Zash is a charming hotel nestled in an orange grove with stunning views of Mount Etna. While the setting is picturesque and the pool area is inviting, the service and room details leave something to be desired. The dining experience is commendable with a high-quality breakfast, but there are noticeable areas for improvement regarding the cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms. Overall, it has great potential but doesn’t fully meet the expectations set by its luxury marketing.

This hotel offers a breathtaking experience with its charming setting in citrus groves and views of Mount Etna. The details in décor create a stylish ambiance, and the dining experience is particularly impressive, especially with the Michelin-star restaurant on site. However, noise from the nearby train and ongoing construction can be distracting, which might affect relaxation for some guests.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Zash. On the positive side, the setting was absolutely stunning, surrounded by citrus groves with incredible views of Mount Etna. The dining experience was exceptional, with beautifully presented dishes and a lovely atmosphere. However, the room placement near the train tracks and the lack of some basic services were quite disappointing and not what I expected for the price I paid.

The hotel is set in a stunning location surrounded by citrus groves and offers breathtaking views of Mount Etna. The room with the private pool was a highlight, allowing for a truly secluded and relaxing experience in nature. However, the management's organization needs improvement as we faced challenges during check-in and dining reservations which detracted from the overall experience. The dining was exceptional, especially the tasting menu at the Michelin-star restaurant, though it came at a high price.
