I can say only positive things about the Oriente. I start from the excellent quality/price ratio. We were looking for a place from where to explore the islands. We didn't care about having a private beach or a sea-view room, because we expected to be back at the hotel just for sleeping. Therefore, the Oriente was perfect for us. It... more

This hotel is truly unique, the owner has filled the place (particularly the public areas) with antique Italian iron tools / other antiques etc. The breakfast room is a very welcoming space, with an old fashioned bar and a collection of books in various European languages. The garden is excellent, lots of shade from trees and lots of individual tables,... more

Very much enjoyed my stay here. The public rooms are a bit like a museum of Sicilian agriculture, full of farm implements and curios pinned to the walls. Breakfast enormous (most of the other guests were going volcano trekking so they needed it - I just stuffed myself and headed for the beach up the road). Was slightly disconcerted to... more

We stayed here on recommendation of other travellers and were not disappointed. We had a garden room with a private terrace but there were plenty of seating in the garden area. The rooms were a good size and included a safe and fridge. Bathroom good by Sicilian standards. Breakfast was exceptional by far the best we had in Sicily. The... more

Booked through Venere based on reviews here. Had a lovely, sadly short, stay of 1 night - will definitely come back! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful - we were picked up from the port, and when mentioning on the way we'd like to take a boat excursion to Stromboli that evening were informed that since it's the low season... more

We chose the Oriente based on the Tripadvisor reviews, and as always, we weren't disappointed. I liked its location very much: Not too far away from the harbour, not too far away from the main sights either. The Oriente sports several buildings in a lush garden, some of them obviously rented for longer periods. (This at least we deducted from... more

My wife and I spent 6 nights there in August, and loved it. The room was nothing special, but fine for our needs. It's very well located, close to the action. What really stood out was the service - really helpful, friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice and very nice indeed. The decor of the place is... more

This hotel really is a gem. The staff are warm and friendly, the large courtyard garden is wonderful, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is a highlight - it far surpassed any other hotel breakfast I had in Italy. All in all very good value for money. more

I should keep this gem to myself!. We have stayed here two years in a row...and will definitely return. The staff are wonderful and willing to help with any requests.(English not a problem).The owner is a collector of local artifacts and the place is loaded with antiques (like a museum)! The rooms are a good size, clean and modern with... more
