The hotel is on a fairly busy road, so you need to be careful with your choice of rooms (Rm 203 / Rm 204 over looking mount Etna and the swimming pool and are away from the road and any noise. Rm 106 is on the courtyard so is also quite and large but has no windows, just a door with small windows.
The smell from the Orange / Lemon trees and flowers was wonderful
The swimming pool was well looked after and a nice area to relax
The staff were all very helpful
The breakfast was good, bread rolls, meat, cheese, tomatoes, oranges, cakes... and excellent service and coffee
There is a restaurant on site had good quality food, but the portions are small and very expensive (12 euros for a small plate of pasta / 12 Euros for two small sausages and salad, there is also a service charge of 2 euros per head. We considered this to be very poor value but found a great little Pizzeria in Riposto, (Pizzeria Bella Napoli, Corso Italia 215) about 7 minutes drive away... Not always easy to find on street parking
We drove to see Mount Etna, about a 50 minute drive to the base station where you could catch a cable car.
However we found visiting Mt Etna disappointing and a rip off. It cost 30 euros per person to take you only part the way up by cable car, to get closer to the main crater you have to pay another 30 euros and take a bus..
