The hotel has a lovely country feel, especially with views over the golf course, and the suite we upgraded to was spacious and pleasant. However, the service could vary quite a bit, and the breakfast left something to be desired. The remote location means you need a car to explore properly, and some modernization is definitely needed in certain areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the views of Mount Etna from my room were stunning, and the breakfast offered a great selection. However, the hotel is in dire need of maintenance and the service was inconsistent. It's clear that some areas haven't been taken care of, which detracted from my overall enjoyment.

I had a fantastic stay at this resort, where the friendly and attentive staff truly made my experience special. The golf course was challenging and offered stunning views, and I enjoyed the diverse dining options available, though I wished the clubhouse restaurant had been open more often. The room was comfortable with a lovely view, but I would recommend having a car to explore the beautiful surrounding areas of Sicily.
