Sono appena tornato da una vacanza scopo relax (pienamente raggiunto). Il titolare Raffaele fa le cose con amore, a cominciare dalla cura di piante e fiori e il pollice verde. Il terrazzino è adorabile, ideale per un pasto genuino e romantico (cucinato dallo stesso Raffaele) oppure per un aperitivo sotto le stelle ascoltando musica. Ma anche il salottino interno merita, è curato e d'atmosfera. Le stanze sono pulite (merito del gentilissimo Rosario) e accoglienti. La posizione è strategica sia per raggiungere il centro di Milo a 800 metri, sia per andare nel bellissimo bosco dell'Ilice che per escursioni sull'Etna oppure, tramite mezzo autonomo, raggiungere le zone di mare (Fondachello, Fiumefreddo, Giardini). Buonissimo il rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliatissimo.

The hotel itself is beautiful and rustic. Great views of Etna by the pool area. There are binoculars in place for closer views. The pool was refreshing. There were always plenty of sun beds and shaded seating areas. There was also public showers, toilets and a shed selling food and drinks from 12pm-7pm The staff are very friendly. They arranged a wonderful trip to Etna. Our room was huge. The shower was great. Air con, hair dryer, toiletries and mini bar fridge were available. Shame there was no bottle opener for the beers. Towels were lovely and soft. They were clean for the most part, apart from being provided with a dirty one on the last day. The only mirror available was in the bathroom. Another in the bedroom with a table would have been nice. WiFi in the room and throughout the hotel was excellent. If you turn left from the hotel, you walk towards the town of Mascali. It feels a little dangerous walking this way, as there is not always a footpath. However, drivers are aware and are respectful. Mascali train station is approximately a 30min walk and worthwhile doing for a trip to Catania at a cost of €4.80. If you book via Trainline, your ticket does not need to be validated. If you turn right from the hotel, you are in Giarrre. There are safer footpaths in this direction and lots of restaurants and bars the further you walk into Giarre. The closing days of the restaurants vary. It’s worth checking before booking. There are also cash machines in Giarre if needed. We were fully aware that the area of the hotel was remote and restaurants don’t open until the evening. What I did find surprising was how much the hotel charged as a result. I expect to pay more at hotels, however €4 (the same price as the beer) for a small Coke soon adds up on a family holiday. Also the breakfast selection is quite small at €8 per person. The hotel restaurant is lovely with attentive staff and a terrific view, but the portions were small at a higher price than anywhere else we tried. We did save some money by using a local cafe in Giarre sometimes for breakfast. On our last day, we found a shop and stocked up on 8 cokes for €5.60. However, the hotel discourages bringing drinks and snacks that has not been purchased there. Despite the price, it’s a wonderful place to stay and we had a great holiday.
