C'è tanto da fare
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).

Posto molto suggestivo, bella vista mare con personale molto disponibile e gentile. La colazione offerta di ottima qualità con buona possibilità di scelta tra dolce e salato.
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.
Beautiful restoration of a castle....every attention to detail. Great English speaking and friendly staff. Amazing views and fascinating history of the area.
Hôtel château impeccable, personnel et service aussi, mais menu au restaurant à 40€ à éviter absolument ( spaghetti tomates - 1 tranche de porc 3 légumes - 1 boule de glace ! ) improbable ! Valeur 15€ en se forçant mais service professionnel et souriant
Il castello è molto seggestivo ed è posto a strapiombo sul mare. Di recente restauro e impeccabile nella pulizia e ambientazione. Le camere matrimoniali standard sono un po’ piccole. Colazione ottima.
Un gioiellino siciliano.
C’È Poco da dire se non fare i complimenti a tutto lo staff per la gentilezza e la professionalità. Camere spaziosissime, vista da favola, location perfetta. Bellissimo e da tenere presente ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Posizione incantevole,struttura molto bella, soggiorno magnifico, mare spettacolare, personale molto disponibile e cordiale. Per colmare l'ultimo passo vs la perfezione (veramente per ospiti esigenti come me): piccolo stenditoio per i costumi bagnati, rafforzare il wifi e migliorare la colazione per renderla adeguata all'elevato standing della struttura.
