“Excellent Well Run Hotel”
Hotel well extemely helpful, the kept contacting the aiport for use where our bags were lost. The rooms were a good size and well decorated. Don't be put off by the main road running past the hotel as it is well sound proofed.
“A wonderful visit”
We had an excellent stay here, maily because of the friendly, efficient and helpful staff. The hotel is very well designed and presented although at first the site does not look promising. The food was good - especially delicious pizzas but the menu was a little limited, pehaps because we were there out of season. Acireale is a fascinating town with some excellent retaurants and cafes. It makes a good centre for exploring this part of Sicily with Taormina, Catania and Syracuse all within easy reach.
“A place you want to go back to”
We stayed at Santa Caterina for 3 nights, despite having initially planned only for one. We enjoyed the nice view, good accomodation and above all an outstandingly good reastaurant serving the best and most original Pizzas we ever ate anywhere on this planet! Pasta and other dishes were excellent, the wine choice very large and of excellent quality, the service very friendly and the price more than fair! No wonder the locals come there in large crowds (specially on Saturday evenings) with all their family members and friends to enjoy!!!
“Everything I wanted it to be”
Fantastic! We had a view of the sea, the towels and sheets smelled delicious, the room was impeccably clean, and the location is perfect -- non-touristy, and serves as a good point to Taormina for the day, or any of the smaller coastal cities. Acireale is beautiful. I would DEFINITELY stay here again, and I would hands down recommend it to anyone traveling to Sicily.
“great start and end to trip to Sicily”
Once the receptionist explained that state road 114 is the way to get to and from the autostrade, this became a hotel that's easy to get to and from (this avoids the complex streets in the city of Acireale). Staff are very friendly & helpful, food in restaurant is good and reasonably priced, comfortable and quiet rooms, supermarket (Ipersimply) is close (5 minute drive). Santa Caterina is about 45 minutes from the Catania airport, and the location is good for a starting or ending point.
“Good base for the East of Sicily”
Friendly hotel, close to main road but not affected by it. Good base for trips to Etna, Taormina and Catania
“Superb Hotel”
This has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in!! The rooms where nice and cosy, very clean and comfortable with a balcony that has a view of the sea. The pool was nice and clean. It was a very quite at this time of the year, a very good place to have a relaxing holiday. The staff where second to none, very friendly and they do a lot to help. I will definately be going back!!
“Good Hotel in quiet resort”
The Santa Caterina is a lovely hotel but there is not a lot going on in Acireale. Use it as a base if you hire a car. There are virtually no trains or bus services and taxis are expensive. Acireale has no restaurants of note that we found so you'll be eating in the hotel most nights. Not a bad thing as the food was good. Service was a little erratic. We ate in the restaurant 4 times, twice we were served bread with our meal, twice they clean forgot. And when you ask for a glass of wine and a Sprite, you expect the latter to be served in a glass, not handed the can! When we asked for a glass and some ice, the waiter reached over to another table, took a glass from there, then fetched some ice from the bar which was brought to us in a bowl. We only needed a few ices cubes in a glass, not half a freezers worth!! Our stay was marred slightly on the last day. We were due to fly out of Sicily in the evening, so asked if we could use a room later in the day to freshen up i.e. spend the afternoon by the pool and then use a room for 30 minutes before we got a taxi to the airport, They refused our request stating the hotel was full, when quite clearly it wasn't. You could see 3 rows of keys lined up behind reception and no one checked into the room we had used. We had to take a cold shower by the pool and use the toilet to get changed. Simply not good service if you're claiming to be a 4 star hotel. You should not treat guests in that way for such a simple request.
“Pleasant, relaxing stay”
Very nice, pleasant hotel with helpful and polite service. Breakfast not wonderful, but definitely adequate. Great views. Bar expensive. No problems with noise in spite of location. Car essential if you want to go anywhere, especially in winter.
“Great hotel - but rather limited location”
This is a very nice smallish hotel with comfortable rooms and great food. Large numbers of locals eat there most nights...which is always a good sign! Try the swordfish involtini!! Hotel is sandwiched between coastal road and railway and town centre quite a walk away. As it was February, pool area too cold to use and not much in the way of facilities in the hotel - bar hardly ever open...but probably different in summer. We didnt find the surrounding area very attractive but it is a good base for exploring Etna and coast.
