Gioiosa Marea Holidays from NZ$985

It is not a 4 stars hotel. The hot water stopped working and we were informed that the showers had to be very fast or we would have to wait for the heater to heat it up again.

Lovely hotel. Very relaxing. Owned by the same family for 300 years. Had one of the best cocktails here ever. Really impressive experience

Lovely Hotel, with a homely atmosphere. All staff were friendly and helpful. Good Breakfast. Room large with a nice Balcony overlooking the Pool (which unfortunately we didn't have time to use). Would definitely recommend this Hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel, we needed some quiet and relaxation so perfect for us, everything well thought out to meet your every need and very clean, amazing choice at breakfast with hot and cold options, the staff were wonderful, so helpful and friendly we felt right at home. The resort was very quiet with very few restaurants and bars but we were out of season, if the hotel restaurant had been open we would have eaten there but we would definitely return again when travelling through Sicily.

I’ve just spent a week here & it’s a great place, very close to the centre. Constantino, Antonella & Fabrice couldn’t do enough for us guests & were so friendly. Most of the rooms are on the second floor & there isn’t a lift. The stone stairs between the first & second floor are very steep. I was initially on the second floor but after one day was moved to the only guest room on the first floor as I have mobility issues. The staff did this without me even asking, which was so thoughtful. The property is spotlessly clean. On the second floor there is a kitchen which includes an espresso machine. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining area with a microwave. Tables & chairs outside on the balcony really catch the morning sun. I can highly recommend this place. If I can manage the stairs, I’ll definitely stay here again. I was made to feel very welcome & felt very much at home.
