megaron hotel — Hotel in Pozzallo

Perhaps not the most romantic hotel on Sicily – or even in Pozzallo – but certainly well located with friendly staff and great value for money. It overlooks the local piazza, where families gather at night to mingle and spend time together.

Last but not least, the location is perfect: just a few steps off Lungomare Raganzino and via Garibaldi (main street), the road widens nearby so it's easy to park your car.
