My husband and I arrived quite late, rain was pouring down and the small road (and only road) to the hotel was blocked due to roadwork. We called them several times beeing close by but nobody answered so we walked in to check if the whole hotel had been shut down. After rather long wait in the reception area we got the explanation that the telephoneline had been cut off due to the heavy rain, so everything was ok and we could check in.

We were escorted to a room on 3rd floor and it was great! I fell in love at once. Green furniture with a touch of the 70's. Robust. Simple. Welcoming. Every wall in a different colour.
No TV (didn't miss one either). No minibar. Perfectly functioning AC.

Fantastic seaview from our balcony. We kept the door open listening to the waves falling asleep and wakening seeing the sunrise over the horizon.
Toilet somewhat hard to flush down even one single paper. Hot water i shower sometimes took quite long time, but we are 100% ok with that.
Room was nice and clean.

Breakfast was sufficient and we enjoyed trying all the cakes. Coffee great.
We stayed there three nights and would love to return someday.

In a fantastic Sicilian location called Castel di Tusa there is a place where you can breathe art and beauty.
The ATELIER SUL ARE it's a container full of emotions. I´ve been there for a special occasion, the wedding of two beautiful women (one of them my bet friend) and they booked for me on of the Art Room.
I got the pleasure to sleep in a room called "The Tower of Sigismondo". When can you sleep in the completely darkness and at some point have the chance to open the roof and sleep under the stars? if you'll book it.... you can get this opportunity. This "hotel", but maybe is better call it "Museum", "Meeting point of different culture", "Place of the Beauty"...... it's a place where you can feel the harmony of beauty. The beauty of life (la Bellezza della vita). It's a place where you can feel the peace of the your soul through the poetry that you can read on the walls........ The "hotel" is surrounded of a fantastic sea "the Tyrrhenian Sea" and in this particular place the part of this coast got a blue flag, this means that you can find the best and clean sea of Sicily.
In my particular case after the check in I was escorted to my room by Mariella (one of the employers of this hotel).
She on the way to my room started telling me the reasons why the Artist Antonio Presti (owner of this amazing place) decided to create this hotel. One we arrived to my room, she explained me the story of the room, the artist that created it and the legend behind it.
The staff is very kindly and I do apologise for don't remember the name of every person that I met.
I recommend you to leave this experience at leats once in life and to dive inside this art place.
Once again I'd like to thank you all the staff for the fantastic welcome.

Ciao
Antonio

If you stay here, pick an art room. There are about 15 of them, designed by different artists. We stayed in the Water Bearers room. Some friends had stayed in the wonderful Prophet room. Actually a lot more comfortable than we thought, with an amazing view, though the lack of curtains certainly helps you wake up. Not luxurious, but inspiring. Could do with more thorough cleaning, but we loved it. Haggle if you're going out of season.

We stay there for 2 nights. The way to get there was not easy very narrow road.
The hotel was very fun to look around. There are several rooms that have story in it. Very meaningful in the way they present. Some rooms are too much to stay. But some are so cozy. Breakfast was nice. Staffs are willing to serve. We love it
