Watch the world pass you by from Piazza San Domenico. If its well-trodden paths could talk, this historic square would have some amazing stories to tell.

Piazza San Domenico is the perfect place to begin exploring Acireale. This public square comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Save time for other attractions like Acireale Cathedral, Norman Castle, and Piazza del Duomo to get a complete picture of what the area has to offer.

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.

My family and I had an excellent stay! We stayed in the Presidential Suites and were very impressed. The room was gorgeous and the view from the balcony was fantastic. The staff was extremely accommodating and kind. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
