“great stay...would go back there anytime if i could”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

LOVED our stay at this hotel. We were using only buses to this location from Trapani, and Angela(staff from hotel) guided me thru via phone how to find small local bus from Catania to the location. She also arranged tours for us...she knows everything on train/bus schedules and places nearby very well. Special thanks to Angela and the rest of staff (including owner Luigi) in the hotel. They treated us like their own family with such sincere care and attentiveness. I DO recommend halfboard option. The dinners for three nights were really good. Also, we found a local bakery called 'I Rusty'...their baked goods were sooo delicious and the owner-lady was very sweet. Not much of tourist attrations within the neighborhood but you can take trains and local buses to other towns like Randazzo or Riposto. Taking buses and trains were abit challenging but gave us special unforgettable memories. We talked about it all the time...and will for long time....hope to go back there for sure.

“Excellent - room, service, food, price”

An all round excellent experience. Cheap, quality and very friendly. Clean, comfy and great location to see Etna or during a cross-Sicily road trip from Catania to Palermo or vice-versa. Much better than hotels that cost twice as much... I recommend this place whole-heartedly, and suggest it should also be the #1 restaurant in Linguaglossa & surrounds. The starters were much better than the mains and dessert; the vegie dished (Caponata etc) were the tastiest. Free internet!

“Best food in all of Sicily!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

This was a charming B&B, excellently placed for visiting / climbing Etna. The hotel is run by fantastic, enthusiastic and helpful people and has a cuisine to die for! We stayed for 3 nights and looked forward to the set menu dinner each night we were there, excellent value and absolutely delicious every time. We travelled all around Sicily for 2 weeks and this was the best food we tasted during our travels. Congratulations to the chef!!

“Lovely stay on the slopes of Mt Etna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2010

I would just like to endorse the other good reviews reviews of this hotel. Our room was fine, with a terrific view of Etna from our balcony. The food was very good, in fact don't consider eating anywhere else in Linguaglossa during your stay, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, there is not much to do in the town itself, although it is perfectly situated for visits to Etna (which was covered in flowers while we were there) or Taormina - a sight not to be missed.
Having seen the traffic in nearby coastal towns such as Giardini Naxos I am certain that we made the correct decision when we picked Linguaglossa.

“A total gem in the heart of Linguaglossa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2010

I loved the hotel and the warmth of the staff. They treated you like family. Angela in reception area bent over backwards to be sure that all of our needs were met. She took care of excursions, transfers, taxis and lost cell phone chargers (from another hotel). She and the owner were wonderful to our family. They also shared in keeping the secret of a surprise family reunion with cousins from the states. This was planned ahead of time from the states and we would correspond via e-mail. The staff was always so prompt in responding to my many e-mails and questions that I had regarding our stay. It was a wonderful hotel in the heart of the town that met and exceeded all of my expectations. I would definitely return to this hotel. It was a great experience with a wonderful owner/staff. Thanks so much. The only thing that I missed was a full length mirror in the bedroom. I hope to return in the near future.
