Etna Golf Club
Opened for play in 1989, Il Picciolo Golf Club, the first 18 hole golf course on the island, offers a fantastic array of holes laid down by architect Luigi Rota Caremoli. Nestled among age old oaks, towering hazel trees and romantic vineyards, the course offers a peaceful yet testing afternoon on the fairways.
Measuring 6,419 yards from the back tees the course is lengthy enough to test the better player while not leaving the beginner overawed by the challenge. The course also enjoys a fine tradition having hosted both the Sicilian Ladies Italian Open and the Sicilian Senior Open and with a clubhouse that sits at 650 meters above sea level, views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed while you recount your round over a well deserved drink.

Fantastic stay at the hotel. Great facilities and very comfortable rooms. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was excellent, and a a huge selection of wines. The waiters/waitresses were very knowledgeable and attentive.
Best hotel I’ve stayed at in the past few years.

The hotel is situated at the top of a 5 mile extremely steep winding road. A car is essential. It’s a lovely hotel with 2 large pools outside. The spa is good and the package includes 90 mins a day. The staff were all very friendly, polite and helpful. The rooms quiet and comfortable. Ample parking. The restaurant has buffet breakfast and service in the evening. Excellent food. The half board includes 2/3 courses off a daily menu plus a seasonal menu. 4€ for water !.

Accommodation was adequate, a lack of tea/coffee facilities in room was dissapointing, breakfast was a bit of a flaff due to only one coffee machine for all guests, but breakfast itself was good, even8ng meals are avg on the weekly menu, the daily menu got better at the weekend, the pool is excellent, the pool bar could offer a bit more in the way of snacks , aside from all the negatives i have to say the staff are the best i have experienced, nothing is too much trouble, always polite and smiling, a good understanding of british humour, i cant remember all names, but Vinny (manager) Antoni in the resturant, Annabella, pool and bar, Rossetta evening resturant,the cocktail bar guy, and the young guy pool attendant and bar, absolutley made our stay the best, also at reception Carla, marco, fredrika?, sorry if all names not correct, it doesent really matter they are all great thankyou.
I would like to add, we took two trips which the hotel arranged for us, one a guided tour of mount Etna, lead by Michele and Guiseppe from siciliaAdventure.it, this was a fantastic well informed day out, and the the Gambino wine tasting trip which was again absolutley brilliant, (thankyou Nino)
SO for us golfers and none golfers there is a lot more to do at il Picciolo resort.

We had a pleasant stay for 4 nights and 5 rounds of golf. The hotel is built for some years ago, but is OK. The breakfast was good ,and a lot to choose. I think IT is a must to have your own CAR, then You can SEE other place in the neigborhood. IT is also a lot of winery in the area, when the hotel is in "wina del strada". And close to The vulcano Etna.

The hotel is located on the slopes of Mt Etna. You can see the smoking summit from the hotel grounds. The hotel interior is a little dated. The dining room is rather cavernous and plain. The food is OK but not great. We chose to eat out about half of the time. We had originally booked the sister five star hotel of this resort, but we we overbooked to this hotel at the last minute. In retrospect we should have cancelled our holiday and got a refund.
10 / 10
The quality of food in the restaurant and the after golf bar was excellent. The staff were friendly and always keen to go the extra mile. The rooms were typically adequate. The setting dominated by views of Etna was superb. All transfers were on time.
10 / 10
The rooms are very well appointed with big comfortable beds and all the other facilities that you would expect at a decent golf resort.
The half board option is good value and the food was great. Bar prices were reasonable given that the service you get us excellent. Snacks at the clubhouse were also delicious.
Reception staff were very helpful and we can recommend the resort for a great golf break.
