Jeg vil ikke ligefrem kalde det et femstjernet, nok nærmere et tostjernet. Wifi kunne ikke nå vores værelse, værelset var slidt og hotellet virkede nærmest lukket. Der var ingen vand på vores værelse, og i stedet for at give os et nyt, måtte vi i stedet vente på, at det blev fikset. Det eneste positive der er at sige er, at fra hotellet tager den en halv time i bil til Etna.

Modern hotel missing some charme to be 5 stars
Modern spacious rooms (not all with full sea view), nice spa but expensive (24€) and open only some afternoons, breakfast could be improved (no fresh fruit salad or fresh orange juice, no vegan products or other milks) served in a place almost without windows.

Bell'hotel a Zafferana
Bella struttura vicina al centro di Zafferana. Buon punto da cui visitare l'Etna e la zona del catanese. Stanze grandi e pulizia giornaliera ma nei 4 giorni di permanenza non sono stati mai cambiati gli asciugamani del bagno. Colazione abbondante e varia. La connessione internet a volte saltava ma era forse dovuto al cattivo tempo. Bella piscina esterna ma non utilizzabile per le basse temperature avute nel periodo del soggiorno. È presente però la piscina interna riscaldata della spa che ha il difetto di essere solo a pagamento, poiché inclusa nel percorso spa. Non abbiamo provato il ristorante della struttura ma in zona ci sono molti posti dove mangiare bene al giusto prezzo. In conclusione una buona esperienza.

l'Etna dernière étape de notre voyage en Sicile, Esperia dernier hôtel : le plus cher et le moins bien. Honteux de payer ce prix dans un Hotel ou même l’accès à la piscine extérieure est payant ! et le petit déjeuner : pas de pain frais, du jus de fruit en brique, pas d'oeuf, ni d'omelette... des cuillères en plastique

Bello l,hotel malgestito
L,hotel e' molto bello e in una splendida posizione.le stanze sono confortevoli e molto grandi, bella la piscina e il centro benessere, peccato che la pulizia in generale e nelle stanze e' molto deludente, deludente anche la colazione senza niente di salato,per quanto riguarda il centro benessere consiglierei l,acqua calda nella piscina interna se uno vuole la piscina fredda va all,esterno....manca la wi fI nelle camera.
