Etna Hotel

Die Lage, tolles Konzept

Extrem hellhörig

It is very nice place to be, everything was clean and in good shape, the swimmingpool was perfect, and breakfast and diner where excellent. A compliment for everyone how works there!

Etna Hotel is a lovely old Sicilian country house with stunning views of Mount Etna. Rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always attentive. The hotel also arranges volcano tours on certain days, which are well worth doing. The main downside is the location—you’ll need a car to really enjoy the area. The hotel can arrange car hire or taxis into Giarre, but walking isn’t ideal. Dining nearby is limited; the closest option is the Volcano Pub up the road, though the walk there can feel a bit hair-raising. Overall, highly recommended for the incredible views and excellent service.

It was very charming, the lady at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. The pool was nice. The room was clean and comfortable with AC and a fridge.

The pool closed at 8pm so we weren't able to use it when we got back from a hot day of touring. Some light from outside disturbed our sleep a little. It was a bit far from Taormina and so that was a little inconvenient for us.

If you are looking for an authentic, idyllic and slightly out of the way Sicilian retreat, the Etna Hotel covers all those bases. The views of Etna from the outside dining area are fantastic. All the hotel staff could not have made my stay any more enjoyable than it was. As an example, the lead restaurant staff member on my last evening there recommended the best dish (pasta in tomato sauce) which was the best meal I had during my stay at the hotel! Another being, one morning during breakfast my favourite song came on (80s hits radio) the radio station and one of the staff members was kind enough to put the volume up a bit so I could listen to it. I became familiar with most of the staff during my stay and got to know a few on first name terms. They were so happy when I was also able to speak a little Italian with them. The Etna tour excursion which leaves directly from the hotel was a memorable experience and one which anyone else choosing to visit can do and I would fully recommend. At the time of writing its around 60 euros per person. If I had one suggestion, providing a small excursion to see the historic sites of Catania would have made an already great holiday even more magnificent! I highly recommend and I believe that I will visit the hotel again in the near future as there is still so much to explore on the east coast of Sicily. Mark

Casale ben sistemato, ottimo posto per vedere l 'Etna di sera nella sua maestosità
