    A beautiful gardened resort with fabulous staff. Room was beautiful with amazing view of Mt Etna. The most extensive breakfast - and absolutely fabulous. Dinner was very special.

    Top end facility with good food and luxury, but with it comes a certain clientele

    Breakfast selection was almost all sweets. On day two, we did find some darker breads and cold cuts on the buffet. With the luxury comes a certain clientel, whose Mercedes limo driver thinks they can cut you off and make you wait because you only drive a little rental Audi. But this is not the property’s doing of course. Except for the view of Etna, you do feel a little bit locked in at the pool area. No sea view or wide landscapes.

    This property exudes luxury and refinement. It is nicely located with a beautiful garden surrounding it. Everything is well maintained and functional. The staff is very friendly, fluent in English and ready to help. The room and bathroom were very sizeable and comfortable.

    An oasis of luxury

    The location is a bit out of the way, but it has the advantage that you don’t have to fight your way out of a built-up area to get to where you want to go. A good base for exploring Mt Etna. Used the pool, but to be honest in April it was still too cool to stay in for long.

    If one would want to complain at all, one could mention that the current restaurant concept is too “limited” as it only provides super “Michelin-Star” like food, but does not offer a normal lunch and dinner menue.

    Although embedded in an area almost “offroad” and with railroad nearby, this is a nice hotel in a Lovely surrounding in the middle of a tree nursery, green with of a bunch of plants and palm trees and flowers, a nice boutique style hotel. Interesting architecture, friendly staff. The separate suites are quite Bauhaus style and may be a little too uncharming, even if they have their own jacuzzi (which was quite cool)

    Everything was amazing.

    I really recommend for a couple who loves gourmet experiences and want to relax in a quiet and beautiful view of Etna and the Sea Coast at the same time, especially if you want to be away of the crowded city. I really enjoyed the experience and the food was superb. Breakfast as well was really outstanding.

    Our room was above the kitchen which had a ventilation system just under the window of our bedroom. So this room is not for people who expect ideal silence. The wifi was poor.

    Only things i didnt like 1) outdoor pool isnt heated 2) the extra bed for the kids is very flimsy and uncomfortable 3) there is only 1 restaurant which is michelin star- so you cant eat there casually for dinner with the family, which meant we had to drive every night for dinner. There are lovely restaurants nearby in Riposto though

    Beautiful hotel close to Taormina and Etna volcano. Large rooms, comfortable. The staff was amazing, they were available 24/7 to book restaurants and activities locally for us, which was amazing.

    They should tell you in advance the all the surroundings are burnt due to a recent fire in the area. It was shocking when we were approaching. Fortunately the hotel itself and its gardens were saved.

    It is a piece of paradise in Sicily

    I have no critical comments whatsoever.

    The owners and the sons of this property have created much more than a hotel. You are surrounded by their plantation of exotic trees and flowers. There is visual beauty and interest that creates an experience you will enjoy and never forget.

    Location may be a little bit uncomfortable for tourists without car, but it is possible and worth staying here anyway. And it is possible to take a Taxi from the hotel to the nearest train station.

    Absolutely everything was perfect! Charming place with stunning views, beautiful surrounding, great garden, extremely helpful people, making you feel really as extraordinary guest. :) absolutely delicious breakfast with great variety of pastries. Beautiful apartment with very comfortable bed. It was a pleasure to stay here! Absolutely recommend to everyone! I wish we could stay here longer and hope we could come back here again.

    The staff were all brilliant and super friendly, the facilities were beautiful and really clean, asthetically the grounds couldn't be faulted. The rooms were great and really comfortable, with spacious bathrooms and shower cubicles too. They put on a brilliant complimentary breakfast each morning and hold themed dinners on certain evenings. In a good location to travel to different areas, all within a reasonable time frame.
