The hotel is set in a lovely location and the drive up Etna is lovely to reach it. However, we do feel there is a bit of ‘marketing’ going on here. The swimming pool shown in the photo on the website looks very different to that at the actual accommodation. The pool was very dirty and needed to be cleaned. The room was clean and adequate, but very dark and no air conditioning. Lack of plug sockets to charge devices too, which is needed as a traveller rather than someone just staying put in one location. The breakfast was basic and average. Overall I would not return to this accommodation.

A fun place to stay if visiting Mt. Etna! We arrived on a very rainy day but were warmly greeted by Stefani and enjoyed our room and the generous breakfasts. The lighting in the room is a bit odd, and the hot water took its time getting to the shower in the morning, but otherwise a good property. The dinners were amazing -- good selections of vegetarian and meat based options, good wine, and great desserts. Allessandra was our server for both dinner and breakfasts and really made a difference, especially with her vast knowledge of the local wines. The location is great for visiting Mt. Etna -- just a drive up the winding road. The property has a nice outdoor area and a pool, but alas, it was too cold and rainy to enjoy. Instead, we read and had great happy hours in the lodge, compete with a pool table, etc.

Ci troviamo a 1.200mt di altitudine in un antico casolare in pietra immerso nel verde del parco. Le aree esterne hanno un ampio terrazzo dove viene servita la colazione e la cena(se le temperature lo permettono) oltre ad una rilassante piscina. Le stanze semplici ma ben arredate. Le zone interne, perfettamente a tema con lo stile siciliano di montagna. Menzione particolare per la cucina: Alessandra la chef crea dei piatti davvero deliziosi, esaltando ancora di piu’ la qualità delle materie prime del territorio. Ottimo punto di partenza per esplorare l’Etna
