My check-in was very easy, my room was clean and ready, I was provided with two complementary bottles of water, the property is in a very good location with excellent views of the sunrise as well as Mount Etna. During my vacation in Sicily, I stayed at six different properties and by far, this breakfast buffet was the best.
