Hotels in Gioiosa Marea

Still in the hotel as I write this. 😐 It is the last week of September and contrary to the hotels reply to the previous review there is NO entertainment, despite it being a Friday night. We were supposed to stay from last Monday night, 22nd September, but instead we had to book a room in Palermo as the hotel is so far away from the airport and there was a train strike so we missed the last train to...

A nice hotel- clean, modern and friendly. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and views. BUT isolated. 2 1/2 hrs from Catania airport (read more about transfers below) and half way up steep, rocky hillside. Roads are steep and winding with lots of u-bends.

The " buffet" is very limited on their hot/cold food....

They accomodated...
