“A good experience”

A lovely old building, set in extensive lemon groves. The staff were helpful and friendly. An excellent buffet breakfast was included in the price of the room.There was plenty of free parking space. The restaurant was run separately from the hotel, although it was part of the main building. It was smart and friendly, but we ran out of menu choices before the end of the week! I would have liked the option of soup and some chicken dishes.

“AMAZING!”

Hotel Etna is a perfect base to explore the eastern side of Sicily with the slightly northern town of Taormina's castle ruins, delicate streets and spectacular views within a 10 minute car ride, with easy parking costing just a couple of euro's. Further south from Giarre, around a 30 minute drive is the town of Siracusa which makes for a brilliant day out! For ten euro's per adult (and free parking!!), you gain entry to wander around old ampitheatre's and ruins, fountains and lush gardens with small stalls around selling tourist bits. The town of Giarre itself has small cobbled streets with a random selection of shopping, good for half a day out followed by relaxing at the hotel pool, which has spectacular views (and sounds) of Mount Etna. The hotel was perfect as well, large clean rooms with large bathrooms and a fully stocked fridge every day (the prices for drinks match those of the nearby garage). Breakfast was always very fresh with italian coffee made to order. The pool had plenty of sun loungers, and a lovely shaded area to eat lunch (Id recommend the hotels "Piadina" for lunch!) Dinner at the hotels restaurant was slightly on the expensive side but was well worth it due to how fresh and well cooked it all was. Did take some time for the food to arrive but if you want quality, you have to wait for it to be cooked. The staff couldnt do enough for you and Id recommend the Etna tour as the guide was brilliant! Definately stay at the Hotel Etna!!!

“Lemon orchards”

I've not stayed surrounded by lemon groves before, and Hotel Etna is a delight, with beautiful courtyards, water troughs with glowing goldfish, and the scent of blossom wafting as you walk around. Even the car parking space was on grass discreetly placed around the side of the main building. Our spacious room was in one of the smaller seperate buildings near the orchard. The pool looked very inviting, but April temperatures meant there was no way we were going in, but we sat one evening on the loungers drinking some wine, and watching the light go down. Our host was charming, and went out of his way to help us with a car hire issue, driving us to the airport so we could sort it out, which was really appreciated. Breakfast was really nice, and served with a smile (always a good way to start the day). Lovely place.

“Hotel Etna, Giarre”

Prachtig hotel, schitterend gesitueerd aan de voet van de Etna. De kamers zijn keurig en het personeel zeer vriendelijk (matig Engels, zoals wel meer op Sicilië). Het hotel ligt aan een drukke straat. In de directe omgeving is niet veel te beleven. Dit hotel is wel een prima uitvalsbasis voor daguitstapjes. Het hotel zelf is erg sfeelvol (!), men heeft vanuit het zwembad (en enkele kamers) een prachtig uitzicht op de Etna. Wij zijn er 11 dagen verbleven, een perfecte periode om (per huurauto) de omgeving te verkennen. Klein nadeel. In onze periode waren er wat problemen met de watervoorziening (één dag geen water, enkele dagen alleen koud water), maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Mooi en rustig (achter het hotel gelegen) zwembad. Tevens is er een restaurant. In de directe omgeving zijn verder niet veel eetgelegenheden (jammer!).

“Etna Hotel, qualità e cortesia. Facilità di raggiungimento e vicino a tutto.”

Assolutamente da segnalare! Abbiamo trovato tutto quello che cercavamo in un hotel: qualità, efficienza, disponibilità, cortesia, simpatia, pulizia. L'albergo è molto bello e curato, ottimamente segnalato dai cartelli stradali e quindi facilmente raggiungibile. Le camere sono molto confortevoli, con bagno grande, Tv schermo piatto, aria condizionata, tutto curato nei dettagli. Il personale è sempre a disposizione, giorno e notte, per qualunque esigenza e sempre con il sorriso sulle labbra; offre supporto per l'organizzazione di escursioni, inoltre la posizione dell'hotel rende agevole raggiungere la città il mare e la montagna. Per noi la scelta è stata ottimale e torneremo sicuramente il prossimo anno.

“Hotel Etna : bonne situation geographique”

Hotel bien situé pour visiter l'Etna, Taormina et les environs. Cadre atypique avec dans chambre plutôt bien décorée, entretenue et equipée. Très belle piscine avec vue sur l'Etna. Petit dejeuné à la hauteur de la prestation et restaurant de l'hotel de bonne qualité egalement. Une bonne solution pour ceux qui veulent eviter les prix elevés de Taormina.

“Hotel Etna Giarre Sicile : Magnifique ferme réaménagée .”

Hotel superbe avec une piscine vaste et bien aménagée . Tout l'environnement derrière l'hotel est très beau ( plantation de citroniers , amandiers, avocat etc) et vue imprenable sur l'Etna . Le service est très bien fait et l'équipe fort accueillante et efficace . Seul point noir, l'environnement devant l'hotel, route très encombrée et batiments délabrés . Bref hors mis ce détail une fois dedans ont est au paradis .

“hotel Etna vicino Giarre”

buona l'accoglienza e ottimo il ristorante gestito in un locale ben restaurato di un antico palmento, davvero suggestivo. La cucina è semplice, ma gustosa e tipica della zona. Lo consiglio. L'albergo ha una accogliente area circostante con giardino fiorito, tipico , con vista dell'Etna maestosa mentre si può fare un bagno in piscina.

“Hotel Etna, Giarre April 2010”

Wir waren mit unserem vierjährigen Sohn in diesem Hotel. Das Zimmer war ausgezeichnet, groß, angenehm eingerichtet und ruhig. Die entspannte und freundliche Atmosphäre hat uns allen sehr gefallen Die Anlage des Hotels ist sehr schön. Zur Erkundung der Insel ist das Hotel sehr geeignet, das die Autobahn nicht weit entfernt ist. Besonders hilfreich waren die Besichtigungstipps.
