10.0Schönes Refugio mit einem außergewöhnlich freundlichen, zuvorkommenden und kulanten Gastwirt. Ich würde mit toller Pasta verwöhnt.
Guest review
10.0We felt right at home here — a true home away from home. The location is great, about an hour walk from the cable car to Mount Etna, making it easy to enjoy a hike. Relaxing in the jacuzzi afterward was perfect. The forested surroundings smell wonderful, and the hosts made us feel like part of their family. We had an amazing stay and highly recommend this place.
Guest review
8.0Ładna leśna okolica, możliwość użycia jacuzzi, ciepłe i wygodne łóżka, miły właściciel. Możliwość wykupienia posiłków, ale warto wcześniej zapytać o cenę (ja się lekko zdziwiłam w momencie płacenia 😉). Niecałe 10 minut samochodem do stacji kolejki linowej i wycieczek na Etnę.
Guest review
9.0Raccomandiamo il Rifugio Ariel. Struttura adeguata per il prezzo richiesto. Grande cortesia e disponibilità di Giancarlo, il gestore. Ottima cena con un'ottima pasta con i pistacchi. Grazie ancora a Giancarlo.
