The hotel overall was very nice, room was reasonable, common areas were lovely, dinner was very very good, service in the dining room was excellent. But I have to say this was the tiniest shower we encountered the whole trip - it was 27-inches square! The whole bathroom in general was a bit too small. Now granted, in Sicily, obesity is pretty much non-existent, and the people are smaller of stature in general, but a typical American male would be bumping elbows in this shower, and I can't imagine how an overweight American would fare in there. Front desk staff were just a bit chilly - nothing I could put a finger on, but just to say we enjoyed "warmer" at other hotels. It was very good for the price though, and no regrets.
