リングアグロッサ のホテル

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights following our beach vacation in Taormina. It is a perfect place to unwind if you want to break up the drive back to Catania airport. I have to admit I was very curious as to how a hotel in such a remote location can possibly justify a 5* rating. The answer has to be the gorgeous, beautifully decorated, and massive rooms (our balcony had a direct view onto Mount Etna), the spa (which is free), and the excellent breakfast. Outside, the salt water pool is an added plus. The service was okay – typical Sicilian standoffish–ness. The hotel also seems to be very popular with British tourists. Do not go to this hotel if you are not prepared to relax and read a book all day. There is absolutely no entertainment, minus the Michelin-star restaurant which we never visited. TIP: Double-check your hotel bill during check-out. Some joker decided to add an expensive dinner and bottle of wine to my tab.

Beautiful room and pool area. Breakfast was delicious and restaurant is very good. The free spa area with steam, sauna and a hydro jet pool was a plus. You will need a car. Great for three days to explore Mt. Aetna and Taormina. Rooms would be perfect with a curtain between shower and bedroom and switching silly grand sink for two individual sinks; leaving much needed space for toilet kits, etc. A fitness center would be welcomed as well a walking map to guide you on morning walks in the lovely country country side Overall these are small constructive criticisms to make this very comfortable boutique hotel a 10. Room 211 was spacious and had a great terrace.

Vila Neri is a beautiful small hotel on the slopes of Mount Etna, smart and modern in feel. Comfortable rooms, excellent service and very peaceful. This was our second stay. It is difficult to find without satnav, on a minor road, a couple of miles North of Linguaglossa.

This spa was a great stop off for our Sicilia road trip. The grounds are lovely with a fantastic view, nearby to a lot of fun vineyards and wineries, and very close to some Etna basecamps. The spa itself is small but clean and really relaxing. Great steam room, great sauna, lovely salt water jet stream spa. Breakfast was plentiful - more like a Nordic breakfast than an Italian one (yes) Staff was very friendly and helpful, although I apparently booked the room for only one person instead of 2 and incurred an additional €35 fee as a result. Which brings me to my only negative... Although really lovely, I wonder at the value for the money here. I think a €200 stay is really a bit extreme, given the amenities.

Our stay was fine. It started with a lovely note addressed to "Mr and Mrs (my name)" which I thought was an odd thing to assume - as did my male partner. What if we were just friends traveling together? Or worse, brothers or brother/sister? Anyway, the hotel is quiet and relaxing with only about 25 rooms. The restaurant is delicious but expensive, and the decor doesn't match the quality of the food. It felt like a wedding hall. The rooms are great, very clean and comfortable - loved the tile in the bathroom. I wish the staff were a little more accommodating with helping us make restaurant reservations or recommending activities in Linguaglossa, but everyone was friendly and very professional.
