Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were so spacious and had the most amazing view of the sea and Sicily. However, the smell of old tobacco was really off-putting. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly welcoming and friendly. The location couldn't have been better, right next door to the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria. The dining experience was exceptional, especially with the beautiful view overlooking the beach and Sicily. Overall, a great experience!
I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms that had a touch of 1970s style. The food was delicious, and the views were stunning, especially from the balcony overlooking the straits of Messina and Mount Etna. Despite some dated decor, I slept well in the massive bed and appreciated the nice balcony.
