Lovely hotel in a typical Sicilian village up the hills. Stunning views from the terrace and (some) rooms. The staff was nice and helpful with information about restaurants and local amenities. Breakfast was great with some amazing home mad cakes.

It's quite a hike on a winding road to reach Castiglione but is worthy. We needed to park offsite in an adjacent little square. The owner assisted with the parking so was sorted out quickly (and for free)

We loved our room, first of all. It was a large, sunlit, quiet room. The bed was extremely comfortable with a very good-quality mattress. It had adequate storage facilities and free bottled water. Above all, the room was spotlessly clean and housekeeping were superb. The town itself is a gem and very close to the main sites in the area. The staff, all of them, were amazingly and genuinely nice. It shows they really care for their guests. The breakfast was superb and it had both cold and hot food. If you go there in your ċar, there is on-street parking nearby. Follow the directions given to you by the hotel.

An exceptional hotel. Our room was spacious with a large comfortable bed. The bathroom was very clean as was the whole hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was substantial with many options. We strongly recommend staying here.

Castiglione di Sicilia has a small but attractive historic centre but the rest of the town is rather run down. Our expectations of a very pretty village were not really met!

We stayed at the Federico for 1 night in between Etna and godfather tours. Value for money was exceptional and our host could not have been more friendly or accommodating. Breakfast starts at 8 but we needed to leave by that time so she opened breakfast up at 7.30 just for us. Exceptional service!!! The location is right in the centre of a medieval town with very narrow streets and we were sent instructions in the day how to avoid the narrowest (not that I managed it as I got lost). Overall a really unexpected, tremendous value gem in a fab location.

It was a wonderful stay at a beautiful hotel. It is very classic and comfortable. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are very well equipped. The decor is very relaxing and the location is to die for. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the lady concierge but she was lovely! The breakfast was very complete/delicious and the service is very kind. The parking in Castiglione is limited but we were contacted beforehand with very useful recommendations. A real 10/10!

Everything was perfect.

The most welcoming welcome by Maria. Our bad italian was no problem. She explained all in English. Informed us about the town, what to see, and even sent us the better route to the hotel, so we would not get stuck in narrow streets. Fabulous room, proper, beautiful balcony and a shared terrace. The town itself is unique, we had a great dinner at 'El Presidente' ,what a magnificent host, mr Salvo, and what great food, cooked by his father.

I can not think of any minus at all.

Gem of a hotel right in the centre of the village. Very friendly staff. Really nice local restsurant 50m away. Able to store our bicycles on a veranda with Gorgeous views of the town

comfortable room with very good en suite bathroom. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast spread.

Difficult to find the way to it but not the fault of the hotel. It’s difficult to drive around the narrow streets of a medieval Italian town. The hotel staff told us they are trying to improve the directions they send their clients but even with those, we had problems arriving at the hotel. A very helpful local man helped us by telling us to follow his car.

I loved this authentic medieval property and its wonderful charm. The best of all is the staff, the landlord is a fantastic guy who helped us so much when the car went out of order. I can never thank him enough. The hotel is just amazing, one of the best I have enjoyed

There is nothing to mention on this chapter.

The hotel is right on top of the village and next to the castle. You can drive there and even find free parking - 20 meters away from the hotel. This is a family managed hotel and everyone was super friendly and making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Breakfast offered a full range of local treats. Our room was big and spoiled us with amazing views of the valley and the Etna.
