Comfortable hotel with friendly, caring staff. Reception staff speaks perfect English but were also happy to help me practice my Italian. What set this hotel apart for me is that all of the staff, from reception to housekeeping, was friendly and seemed to genuinely care to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. There’s a laundry room with washer, dryer and iron, available at no extra charge. Nice breakfast with the usual such as coffee, croissants, cake, toast, meats and cheese, plus boiled eggs and omelets made to order. Also homemade cookies and muffins! Beautiful garden/seating area with hot tub. Our room had a view of Mt. Etna from the window, and a nice balcony in the back. One day after I asked if they could turn the AC down, we returned later that evening to find that the gentleman at the front desk had not only turned the AC down, but had also put a card key in to make sure the room started to cool off while we were gone, and left 2 bottles of water chilling in an ice bucket for us! Only downside for us was that the AC system seemed not to be strong enough to get the room quite cool enough. I didn’t have a car during the daytime so explored the area on foot - there are a bar, a little takeaway place and a fruit stand around the corner. The Deco grocery store is only about 1/2 mile walk, and is across the street from the “******* Castle” or Castello di Leucatia, which has an interesting modern history. There’s also remains of a Roman acqueduct on Via Leucatia. Thank you Ollen Apar**ents for a lovely stay!
