Beautiful property outside of Cefalù. We had a car so easy to go into town. This hotel is searched on a beautiful bluff and has a lovely little beach that you take an elevator too. The pizza place was very good with amazing views. Very good value for the room.

What an amazing trip. Everything was top notch! This report is amazing and over delivered from what my expectations were going in. Beautiful location, beautiful hotel, rooms are nice and well kept. Very close to a perfect 2 weeks. My only complaints were some of the staff at the pool are a little indifferent to your needs, but for the most part they were all amazing. Well done! I would highly recommend this place, and would go back in a second if I’d ever be in the Cefalu area. Location is not perfect to visiting other cities, and require lots of driving.

This was a stunning property. We arrived to the property very late at night and it was nice that at 2 AM. Somebody was there waiting for us. Any helped us with all of our luggage in the sweltering heat. His name was Luca. The grounds are absolutely stunning and well kept, the staff here is extremely friendly. I enjoyed the walk down to the beach and snorkeling by the rocks. It is truly beautiful property not very far from Lou, which is also wonderful town. The only suggestion I would have is water shoes for those in the area wanting to visit the beach and also to pack light because it is difficult going through all of the steps in the property to get to your room. I truly have nothing bad to say about this property. I just wish that the store would’ve stayed open a little longer instead of closing for such a long period of time. I cannot wait to come back again

This Property is lovely and pool and beach access are amazing and would recommend for the price.
What I will say is that theirs is no above and beyond or any kind of wow factor. Food was just fine, service was just fine, no one seemed to really want to help out or go out of their way for anything. No laundry service and no iron in room. rooms where made daily but water was not replaced and coffee k-cups where never replenished from day one.
Like i said we enjoyed our time and having access to a private beach and pool where great but in reality just a fancy looking hotel and not a resort.

Just book it! Gorgeous Views! Spacious beautiful rooms! Instagram worthy pics! Great location midway to Taormina, and close to Cefalu.
I didn’t know what to expect. pictures were limited and their instagram does no justice. We have frequented Sicily many times as we have family and can say this hotel was a gem!
Staff was super friendly, and handled any request quickly. We were a group of 13 and our parents celebrated their 50th wedding here and it went beautifully and smoothly all with planning from the US.
The grounds are expansive with beautiful spaces and views to explore each day and golf carts to assist you in getting to the further locations.
Highlights of our stay here; the glass elevator in the mountain that takes you down to sea level and The club at their private beach which was better than most located nearby. Plenty of sun chairs and wonderful cocktails seaside. The ocean dips quickly- so that was the only downside.
Their main pool was lovely at day and night and the scenery was gorgeous.
Their main dining buffet of local cuisine kept all of our 13 guests happy. Plenty of options including a gelato cart. We were worried breakfast wouldn’t be as complete but their waffles, bacon, eggs and fruit did not disappoint.
We tried the gourmet experience dining option- only pick raw if you are truly adventurous.
We loved their rustic outdoor dining venue serving pizzas.
Thank you Mangia for the great memories!

Pollina resort was a great spot for a family holiday. The resort is clean and well run, facilities are good, and rooms comfortable. Breakfast and the buffet dinner were very good. Catering after breakfast was very focused on the all inclusive guests with limited options for B&B guests - I recommend the short walk into Finale to Trattoria Aarhais for some excellent local seafood.
