Portopalo di Capo Passero Holidays

Staff were very accommodating. Room was in new building, with great amenities. Easy parking. On-site dining excellent. Great spot for a Mt Etna excursion.

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.

Property and room were clean and well maintained. Breakfast buffet and staff were excellent. Only problem was banging noises late at night from the room above. Also, stairs at entrance can be a problem for handicapped people. Thank you.

The front desk people and those presenting breakfast each morning were the best!
