My stay at Minareto was an interesting mix of beautiful views and some disappointments. The serene location near Syracuse was perfect for relaxation, especially with the private beach and immaculate grounds. However, I found the rooms lacking for a supposed 5-star experience, especially in terms of amenities. Overall, while I enjoyed my time, I felt there were areas needing improvement.

The room size was comfortable, but the decor was overly gaudy for my taste. I had a compact view with only a slight glimpse of the sea. Additionally, the amenities didn't feel up to par for a 5-star rating.
