Opposite the sea of the Etna Vulcan, bordering the "La Timpa" Natural reserve, very near the baroque old town centre of Acireale and its thermal baths, the Aloha d'Oro is situated in one of the most suggestive places of Sicily.
It is surrounded by a citrus fruit garden that connects it to the sea and is a structure in which the local nature and culture blend, in order to give you unique emotions and moments of great well-being.As the Aloha does not belong to any chain of hotels, it has a management and a personality that are strongly characterised and exclusive: from the Mediterranean architecture due to the genius of the architect Cancila, to all the services.
113 rooms, of which 80 in the central part - the Castle - and 33 in the satellite part, built according to the style of the Etna farms. They are provided with telephone, air conditioning, heating, multi-frequency telephone and TV, hair dryer, mini-fridge, bathroom en suite, furniture in solid beech-wood, floors with hand-painted ceramic, a safe that is substituted by service at the reception, if it is not present.
A totally natural and Mediterranean breakfast is the best way to start the day: for this reason Aloha suggests best out of all the excellent regional products: biological bergamot jam (our own production), lemon and orange honey from Etna, zagara honey cake, bread from Bronte produced with natural yeast. And when the weather is good (that is very often) it is possible to have breakfast on the terrace with view of the sea, under the shade of a pergola of wisteria. In the three restaurants (one on the sea for the fish barbecues) the hotel suggests, as a tradition, a territory cuisine with specialities of first courses that are different every evening and second courses based on local fish such as anchovies, sardines, etc. (not battery fish), all accompanied by Sicilian wines. It is also possible to choose dietetic courses, steam cooked in the oven.
The hotel is 200 metres far from one of the most suggestive stretches of the Etna - Ionic coasts and has a private path to go to the sea with a continuous (from 11/06 to 30/09) shuttle service, a platform equipped with deck chairs and beach-umbrellas with a direct access to the sea. Upon request it is possible to carry out guided diving in the very rich and very colourful sounding-depths in front of the hotel. There are two swimming pools, one of which is smaller and with warmed water and hydro massage (from 21/3 to 31/10, upon booking).
