The staff are excellent, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great with a variety of different foods to choose from. My only complaint I have is the uncomfortable bed, the mattress is extremely hard. I will definitely recommend staying here.

There is no coffee or tea, neither is there any drinking water nor a boiler, the only way to get drinking water is to purchase through reception which is ridiculous. Considering it as a 4-star hotel it is quite old, a light switch is broken and wires inside are uncovered. The sink is also cracked open posing a danger. Air conditioning is very weak and not cool at all. Definitely not worth the price, avoid at all costs.

The Hotel is by the beach. They provide umbrellas and the beach is great. You have a gourgeous view of the town and swim and sit on a sandy beach

The woman who waters the garden is the kindest, most beautiful soul. Seeing her smile everyday just made that day. Nice location too..

10/10

I want to point out: there are no swimming pool nor hot tub. It was important for me. On another hand, the location is perfect. Short walk from the train station. Mostly, flat. Big grocery store within 600 metras. You can have your breakfast on a terrace, looking on a blue water of the sea. Breakfast very fulfilling.

I can’t believe the reviews on this converted communal home that transformed itself into a Hotel. I have been traveling to Italy for 20 years and this is the first time the reviews let me down. This is NOT a hotel please don’t be fooled by the label.
1-night trip
This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified.

8/10

Hotel was located across from the beach and finished to a very high standard. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Not located as close to the old town as I would have liked but it was a pleasant stroll along the beach to reach the historic sites and buildings.

8/10

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was easy, in an overgrown lot next to the hotel. Breakfast was good and caffè great. The rooms are a bit dated and worn down. Meets 3 star expectations though. Not a luxury property but a 15-minute walk from the downtown area and very accessible to the beach. Recommend.

10/10

Well located hotel, near the beach where you have free access to chairs and parasols. Swimming pool by the sea a five-minute walk away. Bord walk to get to the very beautiful old town. Very good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Basic room, very narrow bed and mattress too firm. Smashed patio chairs! suggestion: Offer a free bottle of water
2-night trip

4/10

Pros: across from beach with reserved sunbeds, walking distance to city center, good breakfast. Cons: rundown rooms: shower rusty, ants in room, broken blow dryer, poorly maintained air conditioner. Amenities not as depicted: no hot tub and no nearby pool as shown. Poor experience: I had 2 rooms rundown as described above. AC was not functioning in one room and flooded in the other room. Staff did address issues. Also there is a cafe/bar that has very loud music playing until 1:00 am which made sleep difficult. NOT FOUR STAR establishment in my opinion.

Chegamos antes do horário do check in e a recepcionista nos autorizou ir para o quarto, ficamos muito gratos. O hotel é antigo e não condiz com 4 estrelas. Boa localização , 15 min a pé até o centro. A principal foto do hotel é a piscina e pasmem, não tem piscina no hotel o que nos deixou bem decepcionados. E foi nos dado um papel para a “praia particular” em frente , não era praia particular, era um beach club sem vaga para nós . Ignoraram o papel e disseram que estavam cheios mesmo com várias cadeiras vazias. Voltamos mais tarde e continuaram dizendo que estavam lotados o que também nos decepcionou. A recepcionista fica ao telefone e nos deixa esperando, sem noção . Ao chegar e ao sair com o carro ela avisa que abrirá o portão da garagem e não abre me obrigando a descer do carro e ir de volta na recepção solicitar que abra. O café da manhã é bom . O colchão duro ( de um modo ruim) e roupas de cama ásperas. Nisso quarto era grande e tem uma varandinha.

Idéalement situé face à la plage de Cefalu, nous avons apprécié le checking dès 13h30 qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de la ville et de la plage avec notre voiture en sécurité sur le parking de l'hôtel. L'hôtesse d'accueil parlant très bien le français c'était un plus très agréable pour la compréhension. Après une visite de la ville nous avons pu profiter de transats au Lido Peter Pan pour se reposer après la baignade. Le petit déjeuner était très complet et très bon. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel pour un séjour au calme près de la mer.
