Beautiful hotel set amongst stunning gardens and offering fabulous views of both sea and countryside. The hotel is well placed to visit Mount Etna. Varied breakfast was fresh and well presented. Staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The king classic room we booked was much smaller than we’d expected so hotel kindly relocated us to a superior panoramic room which was lovely. All in all this was an oasis to end our two weeks touring Sicily. Loved it.

8/10 Very good

Wir waren 10 Tage im Kepos. Das Personal war sehr nett und aufmerksam, auch wenn der Kellner beim Abendessen manchmal allein nicht recht hinterher kam. Aufgrund des Preises hätten wir eine hochwertigere Ausstattung des Zimmers erwartet (bspw. war unser Duschschlauch kaputt) Die Zimmerreinigung war in Ordnung, aber im Bad wurde hauptsächlich um unsere Sachen herumgewischt. Die Außenanlage ist sehr schön und gepflegt.

Härligt läge, magisk pool. Bra skick!

Riktigt härligt hotell. Få rum och genomgående riktigt fräscht. Magiskt trevligt poolområde med stolar och cabanas. Infinitypool med vy över dalen ner mot havet. På avresedagen lånade vi spaat för en sista dusch och ombyte. Av någon anledning så var restaurangen stängd för såväl lunch och middag på tisdagen?

Luxury at the foot of Mt Etna

Loved this hotel, lovely rooms, pool and views over the ocean as well as, of course Mt Etna. Had an excellent dinner at the onsite restaurant. Would definitely return. Only small negative for us was that it was a little hard to find. After the initial sign points the way the final sign to the driveway turn in is quite hidden and we only saw it on our second time around...could easily be remedied by putting it in a different place or making it more prominent.

Peaceful hotel in stunning location

We had a last minute change of hotel as the previous one (Vila Neri) contacted us the week before travel to say they could no longer accommodate us, therefore, we were a bit apprehensive. Have to say though it was really lovely, stunning location with distant sea views one side and Mt Etna the other. Beautifully designed hotel, our pool suite was spotlessly clean and modern. We were in 301 which was nearest to restaurant which slightly obscured wonderful view so think other rooms would have been slightly better, plus outdoor room space is very open so rooms 302-305 would perhaps be bit more private, however, only 15 rooms in total so it is very small, peaceful, relaxing hotel. Breakfast and evening restaurant food was lovely, though unfortunately restaurant wasn’t open for lunch the day we were there. Overall a tranquil paradise - you must try the amazing clementine jam!

Quite simply - really great !

A beautifully restored hotel, newly opened in an idealic position between Etna and the sea. We received a very warm welcome from the owner Salvo upon arrival, no hint of irritation at the late hour of our arrival, in fact, quite the opposite, he went out of his way to make sure we were " fed and watered" and this kindness went a long way to help us relax, after our terrible ordeal at the Car Hire office in Catania. The rooms are light, fresh and airy, with simple modern furniture and extremely comfortable. Some suites and rooms are set within the main villa and some by the pool. The first have better panoramic views and the later are perhaps, more convenient for the pool. All have some outdoor space and pretty areas of garden are abundant. The pool is a salt water infinity pool and has stunning views. The vibe of the place is chic, but low key, breakfast and lunches on the terrace are typically Sicilian and as with all areas of the hotel overseen by the extremely friendly staff. I think their web site under sells the place and this is part of the charm, it gently delivers so much more than you expect, especially from a service point of view, we left feeling like members of the family that would be welcomed back and that is the mark of a really great hotel.

Fantastische Lage

Wunderschön gelegen zwischen Meer und Ätna ist dieses Hotel einfach ein Traum. Dies Suiten sind sehr geräumig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr puristisch. Das Frühstück mit regionalen Produkten sehr schmackhaft. Sehr nette deutsche Servicekraft beim Frühstück. Abendessen auch sehr zu empfehlen. Schwimmen im Infinity Pool mit Blick aufs Meer einfach unvergleichlich. Sehr schöne Atmosphäre.

An oasis of calm.

In an industry always striving to find individuality and charm, but most often under delivering. Kepos is a great example of how to get it right. Everything is meticulously crafted under its owners eye. Well done Salvatore. We loved our ten days of peace and tranquility here. The lovely pool and perfect setting for sun worshipping made it difficult to leave. When we made a few excursions out, we were always happy to come back. Freshly prepared, honest, homemade food and lovely wines were on the menu. We preferred to eat here than the restaurant next door as the kitchen focused on good quality Sicilian ingredients. Our beautiful studio by the pool was clean, quiet and well equipped for our stay. The rooms tastefully decorated and spacious. We will be back.

Nice new hotel.

This is a very new hotel with a good view of the sea. Its location near Mt. Etna is excellent. Staff were very friendly and the room was comfortable. There are some good places to eat within easy walking distance.

cercavo un posto in sicilia un pò lontano dalla grande confusione, e dopo avere visualizzato varie proposte, ho trovato questa nuova costruzione, in una posizione straordinaria vicino alle più belli posti della sicilia, ma immersi nella tranquillità. un ringraziamento particolare al dott. angelo e alla famiglia. da questa posizione si possono raggiungere molti posti da visitare tra i piu belli della sicilia, tanto che 8 giorni sono stati troppo pochi.
