This was a well run hotel with wonderful gardens and a lovely pool. The trouble is it's just that bit far out of town to be able to go in for dinner, especially as taxis are a king's ransom and buses have a habit of not turning up. The room was clean and comfortable with a fantastic view of Etna... More

We stayed in the Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & Spa two nights with and Insight Tour visiting Italy and Sicily. It is a very nice hotel only a couple of blocks from the beach (The hotel has a section of beach reserved for guests). The hotel is very clean and has both an indoor spa and outdoor pool.

Room light and airy with restricted view of Etna which is good as just a glorified slag heap better viewed from a distance. Waiters nicer here than in Agrigento. Food institutional but served with a smile. Was a relief to eat outside the hotel on a few occasions. Service in bar could be poor at times and non existent at... More

Stayed here as part of a large tour group and found everything fine. The meals were from a set menu with some choice, the quality was fine and so was the service. Large tables set out for the group were a good idea, people mixed and matched happily at mealtimes. Fantastic pool and outside areas to relax in. A few... More

I visited this hotel as part of the Voyages Jules Verne tour from 5-8 September 2012, and so my experience was different than it might have been as an individual traveller. I want to begin with the cons and end on a high note with the pros. Thus: The cons: 1. Bear in mind that the hotel is a fair... More
