Top!!!I have been visiting Sicily for over a decade every year.. and stayed in many different Agriturismo..this is by far the best yet. We stayed for a total of 5 nights and we were 14 in total and we could not have asked for a better holiday. They also catered for coeliacs and also sourced specific products like gluten free and other hard to find ingredients as one of the guests was highly intolerant to Gluten, cow's milk dairy and also all Knight shade items. We were planning to stay for lunch twice, but ended up eating there 4 times.......their food was one of the best we had from the entire region, which says a lot given that we went to some really great Sicilian eateries!!! The crew under the watchful eye of Antonio are impeccable, Simone and all the rest! Always there when you need them. The location is absolutely breathtaking.....as soon as we arrived to the main reception....I was immediately reminded of the green mountains surrounding island of Capri...... unbelievable location! I cannot fault anything really. Even the rooms and their construction where full of character, very clean and with a view to die for. We will be back again....as I doubt we will find anything better next year. P.S. we barely found booking......4 months in advance but its understandable.

Nice room next to the supermarket

We Had a wonderful holiday here at the Sant alphio hotel! The hotel is clean, beautiful and spacious. Pool area is stunning with loads of sun loungers and a poolside bar/restaurant area. AC was strong and refreshing which was just what we needed on a hot day. Breakfast was great- these comments about ‘no choice’ at breakfast are, in my opinion, completely false. It was what you would expect from a four star Italian hotel, with pastries, good coffee, fruit and meat. The dinner was superb, faultless and the service was beyond brilliant. There are also plenty restaurants nearby but the hotel meals were a lot better and good value. Our room was big, spotless and had large drawers and a wardrobe for storage. Balcony had an awesome view of mount Etna. Didn’t use the spa but it looked fantastic and offered lots of services and treatments. The hotel lobby has a bar which served a range of great drinks. We didn’t want to leave and I recommend highly to travellers!

Looking at the stats on Trip Advisor it would appear that 75% of nearly 2000 reviews score highly, this review is in line with those. I cannot abide negativity and its repercussions. Just spent a hugely relaxing and warm 2 weeks at Caesar Palace. It is an older hotel and it has the character and quirkiness to go with it, so much better than many modern hotels without soul. Our room was on 3rd floor overlooking pool, excellent,  aircon was not noisy, room was not drab, bed linen was fine. Room always cleaned to good standard and left smelling fresh. We found food to be very good, amazing variety of fish,  pasta and risotto dishes,carpaccio,sundried tomatoes, marinated olives, Arancini and many Sicilian vegetable dishes. In 2 weeks we never queued for food even when busy, which was normally at 8pm, we eat at 7pm. Always found something nice to eat. Staff were very attentive, wine in Restaurant was freely available and we have no complaints. As for comments about feeding at trough,  that says more about the users than the providers. To the Bar, where we were brilliantly served by, Katerina, Serafina,Paolo and Rafaelo  amazing range of top shelf world renowned Italian liqueurs, and others, plus Absolut,Gordon's,Bacardi,Ballantines. Bottled red and white wine which was available in local Supermarket at €5-6 a bottle, bit more expensive than vinegar and a better taste by far , Prosecco and of course Moretti beer. We had a great time working out different drinks, some of which were new to the staff. We made use of the Sun Deck on 3rd floor of main block, nice and private with amazing views of Etna. The courtesy transport to beach has set timings and signs showing those are in numerous locations around hotel, not too hard to find. I have never seen,or heard, any advice that says beach is only a few minutes walk, research!! Most surprising for me is reading and laughing at negative comments and their origins. Here is a tip when reading reviews, never read the negative stuff if it is well in the minority, because that is what it is ‘ Minority’ Overall a very positive stay, enjoyed at all times, would stay again without question.

I liked this building very much: it has a large internal parking, a beautiful outdoor pool and a wellness area which I have not enjoyed for a short time. The rooms are perfectly clean and ordered, people welcome to the very friendly and always available reception.
