Le lit était vraiment inconfortable. Il était impossible de se stationner près de l'hôtel.Il y avait une procession religieuse qui montait vers la place près de l'hôtel. Il a fallu se garer loin en contrebas, très dérangeant avec les valises. Le restaurant était agréable et offrait de bons plats.

Very friendly and accommodating staff in a fine little hotel, with a little restaurant with nice wines and a great grilled veal. Driving the narrow paths that lead to this peak location is no easy task but this is a lovely place to experience the upper part of this mysterious village.

Ein sehr schönes Hotel in Mitten der Altstadt

Das Hotel ist nicht ganz einfach zu Finden, doch die Suche hat sich gelohnt. In Mitten der malerischen Altstadt liegt das historische Gebäude in der Nähe des Hauptplatzes. Das Innere ist geschmackvoll renoviert, unser Zimmer war passend zum Haus geschmackvoll eingerichtet und erfüllte unsere Erwartungen voll und ganz. Eine Überraschung war die exzellente sizilianische Küche im zugehörigen Restaurant. Der Service war im Hotel wie auch im Restaurant freundlich und professionell. Bei einem nächsten Besuch in Castiglione di Sicilia würden wir dieses Hotel wieder wählen..

Immersi nel medioevo di Castiglione

Io ed il mio ragazzo abbiamo trascorso una notte al Federico II. Abbiamo apprezzato la dimensione della camera (una tripla), la disponibilità del personale quando abbiamo chiesto se fosse possibile una camera al piano alto e la pulizia. Inoltre non ci è stata messa alcuna fretta per il check-out permettendoci di partire alle 11.30. Vista l'ora non abbiamo preteso di far colazione anche se sarebbe stato un gesto carino chiedere se magari avessimo voluto prendere un caffè al volo. Ad ogni modo l'impressione generale è stata positiva e Castiglione di Sicilia è davvero una cittadina dai paesaggi incantevoli.

Good value hotel in old part of town.

We enjoyed our 2 day stay in this rather out of the way hotel but it is a fine base for exploring round Etna. Good value and excellent dinner. Unfortunately we were locked out at 10.15pm after going for an evening stroll so I would suggest that a key be provided or a staff member be on duty. We did get in eventually after attracting the attention of another guest!

Nice hotel in a beautiful location.

This is the second time that we have stayed in this hotel and we enjoyed as much as the first time. The food was delicious. In our second week we went to another part of Sicily, but could not find any food which compared with Federico II. The hotel is situated at the top of a beautiful, very peaceful medieval town perched on the top of a hill, with dramatic views of Mount Etna. We are looking forward to visiting a third time!
