Hotel berhampiran Acireale, Acireale

Modern hotel on the outskirts of Acireale with all things you would expect from an All Accor hotel. Pleasant, helpful staff on arrival got us settled in nicely. Good size room with large bathroom. In fact the bathroom was bigger than our whole room in Singapore!🤣 Room had everything you need for a short stay. WiFi and air con worked well. Good breakfast but watch out for the kitchen staff…..they’ll have your table cleared before you come back from getting another brew! After that, we made sure one of us stayed at the table when the other went for a top up. We only had one small problem with the room which we mentioned to reception staff and that was sorted out before our return later that day, thank you. Be mindful this hotel is out of town and only one restaurant within walking distance (it was shut for 2 weeks when we stayed!) Large shopping complex is right next door, handy for bits and bobs and to stock up the fridge. Enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to book here again.

Basic facts about hotel are true, but description omits to say the pool is small, with only 30 beds fitting comfortably around it. The pool music is aimed at teenagers and completely out of character with the hotel and age profile of its guests. Hotel reception staff unhelpful and rude. Area around hotel is dirty and streets full of litter and unsafe to walk due to traffic. Shuttle to local town is infrequent. 25 minute walk down a very steep road. There is no beach anywhere near, you have to sunbathe on rocks. Food in restaurant very limited if on half board with a choice of only pasta or fish most nights. When asked to upgrade to a room with a balcony it was going to cost £209 more for the week but had to go bed & breakfast not half board, so more money for less meals. Unable to hire a car from the hotel, you have to go to Catania airport to pick up.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We are a family of 6 and had an appar**ent with adjoining bedrooms and small balcony terrace overlooking the swimming pool. The room set up was perfect for us. The hotel is spotlessly clean. There are two swimming pools to enjoy. Convenient free onsite parking. Breakfast in the hotel was really good with lots of variety. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, eg assisting to heat up baby milk for me several times daily and assisting to make small amendments at breakfast to cater for dietary requirements. The roof terrace of this hotel has spectacular views of Etna and the sea… it is available for everyone to go and sit up there We would happily stay at this hotel again. Within walking distance, there is a local pizzeria and within a 5-10 minute drive there are plenty of restaurants at Acitrezza. We also took a taxi to explore Catania which can be arranged for you at reception Overall a wonderful stay. It’s a great choice.

We recently stayed at the Four Points Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The standout feature of the hotel was definitely the stunning sea view from our room! The breakfast was also a highlight of our stay – there was a huge variety of fresh, delicious options available, and I particularly enjoyed the fresh orange juice! We also liked the beautiful art gallery, which was filled with a diverse collection. From the elevator you have a wonderful view of the lobby and the restaurant, which are surrounded by plants. Overall, We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. Thanks for the friendly service and see you again soon! Max & Janet

Sono tornato all’Hotel Malavoglia per un “last minute” con la mia famiglia mercoledì 30 agosto 2023. Ci è stata assegnata una quadrupla ampia , luminosa e confortevole. Materassi di adeguato spessore e capaci di offrire una più che buona qualità del sonno. Biancheria pulita, climatizzazione ed insonorizzazione di ottimo livello. Il bagno dotato di ampia finestra (e non del solito impiantino di aerazione), box doccia super spazioso, vasca da bagno e due lavabi, tutto di ultima generazione. Presente un buon kit per l’igiene personale. La piscina, decisamente bella, è un altro punto forte della struttura. Molto comodi e di qualità “premium” i lettini a bordo piscina, idem i maxi ombrelloni. Presente un bel bar a bordo piscina, che ci ha servito un’ottimo Spritz con salatini. Al costo di 10 euro al giorno è inoltre disponibile un comodo servizio di parcheggio coperto nei sotterranei, con accesso diretto dai locali dell’hotel 👍. Prima colazione molto varia ed abbondante, con presenza di dolce, salato e frutta. Ho particolarmente apprezzato le torte e i biscotti, un po’ meno croissant, donuts e altri prodotti da forno. Mi è piaciuta pure l’anguria, non altrettanto il melone bianco. Sul salato non mi esprimo, non avendo assaggiato nulla. Riguardo al cappuccino, è possibile scegliere tra la macchinetta self service ed il bar attiguo alla sala colazione, con il personale che effettua servizio al tavolo. Consiglio quest’ultima soluzione, anche perché non vi è alcun sovrapprezzo..In un’occasione abbiamo pranzato a bordo piscina con quattro portate di pesce. Prezzo medio intorno ai 15 euro a portata e purtroppo, per quanto speso, risultato non adeguato alle aspettative 😕. Procedendo ad un rapido conteggio, posso dire che in questo periodo, all’Hotel Malavoglia di Acitrezza, la tariffa per persona al giorno, prima colazione e tasse incluse, si aggira intorno ai 50 euro a persona, cui va aggiunta la tassa di soggiorno. Quest’ultima incide per 2 euro a persona al giorno, bimbi piccoli ovviamente esclusi. Giudizio finale: sicuramente tariffe non popolari, ma tutto sommato siamo stati bene e quindi ne è valsa la pena😄👍!!

Hotel in posizione spettacolare con vista sui Faraglioni. Camera pulita e ben tenuta, bagno piccolo ma funzionale. Sembrava appena ristrutturata. Personale cordiale. Colazione ottima con ampia scelta dolce e salta nel bar dell'hotel. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo essendo fuori stagione.

The location was great! It takes you only 15-20 minutes to arrive at the craters of Etna (Crateri Silvestri). The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips for our trips. The wellness area was wonderful too and we spent a lot of time there. The rooms are good and facilities too. We definitively recommend you to stay there!

A large group of us stayed at Wave during a 3-night tour. We used the Wave hotel as our base. The reception staff were organised and welcoming. Our room was clean and fresh. The balcony had clear views of Mount Etna where at night, a slight lava flow from the volcano can be seen. Good Breakfast was served by welcoming and friendly staff and was of good variety and quality. A short walk down to the bay and there are delightful restaurants/cafes and bars. Perfect coffee is available at most places. The hotel is peaceful and well-organised in a good old-fashioned way. Recommended indeed, especially for a base tour hotel. Thank you.
