I had a delightful stay at the hotel, which offers a fantastic view of Mount Etna and boasts spacious rooms. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and the food was a highlight, especially dinner with its Italian specialties. However, the quiet atmosphere in the evenings and the temporary closure of certain dining options were minor drawbacks.

I had a lovely week at this hotel during a golf holiday. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, which really made our stay special. The rooms, while comfortable and spacious, could use a bit of an upgrade in terms of amenities. The location is quite remote, so consider renting a car to explore more of the beautiful surroundings. The dining options were decent but not exceptional, and the atmosphere at the bar could use some liveliness in the evenings.

My stay at the hotel near Mount Etna was exceptional. The views were breathtaking, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The golf course provided fun challenges, and while the maintenance had room for improvement, the overall experience was fantastic.

I spent a week at this lovely resort, which was a perfect base for both relaxing and golfing. The golf course offered amazing views and challenging holes, although the service at the hotel wasn't as consistent. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a great view of the volcano. While the outdoor pool was fantastic and the food at the restaurant was excellent, the service at the spa left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a nice spot for a relaxing getaway, but there's room for improvement in customer service.
