This hotel is situated right on the highway, so very easy to find. The downside it that our room, although it had a lovely terrace and overlooked the sea, also overlooked the railroad tracks, so we heard the trains pass through in the night. However, apart from that, the room was comfortable and clean and the staff was fantastic. We... More

We found the hotel after seeing nothing of interest in Paola and a day's drive from Sicily. Great spot, friendly family-run hotel, very good restaurant for both dinner and breakfast!The room was very comfortable. The staff were warm and friendly and spoke good English. This was just right for us at the end of a long driving day.

As were visiting family in a nearby town (Fagnano Castello) The Hotel Zilema offered a excellent location right on the ocean. The room was great and staff were friendly and helpful, offering excellent service. The breakfasts were substantial in a large dining room with great views, with a freshly cooked omelet if desired!! Plenty of parking, and free Wifi available.... More

They also speak very good English and will help with any translation, taxi bookings,... More

It turned out to be a ground floor room which faced the sea, but there was no view - except for the train directly across the street. When we complained,... More

If you are looking for a pleasant, reasonable, clean hotel to stay in I would consider Hotel Zilema.

We were visiting family... More
