There are many videos about Etna on YouTube. One surprised us. It has been recorded by our roof and shows September,4th 2007 Sud Est explosions. Our thank to author. Click here for video from Hotel Corsaro.

Yesterday, on a ‘birthday tour’ with friends on Nebrodi mountains (northern part of Sicily) we discovered a little corner of paradise where to rest. We thank Ass. Foraci who took us to a new zone who will soon open to tourists but which we could visit thanks to his passion for his town, Tortorici. Thanks! My 34th birthday couldn’t be better!

Bye, Thomas

Wireless free internet connection in one third of hotel has beeing appreciated by our guests. I am happy because it is an old dream and because I am proud to offer it for free to every hotel guests.

Last room available for tomorrow evening, December, 31st. It’s more difficult to sell a lonely room thane to sell two or three to a little group of people. Price is € 170,00 per person, € 340,00 if sold as double room. Last room is a magnificent four places room so if you are just a couple you can park your car in it (just joking!). Price includes New Year’s Day’s lunch but restaurant will remain closed on 31st evening. We suggest Rifugio Sapienza +39 095 915321 (but it should be full meanwhile I write) or La Nuova Quercia hotel +39 095 911277 for a special dinner, tomorrow.

Golden week-end special offer il working fine! First reservations have been confirmed today. Some price examples? A room for two persons on 9th and 10th January in Full Board will cost just € 280,00 instead of € 360,00 total. With two children price will be € 440,00 instead of € 580,00. Base service, double room in Half Board, will cost € 220,00 instead of € 280,00, total for two nights, two persons.

Sometimes I beg your pardon for strange titles I give to news. They are necessary to focus search engines attention on some keywords, those ones most of you use when you want an hotel really on Etna and really close to cablecar and snow..

Sometimes I beg your pardon if, in lack of news, I fill up a page with a lot of effectively unuseful comment. I need them to have a bit of space to place a photo. Today I wished to publish two of them.

A photo of Hotel covered by snow, as today morning, is surely better than thousand words.

Two photos are better than one.

So I hope ho get your pardon.

Ah yes, you wish another good new. Wireless is working in reception and in rooms from 101 to 109. First experiments with our guests have been positive. During 2009 we will extend wireless to 201-208 rooms and bar and restaurant halls.

What about if you don’t have a mobile computer? You got anyway space for a third and last photo of today’s snow.

Isn’t it extraordinary?
