From our terrace, we had a splendid view over the flickering lights of Catania 2000m below, and - turning round - at the towering Etna. Ask for rooms 204 or 205, they cost more, but are certainly worth it. The reception desk is full of information about the current situation of the volcano and is very helpful to make your... More

I agree, April can play some jokes. We had two little snowing - and temperatures around zero - hich made it difficult to leave hotel early (road frozen and difficult without snow tyres). Even most of our staff had troubles (we already changed all winter tyres with summer ones). At April beginning (or in November) unpredicted low temperatures make early... More

I been to Hotel Corsaro back in July 2008 to base myself for my ascent of the Etna Volcano and I found it to be a great hotel with a spacious room, a good sized restaurant area with a buffet selection of delicious food, and with some conveniences such as bottled water, souvenirs, etc. More

Next year we'll also have a wellness area. It is necessary after a day on Etna coming back in... More

We had a superior room with terrace and it was incredible. 2.000 meters terrace with view on half Sicily. Room was big and costed just 10 euro more than a standard one. Complete breakfast included but if you wish a real Cappuccino you have to ask it to service (they don't charge it but it is not specified). Great dinner... More

Many thanks! about Cappuccino after your review we wrote it on coffee machine, sorry. Now all guests know if they want they can have 'real coffee and cappuccino' without overpricing. Some groups, most french, prefer coffee machine to espresso one so we offer both possibility (but we prefer espresso!). Reservation process is not direct, I know and I am sorry... More

We got upgraded to room 103 (superior room), which faces exactly a GSM tower and antennas. The room is really large with a queen's bed and a bunk bed, which is ideal for families of four. The bathroom is large and equipped in an exclusive manner. However, the sound of beeping and buzzing of the GSM tower keeps waking you... More

I am sorry you didn't ask in reception about "beep" you heard. It was due to "Protezione Civile" (civil protection?) radio placed here to help in case of emergency. Thanks to your contact we solved it simply putting volume to zero (a technician probably forgot it and I am sorry we didn't notice). Why there is this radio? I beg... More

Lovely hotel on Etna, friendly staff! Views from 204 terrace is amazing! Very close to Etna cable car at about 2000 meters of altitude. Good restaurant and breakfast (for Sicily three stars hotel standard). Ideal getaway to visit volcano and surroundings! Visit Zafferana and Randazzo and try a "granita" in Nicolosi. Great! More

We were a relatively large group (brothers/sisters/kids/and parents - 17 in total). The hotel is a very good one with all necessary amenities being comfortable. Some rooms have amazing views. We had dinner in the restaurant and this was very nice, starting off with some mouth watering anti-pasti (home made stuff), deliciious pasta for seconds and various meats for the... More

Many thanks for your review! soon we'll have a wellness area so if you think to come back in summer time for an eruption watching trip (or again in winter time, especially in a record season as this 2012 one) you'll find hotel even more comfortable! See you soon! Davide Corsaro More

This hotel is in a great location - stayed for one night to climb Etna and it was exactly what we wanted: warm, comfortable and great room/bathroom. It's about a two minute walk to the gondola to the mid-station. Had a fantastic night sleep - we were pretty much the only people staying in the hotel, so it was silent,... More

Thanks for your review! eh eh, effectively about marmalades you missed the vertical exposition plenty of them but doesn't matter, just jam, not homemade ones so nothing special. We are not (yet?) on booking sites, we wish to offer best price possible directly without any commission - but if you come back for an eruption remember us you've been already... More
