Albergo Lachea

The Lachea is a lovely, family run hotel. The staff are exceptional: always friendly, and helpful planning trips, calling taxis for us - we were even offered a lift to the next town one evening. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the pool area in particular is kept pristine and has stunning views. Breakfast is good, especially the selection of pastries - there is an apricot tart that is particularly good - and the full range of coffees from a self service machine. There is also yoghurt, fruit, cereal, and a more limited selection of savoury items. The air con works well throughout, wifi too overall - just had a problem from the room on 1 day out of 18, but this soon resolved. Only slight downside is the traffic noise in the rooms, especially in the rooms at the front of the hotel. Aci Trezza is quaint town with a real buzz about it - packed full of really great restaurants and bars. The town centre is just 10 minutes' walk away from the hotel. However access is initially via a steep incline with narrow pavements. This would be tricky for the mobility impaired or for small children in buggies. Snorkelling is fantastic as the area is a marine reserve. There are no natural beaches and the sea is accessed via lidos, some very stylish and comfortable. You do need to pay to get into these - we paid 5 euros per person per day.

There are absolutely no negatives about this hotel. It is family run, everyone was so friendly, the service was exceptional and it was very clean both inside the hotel and outside around the swimming pool. There was plenty of choice for breakfast, providing that you appreciate that it is in Sicily and not England, and the evening meal we had in the hotel restaurant was excellent and very reasonable. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the small fishing town and there are plenty of great restaurants and bars. Everywhere we went the people were so friendly. A fantastic place to stay and highly recommended.

Nice family run hotel. Ease of check-in and great room with view over the town of Acitrezza & the Faraglioni. Walking distance to town with GREAT nightlife and huge selection of restaurants/pizzerie! Staff very friendly and helpful - recommend take the Tour of Etna, with pickup/drop off at hotel and take a sunbath at local "beach", bathe among the lava in crystal clear water! Highly recommend!

Great family run hotel, rooms slightly dated but clean. Lovely breakfast. Nice view from balcony. Staff very helpful.
