We would have liked the pictures to show the true different rooms. I guess we thought we were getting the Presidential Suite per the pictures. I thought we were staying in the villa but were in a different building. Thought there was a hot tub but that is in the PS. When we arrived they were very flustered by having booked 4 rooms thru Expedia. They were friendly but very overwhelmed. They gave us the key to someone else’s room so we went it to a room with other peoples belongings (for one room). To turn on the ac you needed to go back to the front desk for them to turn on and then back again to get a remote. Once settled we all wanted pizza. So we ordered pizza from take out and we brought back to the hotel to be told we needed to sit outside. We were not allowed to eat in the hotel because they didn’t serve pizza. We sat on the terrace and were eating and then told NO you can’t eat here you need to go to the pool and eat on the small tables. And then when we went to move we were told we could stay there just that night don’t do it again. The following night I was walking thru the hotel to watch the same staff member moving tables and chairs to accommodate two other parties with pizza. And he told me it was because Superman delivered the pizza. So we ordered pizza again and this time was allowed to eat the pizza in the bar area. Not happy at all! All 7 of us were very offended.

Bad location, incompetent reception staff
The hotel was clean and well maintained. It was not in a good location at all for visiting the centre or beach. If you have no car, expect to pay a minimum of €30 return for a trip to the centre. There are no restaurants nearby so that is the only option. The buses are unreliable and infrequent. The reception staff were not forthcoming with any information and often inaccurate. The shuttle bus to the beach and city centre operated at peculiar times and was only able to take 8 passengers in the van. If you booked the 0930 bus out, you could only take the 1630 bus back- only two trips there and back! There was no evening shuttle to the centre,the last bus going in at 1830. We booked the hotel taxi (€10 one way) in the evening for three consecutive trips into the centre. My daughter was not well enough to go into the centre on the first night so we cancelled that day. The receptionist then cancelled the remaining trips without telling us and no explanation was given. Very poor! We booked the hotel taxi to take us to the airport on our departure and it didn’t turn up. No apology given by the receptionist or the manager or explanation. We nearly missed our flight. The restaurant menu was lacking variety and imagination and overpriced. The restaurant staff were lovely though. It would be better to get a hotel more centrally located and nearer to the bus station. The taxis are a rip off ,too.

0/10 do NOT recommend
Very bad!! Didn't even stay one night of our four night stay because the hotel was so terrible. The beds are horribly uncomfortable, my boyfriend laid down for a 10 minute nap after we checked in and he woke up with neck and back pain, we asked if we could switch rooms but were told all the mattresses throughout the hotel are the same, we were given one additional pillow which obviously did not help. At reception, the staff argued with us about not giving us our money back. The hotel is not as advertised online. The pool is very small, the free shuttle service offered must be reserved a full day in advance, and it's very, very noisy, you can hear everything that goes on in the halls and upstairs. We were told the manager and owner cannot be contacted and of course the receptionist didn't have the authority to reimburse us but would'nt call the manager or owner for approval and would'nt give us the phone number, which seems rather shady... Reception told us we had to come back the following morning at 8am to speak with the manager, who might not even be there. Very odd. We were either going to book another hotel or get flights out of the city and end our holiday short. This hotel was SO bad that we legitimately considered just leaving the country. We ended up staying at the Four Points by Sheraton which was a much nicer experience. I would highly suggest anyone considering staying at Hotel Villa Del Bosco reconsiders and looks at the Four Points by Sheraton instead.

The Staff were very helpful. The Shuttle bus was a great asset and the Driver went out of his way to be helpful. The meals were very good quality. The pool area and patio were delightful and if it had been a little warmer it would have been lovely. The only drawbacks were 1) No kettle in room as stated and 2) the hotel website should make it clear that the private beach does not open until later in the Year.

We have stayed at this Hotel on 6 occasions and each time the experience is remarkable. The staff are welcoming and attentive. We will return again. The Bar/Lounge is extremely comfortable and enjoyable and an experience like no other. The rooms are exceptionable and the view of Mount Etna and the Sea add to the magic of the Hotel. Catania is something else...and a great "jumping off place" to Taormina and Siracusa for example. In addition,Catania has it's own treasures to explore.

Out of city hotel but with character, great staff
We stayed at the Hotel Del Bosco for a week and could not fault the staff. They were all unfailingly polite, friendly and helpful. In particular the ladies at breakfast time deserve a special mention and we even gave them a small tip the last day which we have never done before. Wish it could have been more. We stayed in the Gold Presidential Suite and on first impressions it was very luxurious but spending a week somewhere shows up the faults. There was no kettle in the room and we like our particular brand of coffee first thing in the morning. There was a coffee machine and supplies were regularly topped up. Also we were told we could have hot water delivered to our room if required. We enjoyed the rooftop Jacuzzi twice during our stay, with views across Catania to the sea. The small outdoor pool was however too cold, but it was November. The worst thing about our room was the noise from the air conditioning unit on the roof above it was very loud and the sound reverberated down the pillar in the bedroom. We complained about the noise and although it was dealt with well and an maintenance man came to the room it appeared nothing could be done. I bought some ear plugs and that helped a little. The bed was very comfortable and nice bedding. The curtains were sufficient to keep out the light which was good. Plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom but the washbasin plug didn’t seem to work. We would like to return but to a different room without the air con noise.
