The staff very much made this hotel worth maximum ratings. They were able to accommodate my need for two separate beds without issue and honor what I thought I was booking. The breakfast was great and made the stay a good value. The gym and pool close at 2000 - it would be nice if these were open longer.

Clean room, large bathroom and shower. Reception Staff very friendly and helpful. Balcony and views beautiful. Breakfast was lovely quality and great choice. Carpets are tied and general decor needs attention (a little battered). Gym not good, no treadmill and bike seat broken/damaged. Didn’t bother using 😕

Pleasant surprise, off the beaten track

Thank you for a suprisingly and nice stay. We choose this hotel because we needed a place to stay when our originally planned accommodation was cancelled. Instead we had to rely on Hotels.com and the friendly staff at Esperia Palace. The hotel area is clean and quiet, and with the air/climate some higher up, was refreshing now in August. Nice rooms with spacious and clean bathrooms. We hadn’t planned for visiting this area close to the volcano, but Zafferana Etnea is a lovely town. Just know that you have to walk 15 min from the hotel to get into the centre, and that the streets from the hotel is not that welcoming. Nice Spa and Pool-area. PS: remember to bring swim cap.

Séjour d'une nuit avec 2 enfants, nous avons choisi l'établissement pour profiter des piscines. Hôtel, chambre, accueil et petit déjeuner très satisfaisants. Nous avons par contre été très déçus car l'annonce indiquait une piscine extérieure et intérieure sans limitations d'accès, alors qu'en fait la piscine extérieure n'était pas utilisable (non chauffée) et la piscine intérieure n'était accessible qu'avec la partie spa. L'accès au spa est quant à lui inclus pour 1H seulement dans le prix, au-delà il faut payer 30 euros par personne. De plus l'accès au spa est interdit aux enfants, en dehors de deux plages horaires le soir. Enfin le spa est fermé certains jours, il était fermé le mardi après-midi de notre arrivée. Michele à l'accueil a cependant tout mis en oeuvre pour trouver une solution et se rattraper malgré cette grande déception. Merci à elle. A noter : Bonnets payants à acheter pour être autorisé à accéder à la piscine...

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.

Decevant...

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
