Ramacca
06/03/2025: Nightmare The purpose of the trip to Ramacca is the written test for a competition. I find this hotel as the only solution for staying overnight in the town. Having arrived at the facility, loaded with luggage and visibly tired, I ask if it is possible to pay at checkout to go straight to the room. "Oh no, now".... I already understand that the hotel's philosophy is care and availability towards the customer. Once I open the bedroom door, I am overwhelmed by the cold: the walls and ceiling of both the bathroom and the bedroom are full of damp stains and mould. Furthermore, the room is enriched by details such as holey curtains and old furniture (I mean broken, to be thrown away). I surrender to the reality of the facts and decide to lie down on the bed, heartbroken by the uncomfortable living room, but.... Incredibly hard mattress. Let's say that sleeping on the bed or on the floor would make little difference; impossible to rest on your stomach because the ribs are affected. Some features of the bathroom: apart from scattered stains in the tiles, the activity proposed by the structure is nice: avoid the falling plaster! I'll explain: when you take a shower, certainly due to the water vapour, pieces of plaster come off and fall towards the floor, almost simulating a snowfall to remind you of the proximity to Etna. Excellent find by the hotel. It's a shame that it fell on my freshly cleaned hair, still wet, and that it also fell on the bathroom table, this time a nice large piece, I want to point out. Another peculiarity of the bathroom: it emits noises, strange whistles, I don't know if it's from the water heater or the toilet tank. The fact is that last night, twice, I woke up terrified by these mysterious whistles. I will have slept three hours if all goes well, but the next day I would only have to face the reason why I was in that dilapidated structure: an important competition. The structure has a restaurant/pizzeria; I had a pizza without praise or infamy, but the service in the room was kind and helpful. The ingredients of many pizzas are funny: among the toppings, you will often find peas, eggs, thin slices. I forgot: although there is a kitchen, breakfast service is not provided. For a three star hotel I expected breakfast included; Furthermore, it is good practice for hoteliers, in the absence of the service, to make arrangements with other structures such as bars or pastry shops. But, I remember how at the beginning of the review, the availability and care towards the customer is lacking. So sleepless and fasting, I go to try my competition, hoping to soon forget this paradoxical experience. I advise everyone, if they are forced to go to Ramacca, to arm themselves with a technical tent and a warm sleeping bag, because the surrounding area is full of green areas and it would certainly be a more convenient and comfortable solution.
26/02/2025: Central location. Nice room with a "lived-in" character. Very courteous staff. They don't serve breakfast. €40 single room, room only.
