I recently stayed at Finestra Sulla Sicilia, and while the view of Mount Etna from my balcony was amazing, there were some significant downsides. The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, with mold and dirt issues being particularly bothersome. Additionally, the breakfast options were quite limited, which was disappointing considering it was included in my stay.

The Suite with Spa Bath had a stunning view, but the bathroom was impractical, especially due to its small sink and poor ventilation. I encountered a foul smell after using the tub, and the glass separating the bed from the tub felt unstable.

While the facilities included some nice touches, such as a welcome drink, the lack of cleanliness and proper maintenance overshadowed these aspects.

I had a pleasant stay at Finestra Sulla Sicilia, with beautiful views of Mount Etna and a tidy room. However, the lack of an elevator made carrying my luggage challenging, and the neighborhood felt a bit rundown. Overall, the location was fantastic, being so close to the city center, but the breakfast options left something to be desired.

My stay at Finestra Sulla Sicilia was a mixed experience. The room was beautifully furnished and the view of Mount Etna from the terrace was amazing. However, the location left something to be desired, as the street was quite dirty and I unfortunately had to spend time dealing with a robbery incident. Overall, I think it merits a solid rating despite the issues I faced.

The shared kitchen had stunning views and was a great space for socializing. However, keep in mind that there are no elevators since the apartment is on the fourth floor.
