Al Gabbiano

Lo stato della struttura, la pulizia delle stanze e degli spazi comuni non valgono la spesa sostenuta. In compenso, sia il proprierario che i ragazzi presenti per la colazione e in spiaggia sono stati molto gentili e disponibili.

Great staff, clean, everything is a walking distance!

The beach is fantastic for young children - our 5 year old granddaughter did not want to leave it. The hotel is clean. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017 - and shows its age in parts. We were disappointed with the breakfast, but we were (just) out of season.

We enjoyed our stay at the friendly beach hotel in the small fishing town of Scoglitti. Our room had a balcony overlooking the sea and fishing port. (The beach on the other side of the port is much larger but not protected by large stones to break the waves.) The room was clean and had a frig and safe. The bathroom was ok but would be better if there was a light over the mirror instead of to the side and if the shower was larger. The staff was very helpful with explaining how to use the air conditioning and making us cappuccinos and espressos for breakfast. Breakfast is served in the dining area that has larger glass windows overlooking the sea; a beautiful way to start your day!

We were greeted warmly upon arrival and quickly shown to our room. The hotel is very clean and decorated nicely in the lobby. In addition to stairways to various rooms, there was an easy walking ramp up to the upper floors which I found very convenient. The room had good air conditioning which we used a LOT since it can be very warm in Sicily even in the fall. Our room had a balcony overlooking the sea which was lovely. The hotel has its own beach in front, and the breakwater creates little crescent beach areas with calmer waters. Peak season had passed so there were few people using the beach, which was nice! The ristorante in the hotel faces the sea, with large windows usually open to catch the breeze. The free breakfast buffet was fine, with strong coffee (I always had Caffe Americano), fruit juices, cold cuts, cheeses, toast and spreads, fresh fruits, yogurt, cereals and ice cold granita for a "dessert". Their dinner menu was affordable and very tasty, with the nicest, freshest local produce, seafood and meats. The employees were all very friendly and helpful, and even the cleaning staff wished us " buon giorno" every day. Someone was always available to help, even at 1am on a late day for us, and at 3 am on our early day of departure. All in all, a very satisfying, lovely experience. We saw several businessmen also staying there - they knew to choose this hotel!
