Reviews and Ratings
We had a wonderful week at Etna Hotel with our family, which exceeded our expectations with spacious rooms and a lovely bathroom. The warm welcome and helpful service made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was convenient for exploring Mount Etna, Catania, and Taormina, although the noise from the nearby road was a downside. The dining experience was simple but delightful, served in a charming courtyard.
The hotel offers lovely and spacious rooms, though not extravagant. The service is particularly welcoming and helpful. Its exceptional location near Giaraa provides a serene setting with convenient access to attractions. The dining experience, while enjoyable, could benefit from a broader selection. The facilities are well-kept, enhancing the overall stay.
My stay at Etna Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms had a nice personal touch, perfect for my family with 4 kids. The suite we had was spacious, with high ceilings, and very cool. The service was exceptional, offering amazing volcano excursions. The location, although close to a noisy road, still provided great views of Etna. The dining experience was lovely with a wide selection. Overall, a great value for money.
After our stay at Etna Hotel, my family with 4 kids had a most wonderful week. The rooms were spacious, with high ceilings and individual entrances to the common areas, offering a cool retreat. The service was extremely pleasant, and the staff, most of whom spoke excellent English, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location, amidst beautiful orchards and close to main attractions like Etna, Taormina, and Gole Alcantara, provided easy access to explore. The dining experience was decent, with room for improvement in variety. The facilities were great overall, adding to our comfortable and enjoyable stay.
I found the hotel to be a cozy place with friendly staff, offering a variety of amenities. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, though the breakfast could have had more options. The location was great for exploring the area, and the dining experience was pleasant overall.
