We had actually booked a room in their sister hotel which ended up closing early for the season so we got an upgraded suite here for a great price. We knew it was very off season (mid November) but we were blessed with 70's weather so we loved our two day stay. The service was first rate. The bartender could not have been nicer and our first night we had a light bar dinner complete with Amaro at the end. The reception tour was very thorough and they did a great job settling us in our room. The room was very spacious with a gorgeous terrace overlooking the sea and the pool. it was almost as large as the room itself. Keep in mind they call it a boutique hotel but there are actually 70 rooms so it's on the larger side which was fine for us as it was not crowded in November but that could be a drawback. They have a fantastic gym which I took advantage of (it was the best gym so far in my 2 week Italy trip) with nice equipment and Jolena (gosh, I hope I got her name right) and the spa was AMAZING -I am a massage snob and I would say she gave me one of the best sports massages of my life - I'm like a different person today. Brava!! The room has a coffee machine, mini bar (water included), 2 sinks, jacuzzi top and nice amenities. I only have minor suggestions but none of these detract from our awesome stay. 1-not sure what is the deal in Sicily but at a nice resort like this, it would be nice to have soft 2 ply toilet paper instead of small squares - maybe a cultural thing? I mean buy some Charmin! 2- likewise, a few washcloths (very small hand towels) for face and bidet would be appreciated as it's hard to use the larger size towels 3- we walked to town every night but there is one VERY dark patch right when you leave their property (but still their property) which is creepy - it would be VERY advisable to put lights here on the wall so no one feels uncomfortable walking into town and back at night. Even with our iPhone flashlights, it was DARK and kind of back-alley like. I loved the walk into town but this could easily be addressed. Finally, breakfast was AMAZING - a great deal. We did not get to eat at Cala Luna as we opted for the old town (which is great). Thanks to all the caring staff who went out of their way to make our visit special. Be sure to request Jolene at the spa! Beautiful spot and a great private property with lots to do even in off season.
