A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Nice hotel and extremely kind personnel. Delightful breakfast!”
“A small hotel, a short walk from a good stretch of sandy beach with clear water and fine swimming. The rooms are clean and comfortable with good sized balconies (but no furniture - it would be good to have a few chairs and a table to enjoy sitting out) . Rometta Marea is very quiet (in May) so La Lanterna is pretty much the only option for dinner - not a problem as the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The restaurant is popular with local residents and lorry drivers/travellers passing through. The house wine is delicious. The public spaces aren't great - just a few tables on a slightly neglected terrace to have a drink or coffee. Otherwise, a lovely stop over, and good value. Thanks to La Lanterna.”
“Mr Gino and Gaetano did treat us like family, we will never forget our stay at their hotel, this hotel is more than 5 stars, and food at restaurant is top shelf, I will recommend it to all my family and friends, as matter of fact my kids are planning to visit Sicily , I will book this place for them , it located in the best possible location. Thank you”
