We decided to spend a night in Rifugio Sapienza to relax after a long day of hiking Etna, a perfect decision in hindsight. We arrived early in the morning from Ortigia, parked our car in their private parking lot, met the reception staff (rooms werent ready yet) and immediately left for the Etna funicular station (right next door) Helpful reception staff - will provide lot of useful information about Etna excursions. Remember to ask for your discount voucher on the Etna cable car, if you intend to proceed an excursion on your own. Rooms are basic and stark but quiet (some noise from a nearby pump on the property?) and adequate for a night's stay, we had tiny windows - may be worth asking if better rooms are available with more expansive views. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant, and enjoyed one of our best pizza melas in Sicily. Good breakfast (mostly crossaints and cakes but also coffee and juice as well) - they accommodated our request by starting breakfast service early as we had to leave for Catnia to return our rental car.

Sur le flanc de l'Etna, il y a une ambiance de station d'altitude dans ce petit hôtel. C'est une excellente manière d'apporter un peu de diversité dans votre voyage en Sicile que de passer une nuit à la montagne, ou en tous cas "au volcan". La chambre est très correcte pour le prix et le petit déjeuner est copieux. Il est service dans la salle du snack-bar et il ne faut pas hésiter à demander ce que l'on souhaite et à se resservir, même si c'est peut-être moins pratique que pour un buffet. Le restaurant fait aussi très bien son travail.

Siamo stati qui insieme alla mia famiglia e al nostro piccolo cagnolino. Location bella, accoglienza super, cibo di buona qualità, servizio di pulizie buono. Un ringraziamento particolare a Fabio, Giancarlo, Francesco e Antonio per la loro accoglienza e disponibilità a tutte le nostre richieste. Assolutamente da consigliare. Alla prossima!

Utilizzato per un pranzo veloce. Ottimi gli arancini classici al ragù. Simpatica l'idea di quelli con i saliceddi e salsiccia anche se la salsiccia non è pervenuta. Un pò confusionario poi nella scelta al bancone e quindi al pagamento. No c'è un numeretto per cui nei momenti di presenza di tante persone bisogna armarsi di pazienza. Tavoli per la consumazione nn molto puliti.

sempre bello nella zona delle arancie e dei limoni , non riuscire a bere una aranciata spremuta o succo di arancie siciliane , o una limonata , oppure un latte di mandorla è il colmo alla faccia della ticipita siciliana , i gestori come da sempre cordiali e sinceri bravi .
