This hotel is interesting. One the one hand the owners have invested in modern high styling and touches that create an attractive ambiance. However, many of the design elements are annoying, and in fact almost confounding. I want to point out a few of the annoyances in hopes the hotel will remedy them over time. There are many good points... More

This is a contemporary hotel, and Italian contemporary design can sometimes by a little kitsch, but Romano House has done well. The rooms are large, the bed is huge, the bathroom is well designed, the towels are soft and you have a mix of low lighting and natural daylight..no problems for me. Maybe only the fact that the hotel entry... More

If you love the pictures of this seemingly aesthetic pleasing hotel, you'll fall for the same trap we did. It's all appearances and a lot of headache to stay at Romano house. I wouldn't bother to review the hotel if my arm wasn't still bruised from the horrible breakfast chair they have. Everything is minimalistic, not just the style but... More

Beautiful modern architecture and design. We stayed for 4 nights in a superior room.at the front - really clean and well-appointed. Very close to walk to the main streets and sights and there are nearby banks plus small local shops and take-aways useful for water,snacks etc. The view from the front windows is of rather run-down apartments but we preferred...

We had planned to stay for 3 days over the Christmas Holiday then move on but the room and service was great we extended our stay for 3 more days. We booked a superior room which was roomy. The lighting was a little dim for reading. Breakfast was included they had cereals, sweets, fruit, yogurt. The parking was in the... More

We stayed in this hotel at first for three nights as a part of Romantic weekend deal. It was including superior room and dinner in El Riccio restaurant. I was celebrating my birthday that weekend so it was great way to treat myself with a weekend in the sun. The dinner in El Riccio was very enjoyable the only comment... More

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 5 nights in total, 3 nights in a beginning of our Sicily trip and for two nights later when we choose to rearrange our hotel bookings to return to Romano house again. The room we stayed was a superior room, which was very spacious and comfortable with a modern and tasteful design. We... More

We stayed there twice during our four-star hotel fly-drive tour of Sicily, and both times it was a lovely experience. Where shall I start? Probably with the interior - a win-win combination of historical and contemporary, a perfect balance in renovation. Tasteful, luxurious, minimalist, but with the quiet emphasis of the quality materials, space and proportion, well thought and harmonious... More
