The food was a delightful surprise, with huge portions and a solid breakfast selection. I particularly enjoyed the homemade Caprese salad and the excellent pasta! That view from the terrace was stunning, making our morning cherished.

Perfect for adventurous families
The location is amazing! We enjoyed the breakfast, a plethora of options including fresh pastries and eggs which fueled us for our hike!
It wasn't exactly cheap, but acceptable for what we got.

The proximity to the climbing tours made this place an ideal base for our adventure. The room was well-appointed and comfortable, and the staff provided top-notch service. Enjoying fresh local fish at the restaurant was a highlight, paired with an excellent breakfast that fueled us for our Mt. Etna hike. However, the signage for parking was unclear, which caused initial confusion, and the limited dining options outside of breakfast were less than desirable.

great stay but not without issues
The room was lovely with a great vibe, very comfortable for our group. The setting was ideal for climbers, with access to food areas and information spots. We enjoyed the mountain view from the hotel that added to the overall experience.
However, parking was a bit crowded at times.

Great hiking excursions available nearby.
Unfortunately, our stay was marred by issues. The breakfast area was messy and didn't have enough food when we arrived. Additionally, there was a persistent noise from the bathroom that kept us awake at night. I expected a better experience based on previous reviews.

will certainly stay here again
The location is on point for exploring Mt. Etna. Our double room had a flat-screen TV, wardrobe, private bathroom with shower, and free toiletries. Breakfast served fresh pastries and juice. Convenient parking on-site makes it easy to come and go. The terrace had stunning views of the surrounding landscape, perfect for relaxing after a hike.

We had a great time staying here with friends! The place is super close to EtnAvventura adventure park and perfect for our Mt. Etna hike. The room was comfortable, and we enjoyed the food options available. Just a heads up, the restaurant can get busy, so plan accordingly if you want to dine there.
Unfortunately, the breakfast was a bit of a letdown. We arrived near the end, and there wasn't much left to eat. The tables looked a little messy.
