Valdichiesa Vacations from $368

Walkable distance to Centrale stations and the shopping area. Staff is friendly and helpful. The only down side is that you have to drag your luggage up to level 2 but if that’s not an issue, overall experience is pleasant. Room has all the basics you need.

The pool is very very disappointing. It feels like a pond which doesn't have water circulating. Not for a 4 star hotel, right. Water needs to be filtered. There is dirt floating on top. The parking maneuvering is hard and prone to mistakes. The room is spacious and very clean, this was the bright spot in the hotel. The breakfast is good expect if you stay for few days because the menu is just all the same. The rest is below average. The bathroom has shower which urgently needs replacing. The staff couldn't understand English very well hence I got what I didn't order.

Very clean and big rooms. Staff excellent, especially Dario. Gave tips on Mount Etnea, directions , time Togo etc. he was very helpful.

Hotel is located on a cliff overlooking the sea. The road leading to the hotel is steep. People with walking problem should be aware. Hotel is very near to the public garden which is beautiful. Property is feeling old.

Close to the airport—$25 minimum taxi fare. The room was spacious. The decorations are rather interesting, but the staff was great.
