Hotel Residenza Petra

We were greeted by a friendly welcome and the level of service continued throughout the stay. The hotel staff were helpful throughout and the 24hr concierge was welcomed. We booked the junior suite for one night, a rustic room on the second floor that had been sympathetically modernised with underfloor heating and a new bathroom suite. A mini-bar of refreshments was included. We also had a view of Etna and surrounding mountains out of the window. The room was very clean and the shuttered windows kept the room really dark, great for a lie-in! We drank at the reasonably priced bar, taking these to the higher floors to enjoy the view from comfy sofas. The breakfast was an excellent selection including local produce such as ham and cheese (ricotta!), breads, pastries and cakes, juices and freshly made coffee. Highly recommended if you want a base to explore the surrounding area.
