Grand Hotel Faraglioni

"Pros - lovely room (we had deluxe room on 4th floor) Most staff very friendly & keen to help - were given brochures for tours & ablut local area, had taxis booked for us Wide range of food for breakfast including the sicilian sweet cakes (bizarre!), bacon & eggs, toast, yogurt, nuts, cereal. Reasonably priced food & drinks in restaurant - similar to other places in Acitrezza Good coffee bar downstairs Cons - storage space in room negligible - we ended up living put of our suitcases! Acitrezza itself is out of the way, need to use local buses/taxis to get anywhere (not hotel's fault - did not do enough research before booking!) Only one key for room - would have benefitted from two. All in all a lovely hotel but we should have gone for somewhere more central to the sites & wonders of Sicily."

"The area was beautiful. But the hotel was not what we expected. Our double bed was two single mattresses pushed together. Not enough storage in the room and floors were not overly clean. Breakfast was ok, but too many cakes for this time of day. Terrace restaurant was really good food. But very expensive. As for their beach club, that is a joke. Sun deck at best and over priced. Advice to anyone staying, head to the harbour where there are some amazing and reasonably priced restaurants."

"We spent a lovely week at the hotel. The staff were always courteous, friendly and professional. A special thanks must go to Francesco at Reception for his invaluable tips on nearby restaurants and his overall help with everything else. We would also like to thank Valeria in the restaurant and the other restaurant staff. The food in the restaurant was exceptionally good and we ended up eating dinner there on three occasions. We will definitely return to the hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay for making us feel so welcome."
