Nous.avons passé une très bonne semaine à fin octobre dans le relais Kepos
Pros:

L’accueil et la situation très calme et une très belle vue je la mer et le volcan
Le petit déjeuner était exceptionnel et le personnel très charmant

Cons:

C’est dommage que la piscine ne soit pas chauffée . Au mois d’octobre elle pourrait être chauffée et le jacuzzi extérieur aussi
Le spa est un peu simpliste pour le prix demandé.

Pros:

Schönes Hotel mit Pool.
Pool und Whirlpool leider unbeheizt und daher bei unserem Aufenthalt kalt. Aber einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf das Meer, auch von Frühstück.

Cons:

In unserem Badezimmer war der Lüfter kaputt und sehr laut. In den Fugen der Dusche bildet sich Schimmel. Was nicht zum sonstigen Eindruck und dem Preis passt, den das Haus hat.

Wir wollten gerne nach einem Tag auf dem Ätna im hoteleigenen Restaurant Essen, da es im Internet gelobt wurde. Das Restaurant war am Sonntag Abend aber leider geschlossen.
Die Empfehlung der Rezeption schlecht.
Daher waren wir insgesamt etwas enttäuscht.

Le choix ultime pour rayonner sur la Côte Est de Sicile
Pros:

Un havre de calme. Un emplacement merveilleux.
Un personnel extrêmement dévoué ,
Et surtout Monsieur le Docteur Russo , le créateur de ce petit paradis, affable autant qu’il soit possible de l’être omniprésent mais discret, qui n’a que l’obsession de partager sa passion pour ses jardins, son verger extraordinaire.
Vous retrouverez toute les productions du Domaine sur votre table, accompagnées des meilleures préparations et charcuteries de Sicile.
Je le remercie ici du temps qu’il a bien voulu nous consacrer.
Un Homme et une propriété admirables .

Cons:

La perfection n’existe pas , donc il doit y avoir des failles,…. que nous n’avons pas vues!
Si les conditions climatiques avaient été meilleures, nous aurions pu profiter pleinement de la piscine à débordement et de ses plages de repos …
