Agriturismo San Leonardello

Rooms were clean but dated, kitchen had enough to make basic meals - except a bottle opener! Kids bed (twin beds) need replacing (our kids sleep anywhere but complained about these). Other rooms looked better from what we saw. The outside spaces were mostly quite unkept, the children's playground was unusable as so run down. Pool was clean, but seating also needed better upkeep. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The location works well for visiting Etna and would serve well for a few days exploring the volcanoe. Breakfast was ok although not as good as other places in Italy and dinner, although convenient was medicore and very overpriced. Overall it was all fine but our expectations had been more given the price of the accommodation and descriptions online.

We had a Very comfortable room and a delicious breakfast each morning. There were Lovely gardens and a clean pool with sun loungers and hammocks around. It had Super views of the sea and of Mount Etna. Loads of free parking. A lovely Quiet setting perfect for a relaxing break.

Unfortunately our stay was not what we expected. The whole location probably used to be really nice, but nowadays faded glory in our opinion. The owners/staff are rarely around, only the housekeeping person (Antonella we thought) is seen regularly, since she is there for housekeeping, cleaning the property, serving breakfast, serving dinner... The swimming pool is salt water but still nice though. The dinner that can be booked is extremely overpriced. It was 45€pp and a basic antipasta, starter, pasta and desert. Wine is really cheap wine, at least that's how it tasted. Really sour... The rooms are really outdated, if you have just a room and no small appartment, then expect there are no glasses, no water... nothing. Wifi is really bad to zero all over the property. At the pool, in the room, everywhere. The breakfast is ok, but don't expect much. There is cake, but untill the one that is presented isn't finished, there won't be any new one. Even after a couple of days. Fresh marmalade of cumquat, manadarine, orange... but marmalade is quite difficult to eat for children as it has a really strong taste. There are some yoghurts but if you are late, probably only the plain ones and not the ones with fruit. Fresh fruit can be asked though. Next to that, some slices of bread and some piccolinis, together with some ham (cotto or crudo) and cheese. The location is great, close to the center of a small village, views on the Etna, and a lot of fruit trees... The star of the property must be Lily, the short legged jack russel and is just too cute... all day long cuddling and playing with the kids. For us, unfortunately it was way overprices, the accommodation, the food, the service... and we don't think we would come back.
