Grande Albergo Maugeri

The property was just perfect for our family vacation. My only concern was that if you don’t have car then you have quite a stretch to reach the town of cefalu and buses only pass once an hour- but that has nothing to do with the property it’s self! The other slight problem for us (we had quite a particular case as my dad fell ill during our stay and had to be admitted to hospital) was that there is not a bathroom near the pool area. There are showers whichw was great and the owner was kind enough to let us stay and use the bathroom of the apartment till it was possible, other than that it was brilliant- thank you Boagio! We hope to come and stay there again in the future 🍻

The staff were very friendly and helpful from even before the trip assisting with instructions on how to get to the hotel using public transport. Very helpful organising the many taxis required to get anywhere. Room was very clean an comfortable. Continental style breakfast was ok although a little confusing on whether you need to serve yourself from the single button press coffee machine or did someone actually serve coffee from the proper machine...they did serve you coffee but you had to ask for it rather than them offering on the first couple of days. You must try the café diagonally opposite the hotel in Piazza del; Garibaldi (Caffe Chamarel), staff/owner amazing people and very welcoming with great food and wine.

Original room was fine but we had a small issue with hot water in the room. Management promptly acted with many apologies and they took to transfer our things and upgraded us to a superior room that was simply brilliant! Parking facility for free in Sicily (as it should be!) is an added bonus!! Highly recommended!

The excellent service started before we arrived at the hotel during a phone call with Giuseppe who advised me on where to eat and where to go once in Acireale. We arrived a little earlier than the allowed check in time but Giuseppe was so kind to make sure we were in our room within minutes, we also had an unexpected upgrade which is always a bonus. The room was spacious and clean, the temperature was comfortable and so were the beds, we all slept very well. Reception staff were always ready to help with the many questions I had and pointing us in the right direction to the local sites and eateries. The service was top class, even when I was on the train on the way home they had telephoned me to make sure that we had caught our return train on time. Brilliant! Giuseppe is a big asset to this hotel, he knew everything and made us feel welcome. I am even thinking to book again next month.

I stayed here for five days and it was everything I needed. The room was a decent size and the facilities were good.
