It was far from many things and walking was very dangerous. Due to the fact there wasn’t any sidewalks. You had to go against traffic. That was the only thing the location should’ve been a little bit better.

Nice hotel but bit of a walk into the city (that’s my fault not the hotels), needs a bit of money spending on it as looking dated
Great pool on rooftop and breakfast!!

For a hotel that is meant to be a 4 star establishment it was very outdated and basic things like air conditioning weren’t working.

The worst hotel I ever stayed in. They advertised A/v in the rooms but it hasn’t been working for over a year since there were other reviews saying the same thing. The room was dirty and outdated. The beds were horrible my wife found hair in the made bed. The only positive was the view. It was breathtaking.

The pool area was ok , but the staff try to rip you off for money . We were given a bill on checkout which did not relate to what we had eaten or what the city tax should have been. I queried the city tax as he said 32 euros was correct for 2 nights he then halved this to 16 which was still incorrect as the new rates don’t apply till October the 1st . They don’t get you to sign in the restaurant this is so they can make your bill whatever they wish . I ended up paying a wholly incorrect amount just so I could leave - as I didn’t want to miss my train . Restaurant staff seemed nice but pay as you go or you will get ripped off - my advice avoid and stay somewhere else . I intend claiming a refund from my card provider for the overpayments they have wrongly taken .

After 5 days cycling across Sicily I was really looking forward to relaxing at the rooftop pool before catching the ferry to Cagliari the following day.
At reception I was informed the pool was closed that day only for an emergency problem. I got the feeling this was a regular and convenient excuse so be careful fellow travelers when booking this hotel for the pool it promotes heavily. I saw no-one in a rush to fix the emergency for guests either so wonder whether it would really be fixed by the next day. I left early morning so had no chance to find this out.
When checking out I asked for a small discount (just wanted to see them make a little gesture, even a bottle of water might have been something) on leaving on account that they had not fulfilled their part of the offer. I was told they could not do this but I could refuse to pay my bar biil if I liked and they would report this. I didn't appreciate having their issue represented back to me as a defaulting customer in this way so paid the bill and decided to write this review instead.
The hotel itself was dated, the bedroom was quite acceptable although the bathroom was certainly in need of modernizing.
The neighbourhood was a bit rundown, ok for walking through in daylight hours but I would have been more anxious after dark. The hotel is a 20 minute walk from the historic centre and there appeared little choice of local restaurants so you will probably need a taxi to go in abs or if the city to eat at night.

pool and beach no wifi though
Great pool and breakfast- location on beach but a long walk from center of town in the boiling heat- reception nice and friendly. My only issue was the lack of wifi in the room. No matter how many times I asked- there was no wifi and so I could not use my computer in that private space. Also no Spanish or English subtitles working on TV- I learned a lot of Italian watching it. Really a great deal for the price other than wifi!!
