La Terra dei Sogni Country Hotel

Ryanair style hotel with a lovely swimming pool Like good tips from the owner for etna visit a lovely swimming pool Didn t like - not customer oriented (didn t made any commercial gesture despite our flight cancelled) - breakfast is very industrial. Worst of the 4 hotel we did. - bathroom is not very clean and bed is hard. Old fashion style. Toilet too high. Out young kids were not anymore able to go without our help. Water coming out of toilet on the floor all night. We used towels too protect the floor - inside the room we heard everything outside - 4 breakfats and not even 1 smile from the personnal.

Our family of two adults and two small children stayed in apartment five which has two bedrooms and a large terrace so perfect for families. Everything was clean and functional, staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel restaurant was great with daily specials. The breakfast included within our rate was buffet style and there was plenty on offer. We asked for some advice on the right way to visit Etna and were provided with an abundance of tips, maps and guidance. There appears to be some sort of shuttle to a local beach during peak season but we didn't use it so can't comment. We were well located for visiting Mount Etna, Taormina, Isola Bella, Messina and Catania, all of which were less than an hour by car. The large pool was clean and well stocked with sun loungers and the hotel isn't so large that it ever felt crowded. The only things against this hotel is location which was a bit out of the way. We found that we enjoyed this (it felt that we were off the tourist track) but some may prefer to be a bit more central. We knew that we would need a car to get around when booking so this wasn't a surprise and there was ample parking. It is worth noting that Fiumefreddo has a trai station for those reluctant to drive themselves). Overall the hotel gets a big thumbs up and is especially family friendly.

Very nice place, friendly staff, good location, very close to the beach, next to village where you can buy everything what you need, very close to Etna and Teormina, Waterpark- Etnaland, reserve parks. Nice pool and view. We had big tarace so we could lie down and no one araund you at all. Room service every day. Place securied by the gate and closed every day from 00.00-7am. Air con. working. Safe in the room if needed. Bathroom very clean. Very comfortable king size bed( or even bigger tbh), Private parking.Bar opened. Food nice. You can relax and come with kids as plenty of space araund you. Very green and a lot of singing birds :) The only one thing what could be a little annoying is that the place is surrounded by plantations so during your stay someone can mow the grass at like 7-8am however better this than traffc/cars/crowd. Very recommened for someone who wants relax and just chill out. Very happy with everything so really go for it!
