Grand Hotel Faraglioni

Bardzo dobry hotel

After waiting 45 minutes at Mythos cafe which is next to the location of Faraglioni Hotel and where we did not get a chance even to taste our drinks in this time, it took also 45 minutes on the terrace of the hotel Faraglioni to order, drink and eat. Great service, very attentive staff. Thank you!🙏🏻 You saved our day!😁

One of t he most welcoming hotels we have stayed in - visited for a family christening - staff were amazing - fantastic room with an out of this world sea view - coffee and pastries on gone Mormon and wine and savouries in tbe evening were exceptional l- so friendly stayed for 4 days and felt like home - couldn’t recomend highly enough a4***** doesn’t do it justice - can’t wait to come back - stay here in a sea view room - you won’t be disappointed

We were delighted with the quality, comfort and service within the hotel, clearly the most prestigious in the area. The only downside was the closing of the sun terrace due to the fact it was the end of the season. Beyond this the hotel and restaurant were great, breakfast choices were very good. We ate at the restaurant one evening having a most excellent tasting menu.

First time visiting Sicily and the hotel reception/reservations for very nice in preparing my room for an early check-in and hotel/airport transfers. Unfortunately, after specifically asking for a quiet room, they gave me a nice room, but over a very loud bar that plays loud music until 12 in the morning. Being very tired my first day, unable to take a nap and the 3 nights, impossible to go to sleep before 12:30 in the morning making it difficult to get up at 6:30 am to go on excursions, too tired to really enjoy. The reception called the bar to lower the music and they just put it louder. There were only 4 people in the bar and they still played the music extremely loud. Another misinformation is reception specified that it would be about 20 minutes and €30 for a taxi each way to Catania, which wasn't the case. The morning transfer could take over an hour because of traffic and cost up to €70, so I spent a lot more money on taxis than expected. There was also a lot of mold on the shower doors, holes in the towels and marks on the walls/curtains. I didn't eat at the restaurant because I didn't really like the touristy menu and the restaurants up the street. 5 minute walk, were really good and less expensive (fresh fish, catch of the day). Overall nice hotel, but maybe for a night on the way to somewhere, not a long term stay in you need to go to Catania for excursions, most companies won't pick up at the hotel (didn't know that either). Parking is also an issue, reason for not renting a car. Otherwise, great time visiting Sicily!

Hotel has a wonderful view and is close to a lot of good restaurants, excellent location, the room is very spacious and comfortable I do recommend!!!
