The view was breathtaking and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms were extremely outdated and not fresh. The pillows were very flat with 1 per person. The bathroom was rusted and needed to be regrouted. The property was not maintained too well. It could be magnificent if taken care of properly.

Really higher service level than normally received, friendly staff, amazing view, the breakfast was amazing, including all the best of local specialties. The only strange thing was the poolboy who protected the pooltowels with his life - you were not allowed to leave the pool area with them. But besides that, it was an amazing stay and we look forward to return.

Unfortunately we were not able to get to the property until late in the evening but the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The room was air conditioned well appointed. The property is itself is stunning and very well maintained. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet in the restaurant by the pool with a fantastic view of Sicily.

Excellent Off-Season Value

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon in October, for a 2-night stay, only to learn that the spa is closed on Mondays. Sunday, we had a vast array of breakfast buffet items to ourselves, as we were apparently the only guests in this expansive hotel complex. We enjoyed 2 delicious dinners in dining room. Our bed was very comfortable; spacious bathroom. Very nice water view from our balcony, with Sicily in the distance. Staff were personable and helpful. Overall: EXCELLENT off-season value, although wind and rain prevented us from enjoying outdoor pool/facilities.

The property and staff were great but transportation into the nearby town of Scilla was not easy - no local cab service so one had to arrange taxi service from the nearest city and it was expensive and cumbersome. The area is GORGEOUS

There was a large group of people travelling together. We all selected the same room options when booking and paid the same price, but some people were in a new and modern building while we were in a dark, much older building with faded carpets, beds that were very hard and we were only given 1 thin pillow. I requested additional pillows, however they were never provided. That being said, the pool and the restaurant were great. Had we been in the other building, our experience would have been much better.

Everything was great. The one thing I will say, ensure that you have clicked on the right amount of guests; for some reason, my Expedia defaulted to one guest and we were charged 40 euro a night for each night, which ended up costing an additional 400 euro for the stay.
