As good as the best reviews suggest. Very friendly, helpful service. The room was very smart, and surprisingly quiet, as we were only a flight of steps from Corso Umberto, right at Porta Catania. The tiny balcony, of room 105 giving a view of Mt Etna. The breakfasts beautifully presented and delicious.

Highly recommend this small hotel. Service is outstanding. The small hotel has agreements with a beach club and another hotel for use of their pool. We used this service to get to the beach and had a relaxing afternoon in the sun. Breakfast was sweet and savory- homemade cake each day. Delicious. Owner was friendly, welcoming and service oriented. Rooms... More

The hotel is hosted in a converted house at the very beginning of corso umberto (side of porta catania), so that you have a setting in a very typical location (up a few steps), in a small square in between other historical houses, but the rooms are all very modern. Moreover, what is very good of this hotel is that... More

Our experience at this hotel was simply outstanding! Upon entering the hotel's lobby, we were greeted with a warm smile and a very friendly 'buona sera' together with the scent of strawberries in the air. The hotel owners proved to be so kind and warm to us throughout our stay and they really tried their best to help us out... More

Based in Porta del Tocco, a family-run hotel with its fantastic location 1-minute away from Porta Catania but away enough not to have your windows on the main... More

Drop everything and run to Hotel Porta del Tocco! This was by far the best Hotel we stayed in during our 15 day vacation in Italy! We had originally booked a room at another hotel. Upon arrival, the other hotel was not acceptable to us. We wandered in to Hotel Porta del Tocco and luckily they had 1 room available.... More

Perfect and beautiful area, literally a couople of steps away from the main shopping road. Beautiful, clean, spacious and modern rooms. Good breakfast with good choices. Polite and helpful staff. No electric iron and electric kettle available in rooms.

This newly redesigned hotel offers some beautifully furnished rooms, with the attention to details that only a family run establishment can offer. It is relatively small (with only 7 rooms) meaning that you get a full personalised service. In fact it has so many plus points that i will list them as a list; perfectly located - anything is just... More
