We were wine tasting for 3 days around the north side of Mt Etna. Hotel in a great location. The town of Linguaglossa is a little slow and limited. But this was shoulder reason. Staff was excellent- eager to please and very responsive

All rooms on the 3rd floor have no windows, mattress and linens were 3 star at best. Owner of the hotel Leonardo extremely rude, and lacks basic customer service skills.

We had a truly lovely time at Shalai. They came recommended by friends who stayed earlier in summer. The hospitality was amazing. Marta and her team were so helpful. We loved their dining recommendation and the resort itself was so well maintained and comfortable. Amazing breakfast and we used the Spa features and treatments as a special treat and we are so glad we did.Not something we normally indulge in but it was a special occasion and was well worth it- great value. We wish we could have stayed a little longer to explore the Etna wine country but are really happy we were able to visit for the time we did.

Very nice place to relax, small litte village, but not to far from Taormina, but you do need a car to get to places.

Incredible find!
Friends of ours stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago for one night and recommended it. We decided to stay for three nights. It was the best decision of our trip. Our flight to Catania was delayed by 10 hours and we had a long, horrible day in the Rome airport. We arrived at the hotel very late and very tired after a stressful drive from Catania. The staff welcomed us with open arms, carried our luggage to our room, immediately asked if we would like a late dinner at their excellent restaurant, and offered to change the date and time of our planned excursion the next day. The hotel and staff remained top notch the rest of our time there - recommending other restaurants, providing excellent breakfasts, and answering other questions. Linguaglossa was a small, friendly town close to Mt. Etna. My family and I highly recommend The Shalai!

Schönes Hotel mit kleinen Einschränkungen
Riesiges Bett, Dunkles Bad mit nur einer schwachen Lichtquelle. Die aber ausreicht um den Schlaf des Partners zu stören, wenn der andere nachts ins Bad muss. Eine Glaswand grenzt an das Zimmer und lässt das Licht durch. Die Schiebetür zum Bad ist slles andere als angenehm, denn sie ist systembedingt nicht dicht.
