“A pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Since we only needed one night in Pozzallo before catching the morning ferry to Malta, we thought we would economize and take advantage of Mare Nostrum's very generous rates. And we are so glad we did! Enrico is a wonderful and charming host, the bed was comfortable and the continental breakfast certainly adequate for our needs. All the reviewers who emphasize the good value have it just right, in my opinion. There is a large free public parking lot a block away, right on the ocean. I would suggest asking for a room away from the street; we had one and didn't hear a sound. For what you pay, you get a grand bargain.

“Good Value Overnight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We arrived on the Catamaran from Malta at about 9.00 pm. We had eaten (rather awful food) on the ferry, so just required an overnight to crash out before departing by car to Catania the next morning. We parked on the road outside without difficulty.

We were greeted by a smiling and helpful gentleman, who helped us with our luggage to our room. He spoke only Italian, but that was not an issue. The room was basic, but quite large. It was clean, and they even provided toiletries. The bath towels were larger than the Hotel Juliani in Malta could offer! The bed was not the most comfortable, and there was noise from the street below.

However, it served its purpose well. We were hoping for an early breakfast, so headed downstairs at 7.15am, to find it started at 7.30am. The same gentleman was again very helpful, providing coffee while he waited for the fresh bread rolls to arrive. We were on our way shortly after 7.30am.

This establishment earns a 4 star rating from me because the price was very reasonable and nothing was too much of a problem. Good overnight stop.

“an excellent stay at Mare Nostrum”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

I decided to go for a short stay at Pozzallo together with my family.I stayed at Mare Nostrun very near to the sea.It was a wonderful holiday helped by the generous Signor Franco and together with his son Enrico.I recommend the hotel as it is very clean and central.
He assisted us for a good drive to the vicinity of Pozzallo such as Modica,Raguza,Caltagirone,Piazza Armerina and others with a very reasonable price,
I will have more stays for sure in the future in his hotels.

“Truly a great place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

Fantasic atmosphere, great located in the middle of the city-centre. Very easy to park the car and the most caring director of them all, Mr Caruso. Very helpfull!! It´s easy to park for free close to the hotel. and the hotel is located very, very close to swimming-opportunities so you really don´t miss a pool. The ocean is litterally 30 sec away. We´re definetey staying here when we´re in Pozzallo next time.
