B&B Villa Cristina

It’s like an Oasis in amongst a very run down area . Streets are quite dirty and don’t give a great impression when you first arrive. The owners responded quickly when there we a few issues with the water and some facilities. The place was exceptionally clean and the breakfast was good. There is a nice pool and sun beds but they charge you €8 per day to use it and you can use if after 6pm which we weren’t made aware of. Close to the beach, restaurants and bars.

Very clean and secluded by walled off pool area (if considering by the busy beach area). Blazing morning sun made the breakfast somewhat hot under shades. Really nice pool area with unique pottery decorations. Friendly staff. Narrow check in and out times. Parking can be had on the steep side street. 10 min walk to the beach area.

Good points: 10 mins walk to beach down a steep road. Next to railway but this did not disturb us. Parking was very easy compared to other areas of town Room very clean, spacious, with air con, fridge, large bathroom. Breakfast was ok. The young lady who does the breakfast, cleans all the rooms, does the washing, acts as receptionist and every else is a star. She does this everyday of the week with a smile and kindness all the time, from 7.30 till 1pm. Take note Mr Owner, hold on to her. Without her this BB would get a lower rating. Excellent restaurants nearby, never had a bad meal all week. Bad points. Room was ground floor no window. Espresso and cappuccino is chargeable. Couple of problems with our room but were fixed next day. One afternoon the owner had a very loud argument with his neighbours, got very heated and police came after to calm things down. Not very professional. Overall we enjoyed our and will consider returning.

Location is excellent. It's excellent if you're after a hotel as your sleeping quarters only. It's clean, the manager is friendly, the location is excellent as its close to public transport and a convenience store near by to purchase snacks and bus tickets. A stroll along the Main Street near by is excellent to take in the exquisite Sicilian dining or simply a granita or gelati by nighttime. It's a very short walk to get there. Antonio the manager is very helpful also. The pool is very clean also.
