We visited Alcantara Resort in August 2012 for a week. It is a lovely location away from the crowds of Taormina - yet within an easy drive. Similarly Mount Etna and Catania are also both easily accessible. Less well known, but stunning and well worth the visit - are the Alcantara gorges - within a 15 minute drive. The accommodation...

The Alcantara resort is located in the eponymous valley a short drive from the east coast of Sicily on the outskirts of Gaggi, a small town of little tourist interest. A few of its less than illustrious blocks of flats overlook the resort and the main road is clearly audible. Both of these detracted from the rural idyll, represented on... More

We loved this place. It was the only 4 star hotel on our trip through Sicily, Calabria and Tuscany, but it easily outclassed the other properties, which were all 5 star. The resort is set in a beautiful garden, perfectly landscaped and maintained. It escapes me how they keep the grass so fresh and green in high August when the... More

Truly enjoyed our 3 nights stay in our ground-floor double room with view on the pool and the Etna. The staff of the resort ensured that all guests enjoyed throughout their stay, including kids (and our one-year old son Olivier). The room was very clean, nicely decorated, and had a proper terrace. The food was great (breakfast, lunch and dinner),... More

From april 27 till may 05, we stayed at the Alcantara resort. We were surprised to find such a beautifull relaxing place in such a small town, close to touristic Taormina. The beautifull rooms, relaxing pool and stunning food made this stay to one we won't forget. Special compliment for the hotel staff, maître Gianfranco and the chef, who did... More

I am a 65 year old Canadian male and stayed at this resort for ten days in April. I know a small amount of Italian and my title expresses my experiences here - spectacular . . . . The meals in the restaurant are excellent, varied and competitively priced. My room was large, comfortable, clean, open and airy. I had... More
