Hotels near Chiesa di San Giuseppe in Zafferana Etnea

The location was great! It takes you only 15-20 minutes to arrive at the craters of Etna (Crateri Silvestri). The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips for our trips. The wellness area was wonderful too and we spent a lot of time there. The rooms are good and facilities too. We definitively recommend you to stay there!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We are a family of 6 and had an appar**ent with adjoining bedrooms and small balcony terrace overlooking the swimming pool. The room set up was perfect for us. The hotel is spotlessly clean. There are two swimming pools to enjoy. Convenient free onsite parking. Breakfast in the hotel was really good with lots of variety. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, eg assisting to heat up baby milk for me several times daily and assisting to make small amendments at breakfast to cater for dietary requirements. The roof terrace of this hotel has spectacular views of Etna and the sea… it is available for everyone to go and sit up there We would happily stay at this hotel again. Within walking distance, there is a local pizzeria and within a 5-10 minute drive there are plenty of restaurants at Acitrezza. We also took a taxi to explore Catania which can be arranged for you at reception Overall a wonderful stay. It’s a great choice.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Hotel Biai Verde in Catania Italy. Its an old school elegant type of hotel on the coast - they were in the process of refinishing the outside access to the sea. Although the pool does not officially open until June (I snuck in) and its a great pool. The Breakfast was included and was really significant. Parking was free as was the NET - Room was very clean and they have old school maids that do a nice job - the Hotel has not yet been impacted by the green wave so you get new towels every day. Staff was kind and helpful. If returning to the aera I would stay there again. Special thanks to Matt from the Front Desk - he was very help before we arrived and attentive while we were there and he helped make our stay a great one - a positive attitude goes a long way!

Splendida accoglienza di Raffaele e lo staff. Albergo piacevole, cucina eccellente, terrazza mozzafiato. Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Il borgo di Milo tranquillo e delizioso, accanto a cantine dalla storia affascinante (I vigneri tra tutti) e a due passi dai Monti Sartorius, che offrono uno splendido punto di vista dell'Etna. Speriamo di tornare presto!

The host Ruben and his friend are very helpful and made us very welcome :) Everything was perfect, nice place, quiet, spotless clean and everything is up to standard. Rooms are modern and comfortable especially the bed. There is a nice surrounding around Althea Etna Garden where you can enjoy breakfast outside or have a drink. In front there is also a public garden.

The hotel is very well located in the green, very carefully managed and passionately. Two comments, one on logistics from nearby railways and it takes a few hours to get used to the trains passing, the other on staff cleaning rooms that arrive in the morning resulted I was a stupid and awkward man of things waking me up. We will certainly return because the star restaurant deserves more than one visit.

We stayed for three nights as we were attending a wedding locally. The hotel was lovely and the staff were first class. Everyone was very helpful and extremely friendly. Unfortunately the pool and spa area were out of action but it didn't matter as we spent time outside around the pool. The barman was also very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks he served. I would definitely recommend the hotel for a short visit as there isn't much to do locally

The hotel is perfect for enjoying the sea and is very comfortable in the centre. The structure is new and very clean. The price quality was excellent. The rooms are well furnished and with the refrigerator. Also very recommended for a varied and abundant breakfast. The staff, all young, is innocent. The windows of the first floor are very small. I liked it and I hope I'll be back soon.

I have just returned from a lovely week here and I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. The staff are great, friendly and very helpful, quite a bit of English is spoken so it's fairly easy to get help with arranging things such as taxis, trains etc. It really helps when it comes to my general incompetence with the Italian language. My room was very clean and perfectly comfortable with air con which I imagine you will be very thankful of in the summer months! The pool area is also clean, tidy and well equipped with loungers and chairs, there's even a small bar where you can get what you need at a reasonable price. I chose to eat at the restaurant in the evenings and the food was excellent, a good selection and fairly priced in my opinion, portion sizes are also generous. There is a beach fairly nearby, say 1-2 km which you can walk to or there are bicycles available at the hotel if you are feeling confident, the roads are a bit ”exciting”, however this is not unusual in Sicily/Italy, there are always taxis and these are not expensive and probably safer. It is advantageous to have your own transport as it is a fair walk to the centre of Giarre and of course you will want to visit the many stunning sites on and around Etna itself, there is ample off-road parking at the hotel. In summary this is a fabulous place to use as a base to explore Etna and the many tourist hotspots up and down the coast, it's a very calm and relaxing place with a nice atmosphere, a good mix of nationalities and excellent food at a very reasonable price. It is the staff that made my stay so enjoyable, they are all lovely people and genuinely friendly, this to me makes a trip special and makes me want to return. Have a mentioned the lemon grove behind the hotel? You will have to go find out about that for yourself... Grazie mille Etna Hotel, see you next time!
