Norman Castle Tours

Wonderful staff and excellent breakfast. Highly recommend.

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.

We had a beautiful room with a corner balcony facing the sea. The room was very spacious with a comfortable bed and pillows, a fridge and a safe. The bathroom was large and clean too. There was also lots of wardrobe space and hangers. The breakfast was plentiful and very tasty, ranging from scrambled or boiled eggs, bacon, cereal, lots of different dried fruits and nuts and seeds, jam and honey, amazing, fresh croissants and an array of homemade cakes which were delicious! We loved the breakfast. Free parking was right next to the entrance to the hotel. The pool was clean and the staff at the bar next to the pool were friendly. In fact, all the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
