Quiet hotel located well for exploring
Pros:

Lovely quiet hotel with a cute cat and excellent food and service.
Just outside the town, 20 mins walk to station (walk is flat and easy and pavement of sorts most of the way) but not the prettiest of walks. We didn’t have a car and there is not much in Giarre. Volcano pub is nice for a meal but we mostly ate at the hotel which was top quality! Hotel arranged a trip to Etna ( to 1700 metres) was a nice day. Hired bikes and cycled to Naxos beach. Pool area and views of Etna were nice. Overall enjoyed.

Pros:

Séjour exceptionnel ! Le gérant est d’une gentillesse incroyable, toujours disponible et très arrangeant, il nous a beaucoup aidés face à quelques imprévus, ce qui a vraiment fait la différence.

Petit déjeuner délicieux avec beaucoup de fait maison, un vrai régal. Chambre impeccable et surtout une vue magnifique sur l’Etna. Des activités sont également proposées, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus agréable.

Nous recommandons vivement !

Quirky, welcoming hotel close to Etna
Pros:

It's a very quirky hotel, overlooked by the brooding volcano behind. The atmosphere owes a lot to the history of the site, upcycling and exhibiting machinery and objects used there.
There are a variety of room types, and we were in a ground floor room by the pool. The breakfast was continental supplemented by local produce and bakeries, especially the home made jams and yogurts!
The pool area was clean and well kept. Plenty of sunbeds and a covered lounge area, with an afternoon pool bar.
Giarre itself is a 20 minute walk with a good rail link. The local village is unremarkable with few bars and eateries. It was a good location as a base for exploring Etna and surrounding locations. Having a car or driver, or being part of a travelling group adds to the value of this gem of a hotel.

Beautiful setting with unforgettable views of Etna
Pros:

Etna Hotel is a lovely old Sicilian country house with stunning views of Mount Etna. Rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always attentive. The hotel also arranges volcano tours on certain days, which are well worth doing.

The main downside is the location—you’ll need a car to really enjoy the area. The hotel can arrange car hire or taxis into Giarre, but walking isn’t ideal. Dining nearby is limited; the closest option is the Volcano Pub up the road, though the walk there can feel a bit hair-raising.

Overall, highly recommended for the incredible views and excellent service.

A charming and comfortable place to stay. Beautiful view of Mt Etna! Just a bit far from Taormina.
Pros:

It was very charming, the lady at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. The pool was nice. The room was clean and comfortable with AC and a fridge.

Cons:

The pool closed at 8pm so we weren't able to use it when we got back from a hot day of touring. Some light from outside disturbed our sleep a little. It was a bit far from Taormina and so that was a little inconvenient for us.
