Shalai - Exclusive SPA and small gourmet hotel  

In the heart of Linguaglossa, perched on the slopes of Mount Etna and literally halfway between mountain and sea. A short drive puts you at Mount Etna and San Francesco of Paola Church, about 15 km from Taormina and roughly 20 km to Giardini Naxos Beach; walkable civic sights include the Metropolitan Theater, Bellini Gardens and Piazza Stesicoro.

A boutique, 13-room gourmet hotel set in an early‑1800s noble mansion with a quiet, intimate vibe and contemporary touches. Individually decorated rooms are air‑conditioned with private balconies, minibars, flat‑screen TVs and well‑appointed bathrooms (showers, hairdryers, slippers).

Refined spa and wellness area with a full menu of massages, beauty treatments and a sauna, plus a library, concierge and tour desk for booking Etna excursions. Expect a bar and coffee shop/cafe, limited-room service, babysitting (surcharge), free Wi‑Fi, on‑site parking and transfers on request—wake up to Etna mornings from your balcony.

Complimentary newspapers in the lobby, dry cleaning and laundry services, a 24‑hour front desk and concierge; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge and free self parking onsite. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Home to a Michelin 2023 restaurant led by chef Giovanni Santoro, serving deep Mediterranean flavors in a gourmet setting. The hotel also offers a bar/lounge for drinks and a coffee shop/cafe for snacks, with room service during limited hours.
