Spent a few days away with my wife first week of July and would have to say it was probably the most relaxed break I have ever had. Hot weather meant, apart from an drive to Taormina one evening, we sent many hours lounging by the large pool which was never busy, treating ourselves to treatments in the quiet spa, indulging one evening in the tasting menu in the restaurant, having lunch under the olive trees served by the charmingly attentive Salvo enjoying the lovely local wines and genuinely unwinding. As it would be too indulgent to dine in the restaurant every night we drove to nearby restaurants with splendid views on the slopes of Mount Etna and in the sleepy town of Linguaglossa and didn't have one poor meal. Small comments: The hotel bar is situated in reception and lacks any sense of ambience. Luckily with the lovely hot weather meant we could always drink outside. The hotel would benefit from other menu options of an evening as although splendid the main Restaurant is a little posh to dine in every evening. You do need a car to venture anywhere outside the hotel. All in all a lovely hotel with excellent staff in a fabulous part of the world.
