Top Mascalucia Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Baia Verde

8/10 Good

"The hotel has an amazing setting, and the swimming pool in particular was really lovely. Although the décor is somewhat old-fashioned, everything was very well kept and maintained, which gave the hotel a certain charm. The staff was very friendly and helpful. However, I was disappointed by the bathroom facilities, particularly the shower. For a hotel of this calibre, the shower was shockingly basic and felt very cheap. My friend, who is almost 83 years old, had to climb over a high-sided bathtub in order to take a shower. He specifically requested a room with a walk-in shower, but unfortunately none was available. I believe this is a significant health and safety concern, particularly for older guests, as climbing into and out of a high bathtub can present a genuine risk of falling. The breakfast was also disappointing and, in my view, below the standard I would expect from a hotel of this quality. Overall, the beautiful setting, pool and well-maintained surroundings are definite positives, but the bathroom facilities and breakfast need considerable improvement to match the standard expected of the hotel."

Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful hotel, great location. Wide variety of delicious food at breakfast. Clean room. Very nice and helpful staff. Rita helped us book our excursion to mount etna, her smile and service made our day. Rooftop with a nice view of the city with a restaurant, very convenient if you prefer to stay in."

Romano House

10/10 Excellent

"I had a comfortable stay. The room was clean and well kept, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. I arrived very late in the morning, but they still allowed me to check in without any issues, which I really appreciated after a long journey. There are plenty of shops nearby, making it convenient to pick up essentials or explore the area. The staff also provided useful maps and guidance about nearby places, which made getting around much easier. Overall, a pleasant stay with supportive staff and a convenient location."
