Hi- there are some reviews in the hotel reviews section (including mine) but none are very recent, and we haven't been there for 6 years. Have a read, though, they all seem very true and factual. We loved it and would certainly go back, but it's not everyone's taste and you do need to pay extra for that important balcony and view. The town of Saint Agata is only 100 yards from the hotel, has some nice bars/ restaurants, not many shops, fairly good transport links. Hotel prices were quite expensive, bars etc were cheaper, but Italy is generally quite dear.
