Villa Neri Resort and Spa

Beautiful property in idyllic location An incredible stay at Villa Neri for my wife and I. The room was large (Deluxe) and had one of the best bathrooms I had ever seen. The food at the Hotel is easily the best I have had at a hotel and deserving of a Michelin star. We were also very big fans of the hotel cats and their kittens and enjoyed seeing them treated well by staff. Only small points of feedback - the hotel sometimes felt understaffed, particularly at the pool bar during the day. The only other thing was the dated entertainment system in the room which you might expect to be a bit more modern for a hotel of this calibre. Otherwise a brilliant hotel all around.

Spent a few days away with my wife first week of July and would have to say it was probably the most relaxed break I have ever had. Hot weather meant, apart from an drive to Taormina one evening, we sent many hours lounging by the large pool which was never busy, treating ourselves to treatments in the quiet spa, indulging one evening in the tasting menu in the restaurant, having lunch under the olive trees served by the charmingly attentive Salvo enjoying the lovely local wines and genuinely unwinding. As it would be too indulgent to dine in the restaurant every night we drove to nearby restaurants with splendid views on the slopes of Mount Etna and in the sleepy town of Linguaglossa and didn't have one poor meal. Small comments: The hotel bar is situated in reception and lacks any sense of ambience. Luckily with the lovely hot weather meant we could always drink outside. The hotel would benefit from other menu options of an evening as although splendid the main Restaurant is a little posh to dine in every evening. You do need a car to venture anywhere outside the hotel. All in all a lovely hotel with excellent staff in a fabulous part of the world.

Our stay at the Villa Neri was wonderful. The area is quiet and peaceful. The staff were all courteous and amazing. The hotel itself is a little bit secluded so driving is recommended if you want to get around and explore yourself. There are many things available to do at the resort: spa facilities, pool, tours of the winery, etc. The food was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in a relaxing atmosphere for their trip.
