Terrific view, but that is the only good thing I can say. Rooms are very small. Air conditioning did not work. The staff is surly and does not offer any help. The food is terrible ! The menu is fixed and precooked food is thrown down on your plate at 25 euro a person. There is no kitchen in the... more

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 3 nights. On our arrival at 3pm a wedding was in progress ands we we found it very difficult to park in the car park. When we checked in we were told that the pool area was being used by weding guests and that we were not able to go into the pool... more

Dear Guest, I am very sorry you felt yourself as a "Hinderance" for the management, it is not so. We always try to solve all the problems our guest can have.. but maybe you forgot to write that you asked (the better word would be pretended !) a discount of more than 60 %, when our manager answered you it...

The hotel is out of the town and you need transport to be able to get to/from it as the local bus only goes one way each day. We found the reception staff very helpful and eager to try out their English. They were attentive and willing to respond to all our requests. The breakfast buffet was extensive and replenished... more

We would not recommend using Hotel Airone in future because the restaurant and bar service was very poor and the standard of food was abysmal. The food was often cold or nearly cold. The plates were always cold. The portions were small The menu was unimaginative and very limited The service in the restaurant was slow. There was no choice... more

We spent 2 nights at Albergo Airone. The hotel is located over the village of Zafferana Etnea on the road to the Etna, so it is a perfect basis to visit the vulcano, especially if you want to be there early in the morning which is the best time, because the clouds come generally few by few during the day.... more

I read the previous reviews of the Hotel Airone at Zafferana Etnea, near Catania, Sicily and didn't know what to expect. One review was glowing and the other did not like it at all. As I had chosen it for my honeymoon, I didn't want it to be a disaster. In the end, I would say that the Hotel Airone... more

This hotel was recommended by a guide book, and also by an enthusiastic trip advisor member. The location is good if you want to hike on the Etna (yet it is still a 20 km drive to reach La Sapienza, at Etna’s foothill). The view is also very nice (on the seaside, because the rooms looking towards the Etna are... more

We found this Hotel when we happened to drive through Zafferana Etnea and stop at the tourist bureau. I dont think they get too many tourists, as a local who was also visiting this Info bureau offered to drive us to our car, and then drive to the hotel to show us how to get there. We were touched by... more
