Varied and sensational breakfast selection with pastries and ham, as example. Overall marvellous and brilliant location just off public transport, the cable car to Etna vulcano and the mountain due to snow.

I had very nice 2-night stay here! I asked for triple room and it was well decorated with nice bathroom. Having a roll-in shower, a hairdryer, and a bidet was a bonus. The location was perfect, short walk to the Cable Car at 9.00am, and a restaurant and easily accessible. I liked staying here.

The location was good and brilliant, a 10-15 minute walking distance from Craters Silvestri of Mount Etna. The property was set in a busy area. We truly enjoyed the quadruple room which was modest.

Had perfect stay for Etna visit and the weather was clear. Outstandingly friendly and gentle stuff, gave a lot of tourist information. There where a private safe, a mini-bar and central heating in my triple room. Excellant remote location near to Catania and the sea, the cable car to Etna vulcano, and Nicolosi. Apart from that, La Montagnola was 15 minutes away by driving.

Had a peaceful stay for Etna visit, everything was superb. They gave us a nice size queen room with standard breakfast included. The location was best possible, just off the cable car station, and hikes to the vulcano, and the free parking was an excellent bonus.

The location is unbeatable and magnificent, close enough to the hike to the top, the cafeteria, and Rifugio Sapienza on Etna Volcano, you cannot beat it. The staff are gentle, managed the parking right outside. The breakfasts are varied and excellent with suprisingly good coffee and very sweet almond milk, for instance.

The view was good here. It had a magnificent and unbeatable location really close to a hike, restaurant, and the cable car. Plus, it was about 25 minutes' drive to Etna.
