957.Hotel-Information) > > [La Plage Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-La-Plage-Resort.h1723708.Hotel-Information) > > [San Paolo Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-San-Paolo-Palace-Hotel.h45802.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Esperia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Esperia.h1144973.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lido Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Lido-Mediterranee.h526009.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-BB-Hotels-Hotel-Palermo-Quattro-Canti.h972880.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Piazza-Borsa.h3401456.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Bay - VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Atlantis-Bay-VRetreats.h985060.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Villa Politi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Villa-Politi.h1220650.Hotel-Information) > > [Room of Andrea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Hotels-Room-Mate-Andrea-Palazzo-Platamone.h35313325.Hotel-Information) > > [Romano Palace Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Romano-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h1105578.Hotel-Information) > > [Liberty Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Liberty-Hotel.h1068918.Hotel-Information)
