La cosa assurda è che hanno avuto il coraggio di rispondere che è un normale e giusto aumento considerato il tempo trascorso cioè 4 anni, non sapendo che un aumento congruo e regolare non avrebbe mai superato i 100€. Questo è semplicemente un comportamento scorretto! Non avrebbero mai potuto mostrare che in realtà quella camera costa sempre e ripeto SEMPRE OLTRE I 500€ per non parlare di tariffe di 1380€ a notte per altre camere cioè con la stessa cifra di fa un weekend da sogno in Trentino

From Catania, follow the indications for the highway A18 Catania-Messina. Take the highway direction Messina. At the exit for Giarre keep to the left and after 300mt. at the stop turn right towards Catania. After 1km you will pass a Chinese store, keep on for another 500 mt. and take the turning off the main road at San Leonardello on the left towards Torre Archirafi and Carruba di Riposto. Straight on for 1km and at the first cross turn left. Straight on for 1 km and at the end of street turn right. In the village of Carruba turn right by the church, after 800 mt. go through the bridge keeping to the right and after another 300mt. you will reach Donnacarmela.

Exactly like yarrowhse said: it’s a small hotel so don’t expect a lively party atmosphere. We spend almost every evening at the hotel: nice drinks and small bites at the bar in a relaxed atmosphere. For dinner you can chose between a fine dining menu or a more ‘normal’ restaurant menu. (In summer they have two different restaurant area’s). Fine dining a bit more expensive of course, but both great food. We didn’t mind eating at the hotel every night! The outdoor area’s have lovely lighting in the evening, (also outdoor bar) so there’s no real need to go elsewhere if you just want to relax.

Hi so sorry late in answering your query, I’ve been on holiday recently. We used bikes supplied by the hotel to get to the local villages where you can get food/ drinks . Takes about 20-30 minutes cycling I would have thought longer if walking. Shuttle was used to visit Taormina and well worth a visit to the Ampitheatre. Plus the nearby free public gardens . Our Etna trip was organised by the hotel who supplied a local guide who is a geologist , we went there in his car. Again we’ll worth a visit . Hope that you enjoy your stay.
