Hotel Bintang 5 di Sicily, Italia

Overlooking the Ionian Sea, the Grand Hotel San Pietro is a beautiful hotel with landscaped gardens and excellent amenities. The staff are extremely courteous and helpful and the rooms are well appointed and very comfortable.  Located within a 10-15 minute walk of the shopping and sightseeing area of Taormina, makes this 5 Star hotel an excellent choice.  The staff, as mentioned, are very courteous and helpful - and it is quite easy to become friends with them. Infact, Christian and Loretta (who work in the bar area during the evenings) are 2 staff members that I highly commend - not only for their service but for the exceptional time we spent with them.  This hotel is highly recommended and I certainly look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

The hotel is really nicely located with a view to Mount Etna, also with an outside swimming pool area. Rooms were spacious and absolutely clean. Service at reception was excellent while bar and restaurant service could be sometimes a little bit faster and more professional. What we did not appreciate: We followed an invitation of the hotel restaurant for a full Saturday night dinner menu, which should be accompanied by a live saxophonist. But when the saxophonist did not appear we were informed they copied the invitation just from two weeks ago. At least we would have expected some sort of professional apologies and set-off because we wouldn´t have stayed for dinner if we had known in advance. Photo: from swimming pool area to Mount Etna

Lovely hotel with a really relaxed atmosphere. Our room was 2nd floor overlooking the pool. Very comfortable and lovely view but the bathroom is not 5 star. Strange arrangement with the shower and toilet. Notwithstanding that the bathroom amenities were a lovely Sicilian brand. Location is 25min walk into town, not for those who struggle with walking but we enjoyed it. The hotel never felt busy and there’s lots of different places to relax and enjoy the weather with great facilities. Staff are super friendly too.

Great, historical hotel in a nice location. Hotel clearly needs maintenance. The door of our restaurant couldn’t be closed so very unpleasant. Breakfast was good, although preferred to have more savory options. We requested a room on the higher floors but got one which was on the first floor and quite noisy. Still, probably this is the best hotel in Palermo, but there’s room to really improve things for the guests.
