After being told of a Hotel on the northern coast of Sicily that was designed by a group of artists, we headed that way. Fascinated, to experience an odd slant to hospitality. Upon arriving at the tiny town of Castel di Tusa (there are no other hotels) we found the 'Art Hotel'. A 4 storey building with about 35 rooms,... more

Hmm... It seems that previous reviewers either loved it or hated it. In reality its a interesting place that has tried something different and hasn't been totally successful. I quite liked the art and the different ambience of the hotel. The town is small but relaxing and you do need a car to get around. The restaurant round the corner... more

We were on a road trip around Sicily and booked this hotel because it was listed as 4* and it was not too far from Cefalu where the hotels were alittle more expensive. Upon arriving to the town of Castel di Tusa you can see immediately that you are in the middle of nowhere and there is no escaping!! I... more

This hotel is a one star hostel. The rooms are designed by artists but not for staying there. There is no minibar, no TV, no chair, simple nothing to put your things or cloths on. The bed is a nightmare and the train is passing by, every hour even at night. It is much too expensive - 140 Euro- per... more

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in July 2007. I was going to write a review as soon as I got back to London cos I wanted to let people know the truth of this hotel. It seems that all the reviews which are posted recently are good but I don't trust those reviews. I agree that the... more

We spent two days at the Art hotel on the way to Taormina and found Tusa to be an enchanting and friendly place. The staff at the hotel are all so friendly and nothing is a trouble to them. The rooms are beautfully decorated, even the basic rooms are individual. The village of Tusa is quiet but has plenty of... more

Just got back from a two week stay here and would love to go back. You may not be able to afford the higher price for one of the 14 out 40 'art' rooms, but even the economy and standard rooms have a real artistic flavour to them with paintings, photographs and other objects adorning each room (a dolphin emerging... more

This hotel pretends , just pretends... under a poor try to be cool and pop and all surrended by this art label it is just a bad , noisy, not clean and very poor maintened hotel. Great location that's true but having a bar/pub below your room with music all night does not help to relax and appreciate it. Our... more

We accidentally stumbled upon this hotel while exploring the northern coast of Sicily. The hotel is located in the small town of Castel de Tusa, which is about a 15-minute drive away from Cefalu. We were there during off-season, meaning that the whole little town was very quiet. When we arrived, the person at the reception desk gave us our... more
