Hotel Santa Tecla Palace, Acireale - Mount Etna hotel booking

Hotel Santa Tecla Palace, Acireale

This hotel lies at the foot of Mount Etna and provides smart, modern accommodation and facilities for a memorable holiday exploring the mountain. Located in the quiet fishing town of Acireale, you can also spend days relaxing by the sea.

Mount Etna has a colourful place in Greek mythology as the home of Vulcan, the god of fire, as well as having erupted seven times in the island's history. The mountain now provides the backdrop for numerous activities, including skiing on its peaks in winter or long hikes in the summer. The hotel provides assistance for hiring mountain bikes and off road vehicles for exploring the mountain's forests as well as trainers for taking a rock climbing course.

On the hotel's doorstep you can go on organised diving expeditions alongside the 200 metres of private coastline, or simply relax with a good book on a sun lounger. Other facilities include two tennis courts, floodlit in the evenings, and you're also close to a 18 hole golf course for hitting some long drives.

The Hotel Santa Tecla prides itself on the smart modern rooms, which all have balconies offering picturesque views across the Ionian Sea or the citrus groves of the Timpa forests. There are also ten especially spacious suites for added opulence during your stay.

After an enjoyable excursion you can sit down to a romantic candlelit dinner on the hotel terrace, and savour the ambiance created by the live piano player and the mesmerising views across the sea.
