Staff was excellent- eager to please and very responsive ##### Winston Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This hotel was a "wow" all around. The photos don't do it justice: 1) The area: the town it was in is super cute. Everyone knows one another in the area. Views of Etna were incredible. Just a very beautiful region of sicily. 2) The service: the front desk helped us book a helicopter tour of etna. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was fantastic! 3) Spa: Wow wow wow - beautiful turkish bath, and you get it all to yourself with the fee. My husband and I enjoyed this immensely! 4) Restaurant: Probably the best meal we had in sicily. Incredibly creative, beautifully plated dishes. Props to the chef! 5) The rooms - baroque revival, with hand painted ceilings, just amazing. Comfy beds and nice rainfall showers in bathroom. ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alana Oct 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a truly lovely time at Shalai. They came recommended by friends who stayed earlier in summer. The hospitality was amazing. Marta and her team were so helpful. We loved their dining recommendation and the resort itself was so well maintained and comfortable. Amazing breakfast and we used the Spa features and treatments as a special treat and we are so glad we did.Not something we normally indulge in but it was a special occasion and was well worth it- great value. We wish we could have stayed a little longer to explore the Etna wine country but are really happy we were able to visit for the time we did. ##### Alana Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf64e6e3-6cae-4b03-b17c-e92f766596c4-1760372389290.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonino Oct 2, 2025 ##### Antonino Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschönes unscheinbares Hotel, mitten in einer wundervollen Stadt. ##### Max Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Javoy Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Javoy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### sarah Jun 20, 2025 ##### sarah Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### vincent May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Très bel hotel dans un ancien palais.
