"The hotel is beautifully restored. Too bad we only stayed 1 night , it would have been nice to stay another day and chill out in the pool. We enjoyed an aperitivo on the rooftop and the sunset was gorgeous. The staff we very nice and showed us the whole place . Conchita in the restaurant was very nice and Omma and the front desk Valerie and the rest of the staff were all nice."

"Run-down hotel. The pool needs to be looked after, the food was horrible, and the room had a kitchen but absolutely nothing in it - no utensils, pots and pots or plates. The breakfast and dinner is served in the hotel lobby. There are holes in the wall on the balcony, the trash was overflowing in the communal bins and the room was SO hot because the air conditioner couldn’t keep the room cold."

This hotel reflects the richness of history and culture of the city and the hosts make a personal effort to combine great hospitality quality with kindness and charm.

The suite was exceptional, and extremely clean. The breakfast is the best we have had in two weeks of touring Sicily. The people who run it are very accommodating. Can't say enough good things about it. We even stayed an extra night.

Roberta was the best hostess we have ever had during a travel stay. The property was new and well stocked with everything we needed (water, coffee, tea, glasses, cups, bottle opener to name a few). Great personal care items and comfortable bedding. The best however besides Roberta’s charming and welcoming personality was the spectacular breakfast she made to order! Eggs Benedict, omelettes, crepes, waffles etc besides other buffet style items but the icing on the cake was delicious Sicilian...

Located on top of a hill overlooking a valley with Greek ruins. A full moon lighting the night. All seen from the balcony or your bed. Lovely grounds and thoughtful staff make this a great place to unwind, and the beach front is only a 5 minute drive away. The only negative is no lunch service, but dinner is worth the wait.

A beautiful property that is well maintained. The view from the balcony in our room was incredible and the property gardens and pool are gorgeous. But the best part of our stay is the wonderful staff. They go out their way to be kind and helpful and we really appreciated all their efforts. They even provided a free olive oil tasting that we greatly enjoyed. It also is worth noting the quality of the food in the restaurant was exceptional. We had a wonderful visit all around.

This was a beautiful and peaceful hotel with the most amazing view of Mt Etna. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to assist us in all our needs. We had all our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel restaurant, and they were excellent. We only wish the pool had longer opening hours, as we were not able to use it while we were out touring during the day.

A fantastic location, wonderful reception, incredible restarant. A perfect getaway spot for romantics, foodies, wine lovers, and active adults. Do a wine tasting, hike to the incredible view and be sure to enjoy dinner. The rabbit pasta is amazing. This is one of my top destinations in Sicily.

This hotel had a lot of local charm. The breakfast room was absolutely beautiful and the buffet had a lot of choices. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The immediate area had a good amount of dining options.

Excellent and very large apartment accomodation accessing Mt Etna, Catania and Taormina. Big apartment terrace views of Catania and the sea and back door views directly on Etna. Exceptional made to order breakfast from local cafe delivered to the room. Apartment washer/laundry facilities perfectly met our needs.
Great accommodation at great value.
