Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & Spa

Overview

We've heard rave reviews about the buffet breakfasts here: fresh pastries with the sunrise... don't mind if we cock-a-doodle-doo. And that's just for starters. You can spend your days on a sunbed at the spa, the pool or the beach and your evenings with an aperitivo in hand (very Italian) gazing at the pool, all lit-up and lovely. And if you fancy staying active, like the nearby Mount Etna (don't worry, you can keep your eye on it from the hotel), there's a gym too! Everything you need, right on your doorstep.
