Hotels near Etnaland Theme Park, Motta SantʼAnastasia

We were looking for a peaceful, quiet retreat in the countryside to unwind and enjoy great food—and that’s exactly what we found. The location is quite remote, so the only way to get there is by car. We highly recommend renting a car or using your own, as relying on taxis can get expensive. There is ample parking available, with the added bonus of solar panels covering the parked cars. The staff were incredibly friendly, spoke excellent English, and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in a Double Room with a Terrace. In addition to the main entrance, the room had its own private entry through a gate. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and the air conditioning actually worked, which is a rarity in many hotels. The room was a lovely mix of old-world charm and modern amenities, with the original flooring from the monastery adding a special touch. The only downside was the small bathroom, and the shower had a slow drain, but it didn’t detract too much from the overall experience. Breakfast was simple yet delicious. While the variety wasn’t extensive, everything we had was fresh and satisfying: scrambled eggs, homemade polpette, flans, Sicilian pastries, and cakes. You could also order eggs to your liking, along with freshly squeezed grapefruit and blood orange juice, and any coffee you wanted. We dined at the hotel for both lunch and dinner, and while the menu was small with similarly-sized portions, the quality and flavor were exceptional. However, note that there are no snack shops or stores nearby, so it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks and water if you plan on staying on the property. Although we didn’t use the pool because it was still a bit too cold, it appeared to be a good size, albeit shallow. The surroundings were incredibly tranquil, with fields of olive and citrus trees, vines, and even some animals like bees, chickens, tortoises, and cats.

Everything was fine. Breakfast was ok like light

Amazing host, very friendly, clean and wonderful breakfast. Highly recommend!

The apartment is clean, very well equipped and central

Located on the main street just outside the highway, it’s incredibly easy to find and perfectly positioned for exploring the area. Plenty of parking is available nearby. The rooms are bright and spacious, with each bedroom having its own air conditioning for maximum comfort. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy dining room, and a balcony with seating and a table — perfect for enjoying a morning coffee. The bathroom features the largest shower “room” I’ve ever seen — honestly, you could fit six people in there! From the bedrooms’ balcony, you get a breathtaking view of Mount Etna, making the stay truly unforgettable. What really sets this place apart is the host. They went far beyond expectations by personally taking care of some items I had forgotten and shipping them back to me — a gesture of kindness that’s rare to find. A truly wonderful person who made our stay exceptional. I can’t recommend this place enough — if you’re lucky enough to find it available, book it without hesitation!
