« Gardenia Hôtel », belle chambre avec balcon donnant face à la mer avec vue sur la Sicile et le Volcan « Etna ». Hôtel très calme, très confortable. La literie est parfaite, les chambres sont spacieuses, salle de bain très bien équipée. La dame de l’accueil (Carmella ?) qui parle le Français, est adorable et très attentionnée ; Merci pour toute sa gentillesse. Possibilité de garer sa voiture gratuitement juste en face de l’hôtel ; Seul problème (qui a déjà été soulevé par d’autres commentaires !) le petit déjeuner qui est médiocre ! et qui n’était pas conforme à nos attentes par rapport au standing de l’hôtel (c’est dommage) ; Pas de fruit (juste un tout petit peu de fraises à peine pour 2 personnes), petit pain pas frais, pas de jus de fruit … uniquement Café, et biscottes, et gâteaux secs

Un bel hôtel sur la mer Il s’agit d’un hôtel relativement moderne situé en première ligne de mer. La chambre de 18 m², est spacieuse et moderne, aux tons pastels. La moquette usée devrait être remplacée par du carrelage. La salle de bain est très moderne, deux, taille moyenne, avec une douche et une baignoire à jets. Le balcon offre une vue splendide sur la mer, de même que le 3ème étage qui accueille une piscine sur le toit plat. La petite plage en galets se trouve juste en face : l’eau est très belle et propre. Le petit-déjeuner est très moyen avec avant tout des produits pré-emballés.

È stato difficile da individuare. I cartelli informativi sono troppo prossimi all HOTEL. Esteticamente è bello ma per aver parcheggiato la moto in un garage al coperto completamente vuoto hanno richiesto un supplemento. Colazione sufficiente
