We stayed at the Olimpo hotel with a group of colleagues from several european countries. The stay was organised by Saga and we were lucky to have the services of the excellent Saga organiser who made all the arrangements without overcrowding the programme. We found the hotel staff friendly for such a large hotel and had no complaints about the... more

Just returned from 1 week and the Olimpo with Saga on an all inclusive basis. Cannot fault Saga the rep was very good. The Hotel as described is up at the top of a hill with lvoely views over the sea, must pay for a seaview as rooms at the back were not very good according to our fellow travellers.... more

booked this holiday only a few weeks before I went so was doubtful about the lift/funicular arrangement but that worked fine but can see that if one arrived/left at the same time as many other people it could be a great irritation. Because of this arrangement there was no 'popping out' unless you are pretty young and used to doing... more

My wife and I have just returned from Sicily. We both really enjoyed the experience of staying at the Olimpo hotel. The only problem encountered was the original room overlooked the kitchen and was at the back of the hotel; after making a complaint to the reception staff; who was helpful, but indicated that we had only booked a standard... more

We read the reviews before booking and decided to take a chance bearing in mind a lot of the adverse comments. We are glad we did. The accommodation was good, staff were very friendly and the food was really good with a large choice at dinner and breakfast. We had a pac ked lunch on one day and it was... more

We have recently returned after a week at the Olimpo. Our room was on the top floor with a sea view and was one of the largest we have stayed in anywhere; it was spotless as was the rest of the hotel. We had clean towels every day, requested or not and the bed linen was changed mid-stay. There was... more

We stayed for 2 weeks on a half-board basis. Previous reviewers have mentioned the impressive setting of the hotel and access to it via a foot tunnel, lift and funicular. The 2 lifts which operate from ground level to the first level (Antares) take only 6 people and this can lead to delays if they break down or you arrive... more

This hotel was one of the best we encountered on a tour of Italy and Sicily. The room was huge compared to the other hotels we stayed at. The bathroom was clean and modern, the porch was a nice touch and offered a terrific view of the coastline. The buffet in the morning was standard fare - quite sufficient. From... more

The Hotel Olimpo is comfortable, and it's staff are friendly and willing. The rooms are large and well appointed. It has wonderful views. The down side however is that to get to the sea you have to negotiate one funicular, one lift, one tunnel, a large car park, a winding set of steps, a road under a motorway and a... more
