Reviews
Pilates by Sébastieno was great too. Great exercises, good tempo, a great way to start the day. Very much enjoyed & recommended.
Also had a massage booked which was one of the best ones I have ever had.
The restaurants were very poor: slow service, consistently rude staff, and the worst food we had in Italy. When we raised concerns, there was no real effort to resolve them, only dismissive responses. After we posted negative reviews, management left a note under our door late at night asking to talk, which felt intrusive. At the front desk, we were offered to return to the restaurant at our own expense, and only after laughing at this they offered a free dessert. After such an experience, we were not willing to spend another €100+. The only genuinely kind service we encountered was Giulia at the pool restaurant. Management’s responses online telling guests to “be respectful to my staff” feel misplaced given how guests are treated at the hotel.
Breakfast was chaotic and poorly managed. After 09:30, tables were dirty or unavailable, and clean cutlery, glasses, and napkins were often missing. We sat at dirty tables for several days. Other Autograph hotels manage this far better. The barista was overwhelmed and occasionally rude, but clearly understaffed.
Our room had a leaking shower and a significant ant problem in the bathroom, making it feel unclean.
While the beach terrace and property are stunning, we both agreed halfway through the stay that we would leave for another hotel if refunded. For an Autograph property at this price, this level of management is unacceptable. We will not return.
Staff very friendly & great dining options.
Very peaceful resort with lovely views of Etna from the sea shore.
It was empty so we managed to get to use the amenities, not sure during a busy period
