5-Star Hotels in Sicily, Italy

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.

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.

Nice hotel, lovely pool, and a good welcome at the front desk. The rooms look reasonably good; many have a nice balcony. It is all a bit overdue for maintenance, but it is acceptable. One room is less than ideal (256). After a request at the front desk, the room was exchanged. Breakfast is fine. The service there is also very good. A downside is the rather high prices for the food. Both dinner in the restaurant and snacks by the pool are quite pricey. Opposite the hotel, Tratoria del Sole, there is a delicious (cheap) alternative. The hotel is somewhat secluded. Having a car is handy.

The room is spacious enough. The room was cleaned very well. The breakfast was good. The following are the shortcomings: First, the curtains cannot be drawn at all. Every time, the technician has to move a large ladder to manually close the curtains. Second, the shower head on the top of the bathroom has too little water and the temperature is too low. I dare not wash my hair for fear of catching a cold. Third, and the most important one! Don't stay in room 106! Less than one meter outside the window is the eaves on one side, blocking half of the view, and the eaves are wrapped in iron sheets. When it rains, the raindrops make a huge sound and it is impossible to fall asleep! I stayed for three nights and it rained for three nights... So when you come to Palermo during the rainy season at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, don't stay in room 106. When we placed the order, we asked for a high floor and a quiet room in advance, but the front desk guy gave us this room when we checked in. As a front desk, the professional requirement should be to know all kinds of rooms well; if we are allowed to stay in this room under the condition of understanding and the occupancy rate is not high, the motive can't help but make people suspicious.

Fantastic stay at this unique and special hotel in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. With direct access to the site, our room had spectacular views of the Temple of Heracles from the beautiful terrace. They offer high-quality soaps and products. The very generous breakfast is served on the terrace for an additional fee or in a lovely, bright dining area. It's definitely worth staying here if you're visiting Agrigento, if only for the direct access to the temples before the tour groups arrive. They were also incredibly kind; I had an accident, and they helped us with logistics, even booking a restaurant in the city late at night so we wouldn't go without dinner on the day we arrived.

In total, it was a good stay. The price 1150€ for 2 nights is insane though. I like that the pool is open 24/7 and there is a beautiful restaurant with a view. The property also offered an upgrade, which was nice. The rooms are white and cold, though. Also the rooms should be cleaned while the guests are having the breakfast, so they need to use the updated system for tracking that.

Hotel service is in place, from the car to the hotel entrance, there is a full set of services, including valet parking and so on. The room is facing the bay and it feels like a holiday. Opposite the hotel, there is a cable car up the mountain, 15 euros back and forth, to the town center, quite convenient. There will be a service fee charged when checking out, and there is no need to tip the waiter separately.

The room is clean. The staff are friendly. It was noisy in the evening due to loud music from a nearby restaurant, but it became quiet after closing.

I would say this is the best hotel in Sicily. Everything are also FS standard, the room, BF are good as expect. The view from my room is so nice we can enjoyed the sea at the balcony. Swimming pool and chilling area around cover by D&G so very nice.
