San Piero Patti Holidays from AU$3,023

Large room, comfortable bed, amenities, restaurant and bar that close at 1am. Friendly staff.

This hotel building, carved into the stone, survived the 1693 earthquake and is over seven hundred years old. Josepi, on his second day at work, was an enormous help in parking my car, which was a midsize MG SUV. He went over and above what was expected. Breakfast was a joy with great staff, that would make you coffee exactly how I wanted it and kept it coming without having to ask. Sparkling wine awaited you in the cavern-like separate sitting area upon arrival after a stressful drive, before checking in. Linda and Eugenio gave us incredible service making reservations at restaurants for us and advice on visiting Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa. Linda phoned a restaurant for me when I thought that I had left my hat behind. The atmosphere of the hotel more than made up for the somewhat tight quarters of our room which could be accessed from the street, or by going up a spiral staircase cut int0 the stone behind the front desk. Service at it’s finest.

Excellent accommodation and people

Spectacular former convent from 1500 with 10 year amazing restoration! Staff were best ever . Grounds contain Ancient Greek ruins . Chef was brilliant. Greatest value

Breakfast selection was good, staff friendly and helpful. Limited wifi in outdoor areas by pool. Limited transport options into Catania. Uber taxis were expensive and unreliable.
