the hotel is a 50's built low level structure in a corner position and facing a small public garden ,quite pretty , whist opposite is a theatre that has touring shows from italy and localities. our room was huge with dark interior well suited to very bright sicilian summers. Very helpfull staff all spoke english,
breakfast was a muted affair no hot dishes but the usual continental selections,cakes ,ham,cheese,fresh fruit,juicesand cereals, lovely bread rolls and the coffee they serve is delicious. limited under hotel parking was very useful as the streets around are packed with parked cars. Acireale is very quiet at night,not too many dining options hotel has a restaurant,the city has beautiful buildings and is an easy 2 km walk to calm fishing village.
