Hotels near Giardino del Balio

"Great location, beautiful park across the street and the sea one block away. Breakfast that was included was lovely with a wide selection of choices. The staff was friendly and professional. My only complaint: We were in Room 103 - a corner room, which had a very bad sewer smell coming up through the pipes in the bathroom. We were told that it was because it was a very old building and that running the water would help to alleviate the smell - but it persisted. And since we were on the first floor in a very busy neighborhood - we could not open the windows at night because it was very loud. Otherwise...a lovely stay."

"Everything was perfect "

"The Owner was very friendly and accommodating. The appartament was clean and average for Sicily. We only stayed one night so didnt used the kitchen. The place may be ok in the summertime but definitely not a place to stay in winter as the one reverse air-conditioning unit did not heat the apartment at all and we had to leave it on all night to get some warmth. "

"The hotel, staff, breakfast, bathroom and bedroom were all very good. The poor rating is because it's impossible to get a decent sleep! The stairs up to my room and a cluster of other rooms are made of wood, so when one group of guests came home at 1:05am, I'm woken up just by their footsteps clomping and echoing on the wooden stairs. Then at 3:41am, a family leaves early for the airport, so I'm re-awoken, again by the stairs. No one was rude or yelling or drunk. The design makes it inevitable that anyone walking up or down these stairs will wake the people in those 4 rooms. And ironically I had specifically asked for the "quietest room possible" as I'm no partier. The fact they haven't fixed this terrible design and didn't bother to find me a better room given my request is very disappointing. "

"Rooms are pretty simple but comfortable and clean. The included breakfast was delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful."

"Nice room, very nice town. The location of the hotel is very good. Hosts were very nice and informative "

"Functional, dated with limited services in October. TV is not smart for example. Adequate for 1 night."

"The pool is wonderful, with a beautiful view and access to a small private beach, which is small but very charming. Breakfast is varied and good. The hotel has great potential due to its location and structure. However, it lacks management and attention to detail. Upon arrival, we entered through a large gate leading to a courtyard with several doors, but there were no signs indicating where the reception or parking was located, nor were there staff available to welcome or guide guests. Signage inside the hotel is also poor, and even finding the main restaurant was difficult. The service is very basic, with no warmth or friendliness, which does not match the standards expected of a resort. Our room was on the second floor, accessible only by a narrow and steep external staircase, which was very inconvenient with heavy luggage. At the pool, although the area is pleasant, there were no towels available, and we had to walk all the way to the reception, which was far away, to get them. On one morning, the music was excessively loud and not appropriate for a relaxing atmosphere. In addition, the pool bathrooms had plastic structures, including the walls, which felt makeshift and not up to resort standards. Overall, this hotel has great potential, but it clearly lacks professional management and attention to detail to truly match the level expected of a resort."

"Fabulous! My experience was excellent. The breakfast was amazing. I highly recommended this hotel."
