Grand Hotel Baia Verde

Beautiful sight seeing from the pool and restaurants.

We went mid September and had a lovely time at the hotel. I guess the time of year meant it was relatively quiet but it was still glorious weather. Both pool and sea are really warm. The sea is crystal clear and full of a fabulous variety of fish right next to the rocks - take a snorkel! The pool is bigger than it appears in the photos, maybe 20m x 7 or 8. Dinner is pretty good but don't get put off by the menu as they always had an array of different options the waiters could offer. We had a sea view room which was very clean and comfortable. The bed was massive. Parking was free and secure. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous location, really nice staff & they thoughtfully upgraded me as a surprise in my second stay. This is a large, spacious hotel and I live jumping in the sea from this location. Also, in between main mealtimes, the outdoor cafe is really nice. Lovely property, & I really appreciate hot water & tea in the rooms!

Perfect hotel on the cliff edge. Yummy breakfast, clean room and outdoor swimming pool. Lovely bar by the pool. Friendly staff. Great location, a little bit away from busy Catania. Located withing 10 minute walk from train station Cannizzaro, where you can hop on a train to Taormina for €5. There is a bus stop just outside the hotel. Bus 534 goes once an hour and will take you into the heart of Catania, single journey costs €1. You can get tickets from little shops called Tabacci, they also sell train tickets.

The room was very comfortable and the pool was wonderful. The staff were very helpful and friendly at the reception and at the pool. It was a shame you had to pay extra to lounge by the sea on the private beach but there were always sun loungers available around the pool.
