Acireale Hotel Guide - Pista Santa Venera hotels in Acireale, Italy.

"The hotel is situated at a convenient and central location for Acireale. There is everything you might need nearby and a pretty little park just across the street. The room was clean and well made, the bed was comfortable and I appreciated having an empty minibar fridge. The one thing I am unhappy with is the lack of availability in the hotel's parking. I booked three rooms at this hotel because we were 6 people due to arrive in 2 cars and parking was important to us. The amenities of the hotel listed free parking before I booked. Low and behold, we arrived late in the evening only to be told by hotel staff that the parking had to be prearranged and that I should have had to warn them in advance I needed parking because they only had 10 spaces which were all occupied at the time of our arrival. Nowhere during or after the booking process was I warned of having to warn the hotel about needing parking, nor did it cross my mind considering it listed parking as free. I had even read other people's reviews who were all happy about the parking and no word of warning was uttered. I checked my bookng email confirmation and, again, I found nothing to this effect. I found this a dishonest practice and I would recommend you get in touch with the hotel to secure parking beforehand as it does mean you have to roam the streets to find a free or paid parking space."

"Beautiful property, great location to Etna, wineries and Taormina. "

"Beautiful place, great service. Plan you transportation ahead of time. "

"Room clean, actually had the choice of two rooms once we arrived. Parking is right outside the gate, access is simple. Gisella and Orazio were great hosts and explained everything very well."

"A lovely family property with a beautiful garden and pool. Mount Etna is an ever-present tour de force and offers a fabulous backdrop to chilling in the garden and pool.Several lovely restaurants in comfortable walking distance, and Nadia was a real joy as the host. We'd come again like a shot."

"Amazing stay in this dreamlike castle. Liliana was very helpful. Off the beaten path spot, we were the only foreigners in town. Close to major spots. Only suggestion would be new towels but highly recommend staying here."

"Home was beautiful. Antonio was very accommodating as we arrived very late due to our flight being diverted."

"The Villa is a good base with easy access to Catannia Airport and Taorrmninan . Perfect for a Family of mixed ages and airconditioned bedrooms essential for the summer . Good size for a group of mixed ages. Having a car definitily a recommendation inorder to explore the island and residents. However The local village does offer plentiful supplies for self catering / pharmacy and baby provisions. Marcia was an excellent guide and able to provide cleaning support and Cook for special dinners"
