I stayed at this hotel 3 nights in August 2009, with my husband Style: the hotel is a modern building. The hall’s furniture is exotic and oriental lounge style, there is a big terrace with a marvellous sea view. Hotel facilities: the hotel has a solarium, with a 360° view on the coast, Acireale and the Etna and a nice... more

We had chosen the hotel as a base to visit Taormina and Etna, however, we were a little shocked when we pulled into the Santa Caterina hotel, smack bang inbetween a railway line (15m to the left) and a busy main road (15m to the right). Not exactly what we were expecting and neither was the town. That said the... more

The hotel is located on a hillside that provides a view the town below and the Ionian Sea. Along the property's back, bordering the pool (but landscaped so you don't know it's there) is a railroad track. A passenger or freight train passes infrequently and doesn't detract from the atmosphere of the hotel at all, even when you're dining on... more

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights in April and we enjoyed the Santa Caterina. The staff was very friendly and helpful and speak several languages. The onsite restaurant is absolutely wonderful! Every meal we had was the best in Sicily out of all the restaurants we tried. The locals frequent the restaurant, especially on weekends but usually after... more

The good - the rooms which were clean, spacious; the shower (which speaks!), the Easter bunny chocolate present; the view. The bad - the male recpetionsist was unwelcoming, unsympathetic to my baggage going missing; the restaurant food was bad - avoid it; the location (you need a hire car) and it's not asy to walk around the town or near... more

We stayed 7 nights in this lovely hotel for our honeymoon. The staff were kind, friendly and very helpful and the hotel is very clean and personal. The food was fantastic including a great buffet breakfast. The rooms were well decorated and furnished and the air conditioning was welcome. The beds were firm but we slept well and the pool... more

Having just returned from the Hotel Santa Caterina in Acireale I would like to make the following observations. The hotel is only a year old, very nicely decorated and extremely clean. The bedrooms are a reasonable size, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space with french doors onto a patio with wonderful views of the sea, the air conditioning was extremely... more

Staff very friendly. - Rooms comfortable - good A/C - good bathrooms, good showers - Great pool - Super views from almost every room in the place - Great food, great service.... more

Just returned from a weekend trip to Sicily with my eight year old son. I know the area and searched for a accomodation good to reach by car and not in the city centre of Catania or in expensive Taormina. Acireale is located about 20 minutes from Catania airport, take exit "Acireale" continue to SS114, a right turn towards Catania... more
