Breakfast
Guests appreciate the fresh pastries, particularly the giant croissants and the Italian coffee, which is prepared with notable dedication. Freshly squeezed juice from Sicilian oranges and delicious pomegranate juice have also been favorably mentioned, enhancing the breakfast experience with fresh and natural options.
The breakfast is often characterized as a typical Italian or Sicilian affair, consisting mainly of croissants, coffee, juice and sometimes additional items like jam and biscuits. While some find this sweet and simple breakfast delightful and sufficient to last until lunch, others consider it to be very basic and limited with a few guests expressing a desire for more variety, such as the inclusion of fruits or a buffet-style spread.
Despite these varying opinions on the selection, the overall sentiment towards the breakfast at Hotel Panorama di Sicilia is positive, especially given the spectacular view and the warm hospitality of the staff. For many, the combination of good food, excellent coffee and a remarkable setting makes the breakfast a memorable part of their stay.

Rooms
The rooms are generally described as simple with basic furnishings that meet essential needs. Some rooms come with remarkable balconies and terraces, enhancing the stay by providing magnificent panoramas of the surrounding countryside. Despite the simplicity, guests find the rooms comfortable and adequately equipped for short stays.
However, the hotel’s age is evident in many guest comments. Descriptions of outdated furniture, aged decor and a need for renovation are common. Some reviews mention specific issues such as poor insulation, bad smells in bathrooms and noise from the street. Basic amenities like a television or fridge are often missing and some aspects, such as small and minimalistic bathrooms, detract from the overall experience.
In summary, while Hotel Panorama di Sicilia offers clean and spacious rooms with stunning views that guests truly enjoy, the dated conditions and need for some updates are noticeable and might impact the comfort of the stay.
Beds
Several guests suggested that the mattresses and beddings are in dire need of an upgrade with some beds feeling more like retro spring beds or even camp beds. Despite these criticisms, a few reviewers also mentioned that the beds were functional, if basic, often describing them as okay or just fine. However, overall, the consensus indicates that while the beds serve their purpose, improvements are necessary to elevate the comfort level to meet guests' expectations.
Cleanliness
Despite some mentions of structural updates being needed and sparse amenities, the rooms maintain high cleanliness standards. While isolated incidents of cleanliness issues were reported, the overwhelming majority vouch for a well-maintained, clean environment. This dedication to cleanliness is a key strength, making Hotel Panorama di Sicilia a reliable choice for travelers prioritizing hygiene and orderliness.
