This is a family friendly hotel. The swimming pool is a gimmick, more for kids than adults. I found the pictures misleading then.

A charming hotel overlooking the beach - although there's a small petrol station in between and some traffic noise at night. Very friendly staff, although communication between reception and the kitchen wasn't always efficient. One got the impression that there wasn't a strong manager ensuring everything was co-ordinated properly. Some fabulous dishes on the menu and some lovely wines, and their rooftop restaurant is a delightful spot. Overall, well worth considering if visiting Siracusa and you want to stay outside of the city. (The bus stop to the centre is just round the corner.)

Pros - near the beach Cons- unhelpful staff, poor bathroom size, main road outside Hotel exit, shared terraces with shared smoke, no restaurant as chef 'ill' and no replacement available, parking at hotel difficult ( staff use it). We would not return, especially as European safety standards do not appear to be in place, eg fire escapes, handrails on stairs.

A nice little hotel, staff very friendly receptionist spoke good English and was helpful in advice for beaches and a visit to Noto. A nice little restaurant in the hotel although it was very quiet, the price was very reasonable and the food good, the waiter was excellent.

Lovely little hotel overlooking the sea with beautiful garden Rooftop breakfast. Small hotel and very cute in fabulous location

We were quite happy with our stay at the Villa Mediterreanea. The gardens are lovely, the pool a delight, and the rooms were quite nice. In general the staff was very pleasant, in particular the waiter at breakfast and in the restaurant. I found there was always a bit of a musty smell in our room, but I know this is hard to avoid on the main floor by the sea, though better ventilation might help. In my case, I found the shower was hard to stand in because of small ridges in the shower floor, as I have very sensitive feet and knee and ankle issues at the moment. Some type of bath mat or even a small seat to sit on could have helped. Otherwise the shower was lovely.

Good friendly hotel, helpful staff, reasonable restaurant, well located for beach and for sight seeing in SE Sicily including Etna.

Nice hotel in a small seaside town, with a small outdoor (unheated) pool and easy access to a beach. Also a good base for a number of half day/day trips (Noto, Ispica, Syracuse).

We stayed in this hotel for two weeks, touring from here to places in the area like Noto, Etna, Toarmina, Enna, Regusa, Modica etc. and had just a brilliant time. The location is like a green oasis with a lovely pool, and relaxing environment. The staff were so so friendly and always very helpful and made our time there very special. I don't think you could choose a better place to stay in the area from what we saw. The buffet style breakfast had plenty of variety and the location was simply beautiful and very well maintained. The lovely garden leads down to an exit which gives you direct assess to the beach, and the hotel had sunbeds and umbrellas that you use on the beach on request. We alternated between a day away touring and then a day of rest around the hotel or beach, and it was a perfect base for this. The hotel gives complimentary WiFi although this is only available in the reception area, but does however stretch to the sun loungers, so was very useful. The hotel does offer an evening meal which if you are budgeting would cost for 2 approx 70-90 euros 2012 with wine, but we found a local restaurant called Scirocco linked to the hotel Noto Marina round the corner that did local wine for 5 euros (.5ltr# - stick to white I would, salads from 4 euros #very good portions) and pizzas from 5 euros both of which were excellent; there were also a couple of local markets where you could sample local food. All in all HIGHLY recommended and you won't regret booking this hotel!

Good location, very quiet(it was May), staff was very nice and helpful, great breakfast. BUT, get directions from the hotel itself, not hotel.com. We got lost on our way to the hotel the day we arrived.

This hotel is very well mainainted and simply, but very stylishly designed. All rooms open onto communal terraces which actually feel more like private balconies with plenty of space between the rooms. The swimming pool area and garden are very clean and nicely kept with great access to the beach and main sea front street. The breakfast room is lovely and the coffee is great! The hotel is walking distance to at least two nice restaurants and the beach is wide, clean and the water clear. We will be going back!

The resepsjon was closed when we arrived, but everything went smooth

Accueil sympathique et chaleureux . Légèrement bruyant mais à cause de certains voyageurs . Idéalement situé , près de la mer . Piscine et jardin très agréable

everything was great. One of my best vacations. Good location, good service, friendly staff, good food, very clean. Thank you Marzia, Leonardo and Luigi. Highly recommended.

Posto molto piacevole, l'unica piccola pecca è la presenza delle zanzare nel giardino, ma posto comunque bellissimo

Die Unterkunft liegt durch eine Straße getrennt am Strand. Die Zimmer sind einfach aber schön gestaltet. Das Badezimmer ist klein aber die Dusche ist klasse. Das Frühstücksbüffet ist umfangreich und man kann süß und herzhaft das Frühstück auf der Terrasse einnehmen.

La vicinanza dal mare,la pulizia e disponibilità del personale

Familiäres Hotel in bester Lage. Nur durch den Garten und über die Straße zum Strand.

Camera essenziale, accoglienza e servizi buoni. Ottima colazione. La struttura ha uno splendido giardino e facile accesso ad una splendida spiaggia dorata
