Each of the 111 guest rooms and suites come with evening turndown service and a spacious marble bathroom with luxury bath products, and some – the best in our opinion – offer picturesque sea views. Treating yourself to a suite is absolutely worth the splurge here, because most of the Junior Suites, Executive Suites and Specialty Suites come with a private terrace and a plunge pool. The elegant Royal Suite is the hotel’s most luxurious option, boasting 140 square metres of living space and an expansive terrace where you can enjoy fresh sea breezes.
Savour Mediterranean cuisine and Sicilian sushi in a picturesque poolside setting at Anciovi, or stop by Bar and Chiostro to enjoy a light meal, a cup of coffee or a classic cocktail. Helmed by Chef Massimo Mantarro, Principe Cerami is the hotel's signature restaurant, serving classic regional cuisine paired with some of Sicily's delicious and finest wines. Start your morning with a classic Sicilian breakfast featuring a fresh fruit basket, freshly-baked croissants, rolls with salted butter and honey and a selection of cold cuts delivered right to your room by 24-hour room service. The in-room dining menu also offers an American-style breakfast, a romantic breakfast package with champagne and caviar and a diverse array of meals including fresh seafood, hearty pasta dishes and local cheeses.
Visit Botanica Spa for a signature basalt stone massage or a herbal face mask inspired by ancient monastic healing. Stretch out on a lounge chair beside the rooftop infinity pool to enjoy the sunshine, or stroll through the ancient garden while breathing in the fresh scent of the lavender and lemon trees. For a unique experience, sign up for the sushi making class to join the hotel's head chef on his trip to the market for the freshest ingredients and then dine on the rolls you’ve made.
