Mangia's Brucoli Resort

Amazing! Fun activity for all, a fun hour of entertainment and learning with a tasty finish. Warm and friendly team hosting.

We had the absolute pleasure of attending a pizza-making class with Claudia and her wonderful team, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, it was fun, engaging, and full of energy. There was live music, flowing wine, and of course, a fantastic demonstration on how to make pizza. Claudia brought so much joy and excitement to the class, making every moment enjoyable. We all thoroughly loved it. Would I recommend it? Without a doubt, absolutely!

We stayed in Mangia's Brucoli for three nights in August 2025. We arrived by plane to Catania airport and we rented a car. From there it took us 40 minutes to reach the resort We initially booked a Deluxe King Room however upon our arrival we were informed that we were upgraded to Suite King Room. Room was very spacey and comfortable. It consisted of a bedroom, living room with a sofa(which in our case was also used as a king size bed for our son) and separate toilet and showers in the middle of these two rooms. The planning of the Suite King Room was very cosy. Both rooms were equipped with TV. The hotel has a huge territory and lots of amenities such as tennis courts, pools, shops, beauty salons etc. We really enjoyed the landscape design, flora and fauna within hotel grounds In addition to the indoor premises the room had an exterior area with two shezlongs and outdoor furniture(which we mostly used to dry our swimsuits/swim trunks) The room was cleaned in the morning as well as a turndown service in the evenings We never had an issue with cleanness and always had very quick response whenever we need something to be delivered to the room There was a big choice of restaurants. Sicilian, Grill, sushi, pizza and open buffet restaurants are the ones i remember. The open buffet breakfast was the richest one we have ever seen in European resorts. Our favourite parts were Sicilian cheeses and deserts(like canolli) The breakfast continued till 11 which was great. We had lunches at the bar next to the pool. Good selection of sandwiches and bowls and a wide variety of drinks. We preferred the Grill restaurant for the dinners. Tasty and fresh seafood and meat. Even though i was planning to visit some of the local restaurants in the region outside the hotel since we were happy with the quality of food we had all our dinners in the hotel The main pool was quite big with many shezlongs around it. But we preferred to stay at the beach. All our family members including our 8 y.o. son are good swimmers. So we really enjoyed the rocky beach where the water got deep quite steeply. For families with adults or children who are not good swimmers i.m.o. the pool would be a better option. On are checkout day we were provided by a complimentary courtesy room because we had a late evening return flight. For this and for helping us with minor issues we had we would like to thank to Rocco from front office. Overall we really enjoyed our time we spent in this resort and we are planning to have a longer stay next summer

All in all a good holiday. Hotel is remote, you need a hire car. Far the main highlights, Taomina, Palermo etc. Hotel is friendly. Maybe under staffed in the bars and restaurants especially. These turned out to be very slow. Became very crowded the second week in August and they couldn’t cope in the sea decking and pool areas. Usual types staking out of lounger’s so was difficult to find one on some days. Stake your claim early!! The buffet became a bit of a zoo feeding time but that was down to the guests I guess. Restaurants are ok. Expensive for food and drinks. Rooms are ok, cleaned and tidy, Slightly small we upgraded when we got here. Average/good place and not 5 stars in my book. For info, best part of our holiday was a cool air bnb in Palermo. Hotel is just too remote. Just my opinion though

Stunning setting! Clean rooms. Car best but taxis are available. Train station 4 miles away and trains are quick, clean, comfy & cheap. Staff amazing, especially Morena, Guilia & Isabella in the Lime Bar! So friendly, witty, helpful & quick service every time. Loved it! Restaurants could have more choices on their menu but very nice. Lime Bar & Riva menus were best for us but they stop serving food at 6pm. Brucoli is worth a visit. A ghost town until after 6pm. Surf House is well worth a visit, Guilio is so welcoming & helpful. Many excursions to do but again if not driving, taxis & trains are required! We hope to be back! Loved it!
