    At 4am on Sundays there is a show where people at the Concordia Temple sing until dawn which woke us up and we couldn’t get back to sleep. The barbecue on Saturday was delicious but we had to leave half of our food as it was way to much.

    Truly an amazing location, right in from of the Concordia Temple with direct access from the hotel. It is a very secluded hotel with incredible facilities like the pool, the gym…

    We were not offered a drink on arrival. I was honestly incredibly shocked by this. Surely standard for a hotel of this quality? We were offered this at lower standard hotels during our tour around Sicily. Most of the staff were not friendly. They were efficient and service was generally good but they were not welcoming and no friendly conversation was offered. This was disappointing. The complementary wine in my room was red. I asked reception 3 times to swap it for a white as I don't drink red. It never was replaced. Twice I was served meat in my meals despite ordering vegetarian. Once at lunch in a toastie and once in an omelet. This is poor. The wine at lunch was taken off the bill which was appreciated but the fact that this happened twice is shocking, clearly there is an issue there. Service at dinner was high end but it appeared they were understaffed, it was very difficult to get their attention. Overall the disappointing, less than 5 star service let this wonderful hotel down.

    Well the view is stunning. Every do often you look up, see the temple and it simply takes your breath away every time. Very special. The deluxe room was very highly appointed. Complimentary bottle of wine in the room. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was fabulous. A tiered selection of pastries and cakes brought to your table and breakfast cooked to order. Lovely swimming pool, complimentary ice cream offered occasionally, a very nice touch. Restaurant of Michelin star quality and live piano.

    There was nothing we did not like.

    The location is simply perfect with views of the temples from the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay truly enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful pool area. Our spacious, clean room was equipped with everything we needed, and they even left us some delicious treats made by the chef. The food in both restaurants is delicious. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful hotel.

    We were upgraded on arrival to a beautiful room looking directly out over the temples, simply stunning. Our room was really beautiful and spacious, and the staff so helpful. Pool was a great warm temperature, quite a change after experiencing many cool pools in Sicily! Finally the restaurant, Terrace of the Gods - we had 'front row' seats looking directly onto the temples and the food was outstanding!

    In room 109 you could hear them setting up breakfast and calling to one another from very early in the morning. However, the view we had from our terrace made up for this

    We loved the attention to detail with everything from the rooms, breakfast, pool and terraces

    Breakfast we were hounded by wasps every day, they were such a nuisance for all the guests that they should try some methods to control them.

    Loved the location, the room and staff were amazing and the view was absolutely amazing. A lovely chilled nice relaxed hotel.
