I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely stunning, right by the water with beautiful views, and the rooms have a unique artistic style. However, the service was lacking, and I found the dining options to be quite limited. The atmosphere is great for relaxation, but I left feeling that some improvements could be made in service efficiency and food variety.

I had a unique experience at this hotel in Sicily. The location is fantastic with stunning views and easy access to the beach. The rooms, although creative, had some quirks like being entirely lined in aluminum and lacking traditional windows. The service was exceptional, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. However, the dining options were a bit limited, which was a slight letdown. Overall, it's a decent stay, but the room design might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Rooms

The rooms were quite unique but lined completely in aluminum with no traditional windows, which felt a bit unusual. I chose 'the shadow line' room that faced the ocean and had a small portal to view the sea, which was interesting.

The hotel boasts a unique charm with its stunning views of the sea and artistic rooms. I particularly loved the balcony space of the copper-lined room, but found the aluminum room a bit strange with no windows. The staff was friendly and attentive, though the dining options could use some improvement. The location is beautiful, right by the beach, making it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

I experienced two rooms: one completely lined in copper with a fantastic balcony overlooking the sea and another in aluminum that was quite unusual with no windows. While the copper room was a delight, the aluminum room felt uncomfortable.
