Acireale Hotel Guide - Timpa Natural Reserve 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."

"An amazing and relaxing stay with exquisite meals, elegant surroundings, and rejuvenating massages."

"The suite was exceptional, and extremely clean. The breakfast is the best we have had in two weeks of touring Sicily. The people who run it are very accommodating. Can't say enough good things about it. We even stayed an extra night."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Santa Tecla Palace. The facilities were excellent - beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, just like the photos. Plenty of sunbeds to relax in. Easy access to swim in the sea from the hotel, with lifeguards on duty. Delicious food at all the restaurants. There isn't much to do in the immediate surrounding area - we walked into the nearest town one evening but we decided that the bars and restaurants on offer at the hotel were much nicer. This was perfect for us as we had intended our short trip to be a relaxing one based in the hotel, but for anyone hoping to explore Sicily a bit more I'd recommend renting a car, as taxis can be expensive.

"We stayed at this beautiful villa in Sicily as a group of 10 and had the most wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, Maria and Enrico were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and kind hosts. You can truly feel that the villa was once their family home – it’s been built and maintained with so much care and love, which gives it a really special atmosphere.The villa itself is perfect – spacious, comfortable, and full of charm. The pool is stunning, the gardens are expansive with breathtaking views, and we loved spending time dining outdoors. There was plenty of room for all of us to relax and enjoy ourselves.Its location is also ideal – close to Etna and other great spots, making it a brilliant base for exploring this part of Sicily.We had a truly special and memorable stay and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Thank you Maria and Enrico for sharing your beautiful home with us!"
