Petralia Holidays

We were so disappointed when learning that the hotel is located more than 3 miles from the seaside. On their advertisement, there are some pictures showing the beach and swimming pool. Fake images and incorrect description !!! We were obliged to stay as they refused to reimburse and it was too late in the evening. We want to be reimbursed.

Séjour de quelques jours en famille (5) et nous avons tous été conquis par ce charmant hôtel. Tout le personnel de l’hôtel a été courtois. L’offre pour le petit déjeuner était variée et goûteuse. Le quartier est tranquille, l’accès à la mer direct et le coucher du soleil mémorable. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir!

Beautiful pool. Convenient location. Lovely staff!

Definitely needs refurbishing. Old fashioned keys, no room safe, window security very poor and an en-suite had basin that moved as you touched it. Balcony felt dirty and had another room’s outside light shining all night into my room. Some of the electric lights in my room did not work. The swimming pool was good with an amazing view (but seating area around it had little shade) even if noisey from traffic. Pool bar open until 7pm, but bar downstairs then not open. I thought I had bought breakfast in the price but arrived to be told I had not, which is a problem with Expedia website being unclear. Not really a problem as many very cheap places in Toarmina for breakfast. Terrible 8 minute walk from hotel to cable car (6 euros one way), or 10 minute walk to footpath up to Taormina Centro (45 minutes up vertical steps. I liked the walk but many would not). You have to walk on slight incline on a narrow road with fast traffic and mostly no pavement. Very scary. Don’t take a car as parking is through a narrow gate and up to parallel park. Only way out is to either have backed in or to back out onto fast main road.
