Hotels near Church of Candelora

"This is the most beautiful hotel I have stayed at in the world. I look forward to coming back again as soon as I can. The setting is breathtaking, the renovated content is beautiful and the staff are lovely."

"Terrific room. they upgraded us as soon as we arrived out of the blue. Location is perfect. Parking: don't overthink it. there is one parking garage South of the city and one North. just park at the Porta de Catania parking garage and walk the six minutes to this hotel."

"Très propre. La nourriture est bonne au buffet du dejeuner et excellente au restaurant à la carte en soirée avec une très belle vue. Air conditionné ne fonctionnait pas, mais sont venus réparer. Très satisfaite du service. Location est excellente. "

"Hotel Sonia is set in a stunning setting clinging to the side of a mountain overlooking Mt Etna. She is beautiful but in need of an update and more care around the property. It is clean, the staff helpful and courteous, the rooms ok, breakfast is great, bar service ok, and the village it is in is definitely worth the detour."

"The staff were accommodating and friendly, from the valet, front desk, Concierge (Daniele) to the resident piano player (Carmello). The room was large and had an amazing sea view. We would definitely return."

"Loved everything! Property, rooms, view, bar and entertainment, restaurants and the amazing staff! Thank you!"

"I really wanted to give this hotel 5 star, but I simply can’t! The majority of the hotel is perfection and it was an absolute luxury having three days there… the pool itself is a wonder with the view to mount Etna, and so is the restaurant next door to the pool which overlooks the water. One issue was the rooms. We were give a nice room but the electricity didn’t work. An electrician came and after 20 mins of waiting, it was back on. But then it broke again the next day and we were once again waiting for an electrician to come for c.30 mins. This delayed our evening plans. They decided to move us to another room - but it was smaller! They the moved us again to one of their newly refurbished rooms which although really lovely, the air-con didn’t work. I gave up trying by that point as we had to leave anyway. The inside of the hotel is quite dated and when we arrived we really weren’t sure what we were in for, but the pool is the attraction and rightly so. Another reason why I can’t give 5 star is because of the shuttle buses. Although its great that the hotel provides free shuttle buses to and from the town, they are not frequent and book up really quickly. If you miss out, you need to pay for a taxi to the town which is around 20 euro one way. More shuttles are needed. "

"We had a challenging start. The entire beach was under construction due to a cyclone in January. We had no idea about this prior to our stay. When we arrived we had no hot water and it was only turned on the next day. The hot tub was not filled up initially and was not ready to go. Having said that, the apartment was fantastic for us. We were able to access the beach from some ramps made by the construction machines. The hostess was wonderful and very welcoming. She gave great advice for local activities and had several local delicacies waiting for us in the apartment. She was also very responsive to any of our requests. We had a lovely stay despite the rainy and cool weather. "

"Location, funicular was excellent."
