strand nær Santa Maria la Scala

Hotel didnt want to cancel my booking, as I wasnt able to fly to Catania due to the vulcano.

Nice looking and well kept place. Room was nice although a bit disconnected with two floors. The staff was very nice. Great to have the possibility to rent bikes at is quite remote. The facilities were frankly dissapointing for being one of the most well regarded hotels around the area. Sterile outdoor area and a lot of empty space which made the experience somewhat uncanny. We booked with spa entrance which we regret, the outdoor pool would have been sufficient. The saunas are either chilly or very dry, so the sauna experience was not up to the expectations. The cold bath was a small tube where immersing your head was not possible. Fine except for the fact that it was in the main room with bubble pool and connections between each facility as tjhe compressor was running continuously making the whole area noisy. Not very relaxing. Although a very nice place, it was not worth the price.
