Nightmare stay with zero windows

This place was a total letdown! My husband got stuck in a tiny room with no windows. Really? The staff didn't seem to care, and we never heard back from them about the extra charges. Breakfast was decent, but c'mon, a room without sunlight? Pass on this one!

Highly recommend it for solo travelers

The staff were unbelievably kind, went out of their way to. One morning, I needed to leave before breakfast started, and they prepped a nice little bag with fruits and a muffin just for me-really touched me.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but you know what? You get what you pay for.

Had an amazing group trip! The owners were super friendly and provided us with ice for our sore feet after cycling all day. We loved the fresh breakfast and comfy beds. The location is perfect for exploring. Definitely a great spot for friends to gather and relax!

included breakfast

typical sicilian products

stale croissant

poor plug socket placement

lack of window

Booked this place expecting a full breakfast but was disappointed with a stale croissant, a slice of toast, and a cold boiled egg. Room 14 felt less like a bedroom and more like a converted bathroom-no window and poor plug socket placement made it inconvenient. Carrying luggage up the stairs was another downside.
