Great hotel, super clean & well maintained. Very pet friendly - room was clean & spacious, balcony slightly on small side and coffee machine would be a nice extra touch. Area is quiet, supermarket & some bars/pizzerias within walking distance but you need a car to visit Modica etc, super close to Scicli which is a beautiful town. Breakfast & pool were amazing and overall reasonable price!
