Relais San Giuliano - Hotel in Sicily
Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 280, 95029 Viagrande, Catania
Sicily,
Italia
An impressive complex of buildings given a wonderful renovation. Inside find traditional materials such as lava stone and earthenware plaster combined with cutting-edge design and beautiful works of art. The living room in the main building is airy, with wide vaulted ceilings and comfortable sofas in front of a fireplace – a lovely spot for a quiet read. In the evening you move to the ancient Palmento for an aperitif before deciding where to eat – in the bistro for more traditional food, or the restaurant with its inspired menu.
Bedrooms are immaculate, some suites, some with a terrace or balcony, all with sparkling en suite showers or a freestanding tub. Wake to delicious breakfasts on the veranda or in the garden with views over vine-covered slopes all the way to Etna.
Float in the outdoor infinity pool, doze on a lounger, head to the gym, enjoy sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi in the wellness area or book a massage and zone out.

- Go through the Etna Wine road from Viagrande to Randazzo, seeing chestnut and hazelnut trees and vineyards. The landscape around Etna is spectacular: the volcano and the smoke that makes its way through lava flows to the sea, are a real sight.
