“This hotel stands out for its enviable position on a fine sandy beach, nestled between two nature reserves; it's a family-oriented place with dedicated children's clubs and a professional animation team. While it may not be the most luxurious, its capacity to host large events, alongside its easy access to Palermo, makes it a practical choice. A solid option if you want private beach access.”
