We have recently returned from our stay in Italy. As part of our itinerary we stayed at the Hotel Punta Nord- Est in Castellammare del golfo, Sicily for six days. This Hotel is excellent! The three star rating is very much underrated. It is as good and better than many of the four star hotels in Italy. The rooms are spacious, well furnished and extremely clean containing all the ameneties needed. The washroom and shower is spacious, clean and well equipped. The staff is friendly and they have a well maintained swimmimg pool area and also a private beach only steps away from the hotel. Cannot say enough about this Hotel. If your planning to see Sicily, make this place one of your stops in your Itinerary. You will not be dissapointed.
