We stayed for 5 nights at the San Domenico Palace. This was our second time staying here and it was just wonderful. The views from the room were spectacular and the inside of the hotel was amazing. The breakfast was delicious with delicacies from Sicily as well as scrambled eggs, salami, cheeses, piping hot croissants (filled with honey, cream or... More

Excellent location with wonderful landscape. It's a bit expensive, but it's worth the price. Service is perfect. I suggest breakfast on the terrace. I don't suggest the hotel for business men and perhaps it is also too formal for families, but perfect if you are solo or for couples More

This was the first Hotel I stayed in in Sicily and was so impressed! The hotel used to be a monastery, so it is this beautiful building with the most amazing views of the sea, the Etna volcano and the Greek Theater. The rooms are HUGE, with equally nice and spacious restrooms (with Molton Brown toiletries). My only negative comment... More

I've been fortunate enough to stay in many places with "Palace" in the title. However this really did have a palatial feel. From the moment you read the "no visitors allowed" sign, somewhat snottily placed at the entrance, you are aware that there is a definite attempt to cult an air of exclusivity. I arrived on an early December night... More

I spent a couple nights at this hotel. It has everything I want for a break: quiet room, good restaurants and a beautiful hotel with great view. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the tourists area, but far enough away from the crowd. My room was at the end of the hallway. It was the only room... More

From arrival to departure, our experience at the San Domenico was first class. The staff service was impeccable: reception, concierge, restaurant, bar & maids. The location is beautiful, the 15th century palazzo and monastery are well-preserved, but the rooms and amenities are modern and luxurious. The hotel is within easy walking distance of excellent shopping and excellent restaurants. We visited... More

A lovely converted monastry situated in well kept gardens, a nice swimming pool, a wonderful tiny restaurant "Prince Cerami". Breakfast good choice and good quality. Diningroom staff efficient and friendly. The staff in general is friendly but insufficient in numbers. No Concierge!! The rooms like the carpets need freshening up. The lift is old, small and slow. This is an... More

A breakfast to die for! Very nice garden, excellent service and lovely building. I stayed here on a family trip and had the luck to celebrate my birthday at the hotel. I was congratulated with complimentary champagne from the management, very much appreciated! I would definitively recommend a visit to this hotel. So far, best hotel I've been to in... More

We had the first few days of our honeymoon here - and firstly were struck by the beauty of the old monastry. The hotel has a lovely feel and we enjoyed nosing around the parts of the old monastery. The swimming pool and gardens are lovely and well kept. The rooms are dissappointing i have to say - small and... More
