Luxury Hotels in Zafferana Etnea, Sicily

"The location of the property was great but the room wasn’t very clean with dust bunnies and dead bugs. The property claims to have a 24 hr bus shuttle to and from the Catania airport but it doesn’t exist. You have to call a taxi to get to the airport. There was only a thin sheet on the bed so I had to use towels for additional warmth. "

"Great location. Easy access to Taormina via the shuttle bus. Fantastic view of the sea and mount Aetna."

"Staff friendliness. Everyone was extremely helpful. Family owned experience. Hotel rooms were clean. Housekeeping was beyond satisfactory. Timeless luxury is the perfect definition for the entire experience."

"Room Tired and needs uplift - paintwork, shower handle loose. Staff friendly and helpful. Great variety at breakfast. Restaurant a bit pricey."

"Bitterly disappointed with this hotel. On reading the website when booking it advertises sea, relaxation and comfort. However on arrival we were informed the pool, sea swimming and the dive centre were closed all of which open on 1st June as listed under the “services subsection” of the website. At the spa centre again the same story with the sauna, jacuzzi, Turkish bath and steam room all closed. On asking why “just because they are”. Presumably again open on 1st June. The hotel itself is a little tired being a conference / venue hotel that sprawls along the cliff edge. It is not in the centre or near Catania (7kms away) with a poor and sporadic bus service into the actual town. Taxis are available and Ubers can bring you back. The staff are generally very friendly and accommodating. Really there is very little to do outside of the “open / high season” here and we would not recommend this hotel for visiting Catania as the website is misleading in what you actually get. We met other groups and they felt the same with everything being closed. "

"No notes - best views, impeccable service, spotless rooms, incredible breakfast. We had the best stay and highly recommend."

"Friendly and relaxing atmosphere and staff were helpful and offered advice on where to eat/ visit. Honesty bar was great and breakfasts were excellent with loads of choice - would recommend."

"Stunning hotel, beautiful location and beach. Amazing place to stay in Taormina."

"We really enjoyed our stay, the rooms were clean and the staff were helpful and friendly."
