The hotel offers much more than its relaxed and hospitable atmosphere - guests can take advantage if the hotel's shuttle service to enjoy numerous cultural and leisure events that are organized in the area from St. Alessio with its coasts top castle to Taormina and Giardini Naxos from June right through to September. The Hotel boasts two swimming pools, one with sea water - particularly suitable for therapeutic bathing - a new initiative by the hotel in this combination of health and hospitality. In the same vein, the management offers a fully-equipped gym with Hydro-massage facility and beauty centre with massage, sauna, Turkish bath and in-house hair stylist. Sea-lovers can easily get down to the private rocky beach directly beneath the hotel via state-or-the-are glass lift. Creating a hotel to blend in with this typical Sicilian landscape was quite an undertaking, but thanks to its graceful arches and pergolas, its local stone facings, its handmade terracotta tiles and brick, the building is absorbed into the coastal ambience, adding rather than retracting from the natural environment. The bedrooms contribute to the overall look of the hotel, too. Their decoration mirrors local culture and taste, offering style and comfort combined with airiness and light with their ample sun terraces looking out over the sea. Hotel guests will delight in wandering through the large gardens in the complex, skilfully laid out to create green area and landscaped with abundance of Mediterranean plants to make a splash of vivid colour against the rocks, interlaced with palm trees, bougainvillaea, hibiscus and oleander.
