This hotel is perfect as a base to explore the eastern side of the island, conveniently located between Mount Etna and the sea. The hotel is lovely - clean and modern with everything you need including a pool. It is a family run business, and they could not have been more lovely - nothing was too much trouble. Our flight was delayed and we had problems picking up the hire car, but they waited up to check us in at 1am! The breakfast buffet was ample with lots of fresh fruit and freshly baked pastries/cakes and omelettes from their own hens. You can order dinner at the hotel at an extra cost, but all lovingly prepared and we had the best tiramisu on the holiday! Would definitely recommend!

Almost perfect!
This family owned establishment has exceptional service. The owners go out of their way to please you. Breakfast is abundant with the typical fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, cold cuts and homemade cakes and tarts --eggs upon request. Rooms are very clean if somewhat stuffy because a/c is turned off during the day to economize energy. The place is relatively newly renovated so everything sparkles. It is well located for all the local sights. Ample free parking, good wifi. Gorgeous pool overlooking olive groves with the sea in the distance. What's not to love? The beds are hard and older bones will feel it in the morning.

Amazing
Enjoyed our stay tremendously, we were greeted like Royalty! Upon checking in we had welcome cocktails and pastry on the terrace over looking an amazing view and an inviting swimming pool. The Inn is family own, built by the owner and managed by his wife and 2 daughters. The property is stunning, it's immaculate with incredible views. We had the privilege of staying for dinner, everything was amazing! The food is prepared by the lady of the house, everything was delicious and presentation were amazing! It was truly fantastic to enjoy an authentic Sicilian Family Meal!
Our room was well appointed with a large comfortable bed, great balcony overlooking the breathtaking views. The location was ideal, 30 minutes or less from Mount Etna or if your coming from Taormina it was about the same distances. The inn offered a great breakfast, had free parking, great wifi and fantastic hospitality! My biggest regret we should have stayed an extra day to enjoy the facilities, such as the inviting swimming pool!

Perfect!
This hotel is amazing! The buildings and gardens are beautiful, with incredible views both of the sea and of Etna, which looks stunning. Federica and Sara who looked after us were so warm and welcoming and incredible helpful. They work very hard but without any fuss creating a very relaxed atmosphere for all the guests. The food was delicious; simple dishes made from local (many their own) ingredients. Freshly made cakes and pastries for breakfast including a gluten free cake especially baked for me! Perfect.

Perfect boutique hotel
What an amazing find! The hotel is perfectly located in a quaint Sicilian town with amazing views of Mt Etna and the sea. The property is expertly restored including a beautiful pool and is priced well below the nearby resorts. However the most impressive feature about this hotel is the staff. Sara and her colleagues are the epitome of true hospitality and made sure every detail of our stay was special. We would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Felt Like One of The Family
We were on a lengthy trip through Europe with our 7 year old and this hotel was like stopping at home. Every need was anticipated before we thought of it. The grounds are stunning and the location was perfect for exploring Mt. Etna and surroundings. We were sad to leave as I have never felt so at home staying somewhere. Sara and her family were so welcoming - greeting is with cake and prosecco. Each evening at dinner they had a fun video shown outside for the children and the food was heavenly.

Geheimtipp am Aetna
Wunderschön renovierte Villa, ein Idyll! Links sieht man den Küstenstreifen mit Meer, rechts den Aetna. Tolles Frühstück und sehr leckeres Abendessen. Umsorgt wird man (auch mit Tipps zu Ausflügen) von der Tochter des Hauses. Sie liesr einem jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab. Selten so toll erholt, 100% Weiterempfehlung.

Hotelanlage mit familiärer Leitung.
Die Hotelanlage befindet sich im Osten von Sizilien in sehr ruhiger Lage. Die Familie ist sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und stets bemüht, dass es den Gästen an nichts fehlt. Was ihnen auch sehr gut gelingt.
