There is no air conditioning in the locanda. I don't know about the other rooms, but our room didn't have windows we could open, apart from the small window in the bathroom. We had to keep the sliding door open at night for the fresh air, and it didn't feel comfortable being located on the ground floor.

The place is as gorgeous as it looks in the pictures. Quite remote, and it takes a while to get there. Being halfway on the slope of Etna and in the forest creates a fantastic atmosphere and warmth. The rooms and the restaurant are tastefully decorated with a hint of luxury. The beds are large and comfortable, the bedding is good, there's number of pillows to choose from. Everything is new and clean.

We loved everything! Wonderful people. Great food. Best location for seeing Etna. A beautifully done small country hotel. Faultless!

What a beautiful place. The owner really put his heart in the place. The attention to detail in the design was unbelievable. Its a quiet place in the woods with great food and wine. Definitely will suggest this place to everyone who wants peace and quiet.

The location is extraordinary in the middle of a wonderful wood. The owner and the complete team are awful nice and we will never forget the time with this team. There are occasion's in your life you can not buy with money. For example, we've been invited to the Rifugio St Barbara for lunch, in the background a fire-breathing vulcano and in front of us the best Salsiccia in Italy (thanks to Peppe). Best you will try it by your self because as the some poets found out already a long time ago: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". Therefore visit Locanda Milia and feel it.

Be aware of Mosquitos. Have some repellent with you.

At the foothills of the mighty Etna in Sicily lies a hidden gem, the "Locanda Milia." A place where the warmth of hospitality is as scorching as the Sicilian sun, and the service, impeccable. We read some comments stating the team here won’t just go the extra mile, but they would sprint it, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to satisfy their guests. And yes – it’s all true, they've certainly left an indelible mark on my traveler's heart and I traveled across the world quite a bit in the last 25 years. From Locanda Milia, the world becomes your oyster. Famous sights like Taormina, Syracuse, and Enna are just a scenic drive away, perfect for a day filled with exploration and adventure. But what truly sets this haven apart is the serene tranquility that washes over you when you return in the late afternoon. It's a place where some chaos of the world dissolves into a tranquil melody of chilled vibes. The location is nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled on the south side of the majestic Etna in a patch of forest that survived past eruptions, it's a symphony of nature's finest notes, super silent. It’s also just perfect for a super convenient day trip to Etna and cable car station “Refugium Sapienza”. The interior is a symphony of chic, elegance, and soothing ambiance, with an eye for details. Room service was splendid, they even decalcified the kettle after a week, never had this experience during my past global traveling. And then there's the restaurant. Even for us vegetarians, there was a delightful array of options to choose from. The flavors of some traditional local dishes danced on our tongues, others had been very happy and pleased by pork knuckles. Whether you crave the robustness of local meats or the delicacy of vegetables, Locanda Milia has it all. In sum, it's not just a hotel, it's an experience. This is the stuff of memorable journeys, and I, for one, will remember its essence forever.

We found this hotel, nestled in the woods at Mount Etna, to be a true gem. The staff treated us like cherished friends from the moment we arrived, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Surrounded by nature's tranquility, the peaceful ambiance was a much-needed escape. The culinary experience was a highlight, with authentic Sicilian flavors that delighted our taste buds. The freshness of ingredients and expert preparation showcased the best of Sicilian cuisine. In summary, our stay here was exceptional. The combination of attentive staff, a serene forest setting, and delectable Sicilian fare earns this hotel a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.

Locanda Milia is a place out of a fairytale. You arrive and immediately feel calm and at peace. The whole place is a highlight in itself. From the unique cellar bar, the delicious food and the impeccable rooms. The owner and the whole crew were really lovely people and we felt really welcome. We did different trips up Mount Etna and simply loved it. We will definitely come back. Outstanding experience! 10/10

Nothing to dislike

We stayed at the end of march. This place is amazing, very unique and a perfect mix of contemporary with a homage to the tradition and the landscape it sits within. The hosts were very hospitable and welcoming and obviously very proud of what they have achieved. The food was delicious as was the wine and our only regret was that we couldn't enjoy the place for longer.

excellent stay surrounded by nature.. staff very friendly and helpful.. restaurant on site is very good, with nice meals of local food, also breakfast was ok some cereal, bread and croissants. be prepared the mobile coverage is very low, but they have very good wifi. you have to walk a little from car parking to rooms but it was ok for us.

Our private suite was extremely well heated, but no underfloor heating. The provided slippers were needed, given it was still very cold overnight in early April.

Everything - location, facilities, food. Brand new property. Excellent Chef. Beautiful room (#8) with private terrace. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a mountain experience in Sicily.
