First and foremost, a 4-star hotel should have an insulation system. We basically could even hear the room next door opening their luggage.. awful.
Apart from that (which is a big minus), the pool is cool, parking is free, staff friendly, breakfast decent.
Food options are pricey and limited.
The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre and is located in the heart of the city centre. I would like to point out that I was surprised by the kindness and availability of all the staff, no one excluded, which is not expected.
A sumptuous Paradise with undeniable splendor...between sky and earth and the sea for Horizon...all in a cozy atmosphere, where the simple but present comfort allows you to make the most of this charming establishment..the swimming pool is magnificent and the latomies offer a spectacular backdrop..
The staff is discreet and smiling, the breakfast essential and complete..what can I say?
Thank you for this Totally Relaxed stay
Not renovated, but in a very good position. Sufficiently uncomfortable beds, little sound-insonorization heating poorly functioning. The worse side of breakfast with low quality and little assortment.

A very cost-effective hotel with its own underground parking lot (free). Before checking in, park the car at the main entrance of the hotel (you can temporarily park). After getting the room card, you can swipe the room card to lift the pole into the underground parking lot (the entrance and exit are all that), the hotel has a good restaurant, The door (really the door) is the gas station, and the large supermarket is next door.
The room is clean, tidy and spacious, and there is a single bed at the entrance, so it is also suitable for three people to travel and live.
The breakfast is rich and delicious, and the best choice for Modica next time.
The price is very high.
The surrounding environment is beautiful... It is the seaside in 5 minutes.
The hotel is decorated with ocean wind. The overall style is very special. If you go to Sicily to promote this hotel 😁😁
CClaire MLa Chicca Palace Hotel was a wonderful experience!
We loved it from the very first minute that we walked in! 🥰
It has a very playful and colorful ambience and lots of light! We were welcomed super friendly by Giovanna, had a very nice chat, and were helped with the parking that turned out to be quite convenient and almost right in front of the Hotel entrance with the use of an App that Giovanna recommended us to download. Giovanna also gave us a great recommendation for dining which we followed the next day and were very happy with.
Our room was beautiful and super clean as was the bathroom (sorry no pics) and the view from the balcony was as you can see on picture #2 & 3.
The tree on the left was fantastic! 🌳
And on the left side behind the tree there was a Café that had the best coffee granita we had during our stay on Sicily! 😋
We spent two nights at La Chicca. The breakfast place was super stylish - you can see on the picture, and the breakfast itself was simple, yet very typical for a Sicilian breakfast and completely satisfying. Definitely made us happy as well! I like it when there are fruits and eggs and yoghurt as well ...
After the first night, we took the ferry to Lipari, one of the Eolian Islands. It was an amazing day! In the evening, after a delicious dinner at Ristorante Panzakina - Giovanna's recommendation - we returned to the hotel, had a fun and long evening chat with lovely Giovanna, and were invited to have a Grappa together ... A perfect day! Actually, two perfect days at La Chicca in Milazzo on Sicily! ❤️
We are quite positive that we will return ...
SshittalkerExcellent Stay with Great Location and Stunning Views
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic—just a 16-minute walk from the train station and about 15-20 minutes on foot to the island’s main attractions.
The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean, with the added bonus of being close to the sea. It even had two balconies, allowing us to enjoy the lovely views and fresh air.
What made our stay even better was the friendly and helpful staff. They were always welcoming and went out of their way to assist us whenever needed.
Here’s an updated version of your review that includes the negative aspects while maintaining a balanced and professional tone:

**Great Location & Beautiful Room, but Noise Can Be an Issue**
I had a mostly pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—just a **16-minute walk from the train station** and **15-20 minutes to the island’s main attractions**.
The room itself was **spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated**, with the added benefit of being **close to the sea** and featuring **two balconies**. The staff were also **very friendly and helpful**, which enhanced our experience.
However, there was one major downside: the walls are extremely thin. We could easily hear noises from the hallway and stairwell. On our last night, the neigh-boring room was very loud, which disrupted our sleep and unfortunately put a damper on an otherwise great trip.
GGabor RatkayThe room/bed/elevator/parking was comfortable. The staff was nice and friendly.
At the set dinner, it would have been better to have 3 dishes to choose from per category. If there had always been three types (pork/beef, chicken, fish).
The breakfast was lacking in vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers), and it would have been better to have a larger selection of savory foods (meat, cheese).
GGuest UserThe room was very compact, but the staff were very helpful. The view from the balcony was beautiful, and it was a wonderful stay. The hotel was close to the main street, so I was able to go back to the hotel and rest. All the tourist sites in Taormina, including the bus terminal, are within walking distance. If I visit Taormina again, I would like to use this hotel again.
GGuest UserThe room has an unbeatable sea view, facing the sea with flowers blooming in spring, and you can also see the misty Mount Etna in the distance. The hotel is halfway up the mountain. It is a bit expensive to take a taxi from the train station to the mountain for 25 euros. Young people without large luggage can try hiking or taking the bus. The uncle at the front desk is very friendly. The sleeping bag left in the room by my companion was immediately delivered. I stayed for two nights. It is suitable for a daze vacation
GGuest UserNice hotel! I had a very late check-in after they closed the reception. Very strange! I chose a hotel with a 24/7 reception! They left me a note with detailed instructions on the hotel door. It said that I would find the keys to the room in the door, but they were not there!!! My sleepy brain could only think of going down to the empty reception and picking up the keys from there. There were no questions at check-out.
CClaire MHotel Vittoria is an older hotel - quite nostalgic I must say! Just look at the key of the room! Totally old style, but super cool! The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the room was big and clean and very simple. The bed was bigger than what we usually had during our Sicily trip and it was very comfy ... I'd say it reflected the size of the room ... 😂
The breakfast next morning was very nice - we had eggs, crêpes, cakes, fruits, ... a lot to choose from and again, very helpful and friendly staff. Those heads on the pictures were all on tables on the way to the dining room ... Unfortunately, I forgot to take more pictures of the hotel, but instead, I will add some pix of Trapani where in the evening we enjoyed one of the most beautiful sunsets of our trip ... And that tree! OMG! What a personality! 😍
GGuest UserA very good hotel with excellent service, located 100 meters from the beach and 500 meters (a 15-minute walk) from Cefalù's historic center. The room and bathroom are spacious, and the breakfast is very generous.
JJuanyingyingThe hotel is located at the very end of the main street. For those taking the bus up the mountain, you'll need to walk about 1.2 kilometers to reach the hotel. Although old, the common areas have been largely renovated and are well-maintained. The high ceilings make for a comfortable and pleasant experience, and the staff are friendly. I even had a room tour of my single room. The hotel's extra services are above four-star standards, including a spa, lunch, bar, and dinner (though I didn't try them).
The guest area inside the room looked older, but it was spacious enough. It came with a small terrace with a sea view. The bathroom seemed renovated, and the fixtures were relatively new.
The Western breakfast was standard, with smoothies available. (I was confused because it didn't include breakfast when booking, but I was told it was included when I checked in.)
The hotel has a small garden with a beautiful pool at the end.
By the way, the city tax is a bit steep, at 4 euros per person per night.
