Grand Hotel Baia Verde is a nice resort hotel. Unfortunately we came in the off season so some amenities like the pool and access to the sea were not available.
Our room was a recently renovated room and was very clean with a balcony. The views in the morning were fantastic watching the sun rise up over the sea.
It’s about a 20 minute drive into the centre of Catania. Mount Etna is about a 40 minute drive
Would not recommend staying here unless you have a car, there isn’t much in walking distance apart from other hotels.
Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast buffet was wonderful and the hotel bar was also nice.
Hotel grounds were well kept and very scenic. Parking is onsite in a secure lot.
Отличный отель, стоит каждого потраченного евро. Хорошее расположение, зелёная территория, разнообразный завтрак, широкий пляж, несколько бассейнов, анимация. Отдельно хочу ответить высокий сервис: нас заселили на два часа раньше тк номер был готов, дали номер с видом на море и самое главное разобрались с ошибкой при бронировании (не был включен завтрак для ребёнка, хотя он бесплатный). Жалею только что не взяла HB, тк цены в ресторанах на сицилии не маленькие. Даже при том что мы с дочкой едим мало, меньше 40 евро за один ужин не выходило.
Excelente hotel! Recomendo a todos que desejam conhecer a Sicília e querem ter um lugar tranquilo para relaxar entre dias de passeio. Os membros do staff são todos muito simpáticos e prestativos e o café da manhã é ótimo e com muitas variedades. O hotel fica localizado a 2km da praia, mas há um shuttle gratuito que faz o transporte dos hóspedes. Lá os hóspedes tem acesso gratuito a um beach club com ótimas comidas e drinks. Únicas coisas a serem melhoradas são a TV, com poucas opções de canais, e o Wifi que não funcionou muito bem nos primeiros dias. A academia também pode ser melhorada. Pequenas coisas que não atrapalharam a ótima estadia que tivemos.
NNickiR82We just had the most wonderful stay at La Plage. We arrived and were seen immediately and offered a drink whilst we checked in. We were then given a tour of the hotel and some information on the local area.
We were shown to our room which was a sea front bungalow with a hot tub. Just gorgeous! We had the most beautiful view of Isola Bella.
The next morning we were awake before the birds for an excursion to Etna (for my birthday), before we left someone appeared at the door with a birthday cake and a candle. A really lovely touch. Upon our return the ladies who cleaned the rooms stopped by whilst I enjoyed a glass of wine in the hot tub to say hello and sang me happy birthday too!
The service was impeccable from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff are AMAZING and so attentive. The food is delicious. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this hotel and the people who work there.
Thank you everyone in La Plage for making our stay so perfect. We can’t wait to come back
TThanyalakWe stayed for 2 nights and kind of got a different experience on both nights.
It was in the summer time during weekday stay.
On the first evening we ate at the restaurant and it was very good set menu and food. There was also a party in house. So we decided to eat again the next dinner but turned out we were the only guest staying that night and were the only one dining in…. So food was not so great compared to night before.ore basic and simple dishes.
But it’s understandable, when the chef has to prepare meal just for us….
The place is busier in the weekend with locals.
And some days the pool is packed with people who joined for the day-pass.
Activities advertised on Facebook for children are also mostly on the weekend.. again we had a baby and felt a bit disappointing while we were there for the lack of activities during the weekday.
The grounds are lovely tho, garden, vineyards, olive trees, swimming pool.
SserenalimxlIncredible sea views from room’s balcony, pool and breakfast restaurant. Room a little dated with sticky floors, just wear bedroom slippers. Toilet is clean. Superb location!! Hotel was 3 mins walk to bus stop that takes you to Giardini train station. And 5 mins walk to the heart of town. Try Bam Bar’s granita & have dinner after sundown at any of the restaurants nearby.

AAllison_TravelsWhile the rooms are a bit dated, the pool and beach facilities make this an absolute gem of a resort! The unspoiled views of Isola Bella by the beach and gorgeous view of Mt Etna at the pool are breathtaking.
The restaurant also serves impeccable Sicilian food featuring local favorites like anchovies, swordfish, arancini, and cannolo.
The hotel offers a shuttle bus service to the town center, but we found it more convenient to call taxi when we wanted to move around.
