Hotels & Accommodation near Arenella Beach

Nice big pool. Beach is just a short walk away

The property was clean on arrival and had a very pretty and inviting appearance. All the bedrooms were a good size, with ample storage for a two-week stay. The living area was huge, and the indoor kitchen was well equipped.The outdoor kitchen was a wonderful feature — a real oasis on a hot day, perfect for cooling down and grabbing a cold drink. We experienced no issues with the electrics, and both kitchens were beautifully fitted and equipped.The pool was lovely, perfectly positioned to be warmed by the sun during the day and shaded in the late afternoon for those who prefer a cooler swim. The lovely owners came to clean the pool and showed us how to use the pool robot, which we used daily due to the ash falling while Etna was active.The outdoor areas were beautiful, with gardeners coming every few days to keep everything looking lovely.Our only small gripe was that, for the price paid, it would've been nice to have had the bedding changed halfway through our stay. We washed the sheets and towels, although the ash on the ground made drying them outside quite tricky without a line to hang them up.There were a couple of minor housekeeping details that could perhaps have been picked up by the property management team before our arrival, but these did not detract from our stay.Overall, we had a lovely holiday. The owners were friendly and helpful, the management team were helpful, kind and responsive, and the villa provided a beautiful and relaxing base for our stay.

Really lovely, well maintained resort, with attractive grounds. There are 2 large pools which are very clean and offer shallow children's section alongside a deeper section. One of the pools is quieter and the other has loud music, we enjoyed using both of them. The staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Being mainly English speakers, we didn't find it difficult to communicate with the staff at all. We went to the beach a couple of times, it is 600m away but the hotel has transport to take people which runs most of the day. We went to the evening shows most night but they are mostly in Italian so we struggled a bit, however, our 4 year old daughter still enjoyed dancing along and watching parts of it. The best part is the food! We had delicious pastas, pizza, fish, vegetables, fruit... the food is varied and fresh. Also delicious deserts. The food quality is really good. The drinks need to be improved - they are served mostly in small plastic cups which isn't ideal. To note - we were all inclusive and paid more for a Superior room which was definitely worth it as you get access to a more premium restaurant and you get reserved beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Overall it beat my expectations and we'd go again.
