Hotel Paladini Di Francia

“Three Star Punching Above Weight”

I had one of the cheaper rooms and it was so small I could hardly open my small suitcase. Also had no balcony. But the bed was big, it was clean, had good free WIFI and good water pressure. The plumbing was not the best (like in many Sicilian hotels) but I had all I needed. Air con, TV, and a smal… lisää

I had one of the cheaper rooms and it was so small I could hardly open my small suitcase. Also had no balcony. But the bed was big, it was clean, had good free WIFI and good water pressure. The plumbing was not the best (like in many Sicilian hotels) but I had all I needed. Air con, TV, and a small fridge. The hotel is in a super quiet location just off the central harbor point. They don’t respond to emails if you are booking via a third party site but two days before your arrival you’ll get an email asking if you need an airport transfer and telling you where yo forward the email. It’s in Italian but you can respond using Google Translate. No one responded to my email and I also had an Italian speaker call to make sure. All went well and transfers are free. (Note: there is no formal taxi service on the island. The hotels all work with men with vans so you need to arrange a transfer before arriving at the airport). The Michelin Star restaurant in the hotel dining room is great. But breakfast is poor and the fellow who manages it is very unhelpful and surly. The hotel has a nice Arabic architecture courtyard feel. I really appreciated the beach towel in the room and the clothes dryers outside for hanging up bathing suits. Maria Christina, one of the receptionists, speaks great English and is super positive and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here.

“Good Location”

It is located only in walking distance to Guitgia beach. If you want to go to a good cafe you just have to walk about 5 minutes to the left side. To a good restaurant? Just walk a few seconds to the left. They provide a free pick-up and delivery to the airport. The room is nice with a balcony. And … lisää

It is located only in walking distance to Guitgia beach. If you want to go to a good cafe you just have to walk about 5 minutes to the left side. To a good restaurant? Just walk a few seconds to the left. They provide a free pick-up and delivery to the airport. The room is nice with a balcony. And so quiet. Unfortunately the breakfast is poor and the employees could not speak English. And we found that to reserve a scooter before we arrived was a bit useless because they haven't prepared the scooter until we were there and asked (again) directly. Then the process starts from the beginning, they call the rental company and waiting then waiting then waiting. However, the price that they offered was cheaper then the normal rate. It is way cheaper to pay before you arrive, I think.

“Lämpimästi tervetulleeksi muuten keskimääräiseen hotelliin”

Se on epätavallista, että 3 tähden hotelli on erikoinen, mutta tässä paikassa on kolme loistavaa asiaa: 1. Se sijaitsee venesatamassa ja aivan nurkan takana parhaasta uimarannasta saarella ja kävelymatkan päässä vanhasta kaupungista ja erinomaisista ravintoloista; 2. Ristorante Gemelli, joka on saa… lisää

Se on epätavallista, että 3 tähden hotelli on erikoinen, mutta tässä paikassa on kolme loistavaa asiaa: 1. Se sijaitsee venesatamassa ja aivan nurkan takana parhaasta uimarannasta saarella ja kävelymatkan päässä vanhasta kaupungista ja erinomaisista ravintoloista; 2. Ristorante Gemelli, joka on saaren ainoa 4 Michelin-tähdellä varustettua ravintolaa, on DOWNSTAIRS! Ja hotellin asiakkaat ovat etusijalla, kun varaat taulukoita! Pisteet! 3. Vastaanoton työntekijä Maria Christina puhuu englantia ja tekee vierailustasi lämpimän ja erikoisen. En tiedä mitä olisin tehnyt ilman häntä. :) Kiitos ihanasta oleskelusta.

“Comfortable but the room is old and very small”

The position is great. A few steps from the beach Guitcia which is very comfortable. On the other hand, the room was old. The bathroom even worst. I suggest a renewal of the rooms. Breakfast was average. Nothing special. A good point was the kindness of people at the reception. They will pick you a… lisää

The position is great. A few steps from the beach Guitcia which is very comfortable. On the other hand, the room was old. The bathroom even worst. I suggest a renewal of the rooms. Breakfast was average. Nothing special. A good point was the kindness of people at the reception. They will pick you and will leave you where needed when you have to leave.
