You will love it here!
What a gem! The views are stunning- while dining for breakfast, lunch or dinner, having an aperitivo or staying at the pool. You are staying in a castle but it is completely updated, modern, contemporary and peaceful. You have direct access to the sea for a swim and you will be swimming and viewing so many beautiful fish. If you walk about 5 minutes you are in the town with an easier access to the water- and a sandy beach. At the beach there are a few places to choose to eat, drink or just get a granita. Marzamemi is another town a bit more hip and cool and about a 10 minute drive. The beauty of this place is the old world charm combined with modern elegance. The staff are wonderful,friendly and helpful. The accommodations are super clean and the overall vibe is so calming.

Bellissima location, anche se le camere sono asettiche, non valgono il prezzo richiesto. Gli spazi comuni sono stupendi, la piscina molto bella, ma la colazione non è all'altezza (affettati scadenti e frutta poco fresca).

Ottima posizione , favoloso castello, le camere stupende e comodissime è molto pulite . L unica nota un po’ deludente il bar chiuso già alle 21.30 e poco accogliente e gentile la signora alla reception.
