Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
We were on the bottom floor and could hear those above us moving around and water from the flushing of toilets. The tile floors allowed us to hear other groups coming and going especially with their suitcases. No view out side window even though our booking said garden view. Minimal sheet coverings. Due to lack of bathroom venting there is mold in the grout and shower area (a common theme in Italy)

Lovely small hotel right on the port
Hotel is a lovely small establishment on the port. It has recently been renovated in typical Sicilian style. The staff are friendly, informative and efficient. Lovely breakfast which the lady cook prepared with pride every morning. This is just a bed and breakfast hotel where you can also get a drink. It does not do lunches and dinner. However you are right on the port with plenty of options for eating, pleas do note that Hotels.com’s description of this hotel is completely incorrect- they say there bars, a swim up bar, restaurants etc. this is not the case if that is what you are looking for. The photos on the site are however correct! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again.

A charming hotel in a beautiful fishing village. A delicious breakfast is served on a deck right on the marina. Many restaurants with many choices to experience the Sicilian cuisine. Pistachio pasta is a must! Thank you Gabriella for suggesting a drive to San Vito lo Capo. One of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily. Endless white sandy beach with crystal clear water. Don’t miss this !!

We love this village! We were sorry that they did not have more days for us to stay in the hotel.We wouldhave rearranged our trip is they had more days..We loved walking back and forth in the village, all of the restaurants that we tried. in the morning, the arranged for a car to take us to a nearby beach. Again, it was so delightful that we would have rearranged our trip if they had more days for us to enjoy the beach. Thinking of rearranging our trip is very unusual for us.We plan our trips carefully before we leave, but we fell in love with this village and area. Granted, it was after ten days of active touring.We did love Sicily. If we ever go back to Sicily, we would book several days At teh Hotel Cala Marina before we book anything else.

Great position
Great friendly hotel overlooking the harbour. The staff are really helpful and helped us arrange boat hire etc but it was equally possible to do it yourself. If you want to go to the beach they will arrange transport and sun bed hire for 10 Euros but may be more in season Breakfast can be taken over the road on the terrace which was lovely. The rooms are typical of a three star hotel the bathrooms a bit dated but perfectly adequate. Nice variety at breakfast. Ideally situated at the end of the Marina away from noised but still very central for the restaurants and little shops.

Sweet hotel on the harbour with amazing staff
We received the loveliest welcome upon our arrival after a long travel day. Claudia was so helpful and informative. She speaks at least 4 or 5 languages and is totally charming. She helped guide us through parking the car and info on local restaurants etc. She helped carry our (many) bags to the room and left us with a welcome drink. The breakfast was perfect. Again - the service was outstanding. Our room was spacious and very clean. We had a sweet little balcony with a view of the harbour. The air conditioning worked well and the room was quiet. The bed was slightly firm for our preferences, but we still had an excellent sleep.

Nice hotel
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice location. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the port. This was very nice during the day but with some drawbacks at night... don't expect to have the windows open at night because there is the smell of fish cooking from the restaurant next door and, whilst the port is sleepy during the week, at weekends there is throbbing music until the early hours of the morning from the bars across the quay which resonates on the water. Parking on wasteland immediately opposite the hotel for free (hotel registers you for ZTL) was a benefit - not worth paying the fee to park on the tiny bit of hotel's own land. All in all highly recommended for a stay during the week - personally would avoid Fri/Sat/Sun (Sunday is when world and his wife descends on the port). Comments about the wonderful breakfasts are overdone...frankly all a bit odd; OK if you like chocolate cake and cold fried eggs.. but again excellently cheerful and friendly staff. Wifi was consistently good. Be aware if you are a bit infirm that it is a fair climb up steps into the main bit of town.
