Hotel Charming House & Resort, Butera, near Catania

Hotel Falconara, near Catania

The Hotel Falconara is in Butera on Sicily's south-eastern coastline, a glorious stretch that links Agrigento to Ragusa. And this resort hotel has a superb location, overlooking the blue waters of the Mediterranean, with sandy beaches, blue skies and relaxation guaranteed.

This new hotel complex is further enhanced by the surroundings. This part of Sicily was an important strategic point in the Mediterranean since ancient times, and was much invaded: from the Greeks, through the Saracens, Normans, Spanish and beyond. The relics are there for you to see, explore and enjoy: the medieval castle at Falconara, which dates from the Norman era; the world-famous Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi) at Agrigento, now a protected UNESCO world heritage site. There is the splendid Baroque town of Noto, Ragusa Ibla, Piazza Armerina with the Villa del Casale and much more.

You may find it hard to be tempted away from the hotel itself though. The resort has a selection of wellness treatments, including Turkish bath, sauna, fitness centre and hammam - and all in a quite beautiful setting. All rooms have radio, minibar, bathroom with tub and shower, phone, air conditioning, TV and balcony. There are double rooms and junior suites. The hotel offers a tour desk, car hire, currency exchange, babysitting ... whatever you need to make your vacation in Sicily perfect. And of course you have the beach right next door.
