Fabulous

Direkt an der Seilbahn zum Ätna. Location right at the cable car to Etna.

Tausende Touristen im Frühstücksrestaurant. Busloads of tourists stormed the breakfast venue.

Unforgettable two nights, we would have loved to stay an extra night.

The atmosphere of the whole location was relaxed and staff made you feel like they really wanted you there.

Close proximity to all the activities available. The quality of the food at the restaurant was excellent with all local produce from the area.

Good place to stay when visiting Etna

Nice refuge. All what you would expect from a 'riffugio'; No luxury but practical. Very friendly staff.

Restaurant could have been better

Great location but poor hygine

Great location to explore Etna. Breakfast was ok, but confusing service.

Bed sheets had filthy spots, single beds were really hard. Shower cabin was small. When we came air in the room was smelly.

We loved it and look forward to return.

We had a great time - the location was fantastic - walk out the door and in the middle of everything - cafes, restaurants, sightseeing, the city to walk around, restaurants near by. Charming.

The water drainage in the shower was terrible.
