Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Residenza Petra

Lovely little hotel in the heart of a lovely little town

Amazing Staff very nice and helpful

A very pleasant surprise. Hotel was exceptional Very old world charm with very modern conveniences. Staff was outstanding. Found maybe our favorite restaurant in all of Sicily. Lu Carme’ around the corner. Breathtaking views steps from the hotel and even from the room.

It was nice place and clean. The staff was kind. And breakfast was delicious!

Comfortable and well-located hotel with friendly and professional staff in a wonderful small town

Residenza Petra was an excellent choice for us. The hotel is warm and inviting, and we were served by two extremely friendly staff members, Enza and Concetta (sorry for incorrect spelling!). Enza in particular was helpful with directions, reservations, and parking information. Breakfast each morning was a delicious informal brunch, including fresh bread, hard sausage, local ricotta and jam, pastries, and a fun contraption for cooking soft boiled eggs. Enza and Concetta made very tasty espresso drinks to order. Our room was basic, but clean and comfortable, with a bathroom in working order, and turn down service every day. No air conditioning, but a fan was available, and open windows kept the air circulating. Electricity to the room is activated by a key card, so when you are away, anything plugged in will not receive power. Be sure to charge devices overnight. Petralia Soprana is a tiny town with beautiful churches and narrow streets. The locals are friendly to tourists, and we enjoyed our meals at Trattoria da Salvatore, and spritzes and snacks at the bar on the main piazza, which has some outdoor seating. We highly recommend Residenza Petra, and would stay there again!

Very nice welcoming receptionists. Comfortable room but needed to use a fan. Breakfast a bit disappointing but egg cooker gets 5*. Beautiful hill village, very natural with good restaurants almost next door.

We were greeted by a friendly welcome and the level of service continued throughout the stay. The hotel staff were helpful throughout and the 24hr concierge was welcomed. We booked the junior suite for one night, a rustic room on the second floor that had been sympathetically modernised with underfloor heating and a new bathroom suite. A mini-bar of refreshments was included. We also had a view of Etna and surrounding mountains out of the window. The room was very clean and the shuttered windows kept the room really dark, great for a lie-in! We drank at the reasonably priced bar, taking these to the higher floors to enjoy the view from comfy sofas. The breakfast was an excellent selection including local produce such as ham and cheese (ricotta!), breads, pastries and cakes, juices and freshly made coffee. Highly recommended if you want a base to explore the surrounding area.

Helpful staff and decent breakfast in an interesting remote town on the hill

The staff were extremely friendly. Felt like a home away from home!

This is our second time staying here - we love Petralia, we love this hotel and we will definitely come back. Lovely place.

An amazing hotel in a small charming medieval village. Spacious and clean room, good breakfast, helpful English speaking staff. A pizza served at the local pizzeria is to die for!

We only stayed one night, but wish we could have stayed longer in this nice little town. The hotel staff was very nice and accommodating. The room was clean, and the breakfast pretty good !

We had a pleasant stay in this small hotel. We had a large comfortable room .The hotel is in an excellent location and free parking was available on the street 150 metres awayStaff at the hotel were very obliging and helpful and breakfast was quite good. We were surprised that both restaurants in town were closed on Monday evening

We came for a family reunion, and the staff at Hotel Residenza Petra was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice, clean and relatively spacious, though the showers were very small. The hotel is located right in the heart of the village, a very short walk to the town square.

Had trouble finding this quaint, ancient mountaintop villiage, but once we did, we were delighted to discover this recently renovated, high quality hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Only problem was only one restaurant in town which was closed. This is not the hotel's fault, but did affect our stay. Ended up getting bread and cheese at little market and eating in our room, which actually was fun. Town was remote, historical, and not ful of other tourists. Views, including of Mt Etna in the distance, are worth the trip.

The two receptionists were very accomodating. Enza andConcetta They also spoke good English

We were only in for the night but the hotel was pristine. It was hard for me to find but I wasn't planning on my GPS dying in the middle of the night so I wasn't prepared with back up directions. Would highly recommend. Very clean - very sweet staff.

A charming, well planned hotel...rated 3 star only because it has no elevator or restaurant. Loaded with charm though only 2 1/2 years old. Built to stay in character both inside and out with the medieval village it's located in. Rooms are very clean, large, good mattresses, warm comforters. Bathrooms large, free TV/internet combination. Breakfast and cappuccino included. Front desk helpful and pleasant. 1 block from towns main square, easy street parking 1 block from hotel. Would definitely stay again. Off the beaten track (about 30 minutes from major highway).

Excellent stay, and well worth a stopover on a visit to the island.
