2 single beds put together to make double. Roll between & if not for the sheet you sink into crack.
Dinners good but overpriced. To use sauna and hot tub extra. But, spot convenient for what I wanted to do. Feels like no privacy because you can hear sounds of people speaking in halls and downstairs and room next door!

An oasis of peace/relaxation & excellent cuisine
From arrival to leaving this resort it is an oasis of peace, we choose to spend the days relaxing by the pool having already come from Catania. Others went off sightseeing locally. Our hosts cook fresh fish & pasta daily & the cuisine is excellent so really worth booking an evening meal or two. The ambience is friendly & peaceful in an olive grove with many fruit trees & the owners have received awards for their eco friendly organic garden & produce. If you want to get away from it all & be pampered by your hosts this is the place to go. Thank you Sabine & Saro.

Half hour drive to nearest beach, good facilities
Clean, spacious rooms with good views of countryside. Good free wifi and pool. Very glad we had breakfast included. Rooms have fridge but no other kitchen type facility available. Live in owners; Italian married to a German, are always around and helpful. Car is essential as this is on a country road a good half hour from Giardinin Naxos or 40 min drive to Taormina. You need to be a confident, calm driver on these narrow roads with impatient locals trying to get past.

Amazing Experience
I don't really know where to start :) As a Sicilian living overseas, i am really proud of what Casale Romano represents: a n unforgettable hospitality experience. Nature, Relax, Organic products, Amazing food and more. You will no be treated as a random guest, but you will be welcomed and treated as a friend. I felt sick due to a sunstroke and Sabina called a doctor and made me an amazing drink that made me feel much better. Thanks for everything!

Quite and peaceful room with garden and pool.
the host was very nice when we arrived but gave us lot of very useful information before giving the room key and we were unable to remember them at this time. Room was spacious and clean but there was no window only a glass door that my wife was afraid to open in the night cause we were on the ground floor. Our fridge did not work but we could use the kitchen fridge. The price seemed to be a bit high but at this area hotel prices are higher than in other parts of Sicily.

Great base camp. Lovely hosts.
We used the hotel as a base - only had 3 evening meals there, very enjoyable casa produce and local specialities. (not so good if you are vegetarian and or lactose intolerant) but your hosts will accommodate if you tell them. We used the Casale as a base from which to explore 100kms around,across some fairly dodgy roads - hint, get a small car but with some performance, you will need it. You are just a short drive West from views of Etna, East to the Beach coast. A bit further to get to the north and south coasts but doable and worth it. It's also possible to use the hotel for a rest day between extensive touring. It has good patio and pool and a sauna and steam room. You will need to pop up to the supermarket to pick up any lunch time supplies (fruit, beer, etc) as there is no service during the day.

Wonderful hosts
We had a memorable 8 day stay. This hotel is not without it's faults. The road is nearby and takes some getting used to and the rooms are pretty basic with beds and linen that need updating. However, the friendliness of the hosts makes up for these shortcomings. Their passion for Sicilian cuisine, their pride in the local wines and their helpfulness in ensuring that you go to the right places and see the right things is intoxicating. By way of example, we liked a particular red wine which ran out one evening. We were happy to have another, but Sabine rang the owner of the vineyard and he came round with some more and introduced himself. That's what I call good service!

Spent 5 nights here. Very relaxing hotel and the owners were extremely kind and helpful. Ate here twice but should have done so more as the food was lovely. Nice small pool and rustic gardens. Would certainly recommend this hotel for a quiet relaxing break.

Disappointing. We expected more.
Welcoming owners, keen to please but the facilities and room were not as good as we expected. Room was spacious but basic, no effort of co-ordination in furnishings. Two single beds pushed together. Bathroom had a good sized shower cubicle but poor quality towels. Kettle provided but you had to pay extra for tea and coffee. Breakfast choice reasonable. Perhaps a better experience would be had if you could sit outside or use the pool area but the weather was not warm enough when we went so unless you stay in your room there was nowhere on the premises to go. The in-house spa we did not bother with as being an expensive add-on. They have a captive audience for the 4- course dinner as there are limited options nearby but the price charged does not merit what they provide. Most of the food was not homemade as we had expected it would be given the few guests they cater for. Example dinner we had:- broccoli for starter (yes, just broccoli) then pasta twists in an almost dry dark green coating then a small fish fillet from an eel-like fish about 3' long we later saw in a market costing just 10€ per kilo which would have fed all 8 of us staying there which was served with (just) chopped tomatoes then a semifreddo dessert - obviously from a catering sized slab. Very disappointing. After dinner there was nowhere to go but your room. Thank goodness for the free wi-fi ! So overall, not the stylish establishment with local cuisine that we expected given other write-up's.

Small friendly hotel in foothills of Etna
Staff made us very welcome, and we're most kind in preparing a delicious evening meal for us at quite a late hour. (We had warned them in advance). The hotel was a little hard to find in the dark on the first occasion as the sign is quite discreet. The only problem was road noise in the early mornings, but luckily I had brought earplugs!

We stayed here for 3 nights. Unfortunately the weather was below average and we weren't able to enjoy the pool and terrace as much as we would have liked. The buffet breakfast was first class with plenty of choice. The evening meals are high quality with each course accompanied by an explanation by the owners of the origins and method of preparation of the ingredients.

Well placed for Etna and surrounding area
The hotel was well maintained and the owners were very helpful with tips about the best places to visit. You'll need a care to make the best of your stay as it's a fair way from the airport and coast, with limited public transport. Buffet breakfast is leisurely - served from 8-10 and evening meals are an interesting mix of local ingredients, traditional Sicilian fare and the hosts own innovations. The 4 course meals are cooked fresh from locally sourced ingredients, with a fish and pasta course, but not huge portions and you have the hosts personal explanations of the dish, its origins and preparation.

Lovely hotel in the mountains
The surroundings of this hotel are absolutely beautiful, the scenery is stunning. Pool area is lovely and quiet most of the time, we even had the whole pool to ourselves a few times. The people that own the hotel are very nice, they will help you out as best they can. We had understood from the room amenities that are advertised that we would have a kitchen, we were delighted with this because we thought that we could cook lunch and dine out in the evening, but the issue was that a "private kitchen" meant basically a kettle. We had dinner the first night there and although the food was lovely, we thought that it was a bit over-priced. We were offered a choice of either grappa or limoncello after our meal, and my husband thought it was so nice he asked for another one. When we checked out and paid our bill, we discovered that we were charged for the three drinks at €4 each, we didnt expect that.Rooms are definitely not sound-proofed as advertised, we could hear the people next door using the toilet. Overall it was a lovely holiday, but it is very rural and no restaurants or bars in walking distance. A car is definitely needed.
