The hotel staff were friendly and helpful but the room was tiny and very cramped. The wardrobe door creaked loudly and the shower was broken.

Was very impressed by Villa Kristina - good location, lovely property - good value for money. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed by the hotel swimming pool. A small pool, at its shallowest end it was 1.5m deep and progressed to almost 3m deep. As an incompetent swimmer, who enjoys wading to cool down and swimming a few strokes within my depth, I did not use this pool, which was a huge disappointment for me, especially as the weather was so hot, and there was little else to do at the resort. Other guests remarked the depth of the pool also. Some years ago, at a hotel in Sorrento, the shallow end of the pool gave way suddenly to the deep end, and I had a terrifying experience. A few years after that, a young couple from my home town drowned in a pool in Sardinia. So this seems to be an issue with Italian resorts in general, and I feel this is something that should be addressed. I have never had or heard of this problem with Spain, Greece etc., It was greatly disappointing.

Considering we went out of season the price was high for the level of property. Although the staff were very helpful and property in good location.

Villa Kristina was situated in a beautiful position with views of Mt Etna. It was a steep walk from town to reach it. OK if you were fit. The rooms were adequate and there is development of the site still taking place. I would recommend this hotel.

Not especially charming or aesthetic, but a well-run, clean hotel for the price bracket. A previous reviewer who complained of the distance of the hotel from the main street had obviously overlooked the steps a minute's walk away which take you to the centre in the short time promised by the hotel.

Very clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. It is a very hard climb up the steep streets to the hotel from the main shopping area. The main problem was the air conditioning was ineffective which made the stay uncomfortable.

The hotel is a bit far from the center of activity. Would suggest that visitors who have a car would find this hotel a very good place to stay. Drive time to activities is 5 minutes. Walking down is 12 minutes and walking back, up hills and steps is 25 minutes.

Room was plain but clean, although the ensuite facilities were old and a bit smelly as there was no internal fan. Th view from the balcony was spectacular and the location very convenient although somewhat noisy with the traffic.
