Castiglione di Sicilia, a small village on the slopes of Mount Etna which has recently been included in the prestigious club of the 'Most Beautiful Villages of Italy', is the ideal place for enjoying the natural and architectural wonders of the lush Alcantara valley.
The Hotel Federico II is situated among the narrow streets of the medieval historical center of the village: a palace of the fourteenth century, completely renovated with all modern comforts.
Its lava stone staircases, embellished by hand-worked wrought iron, the warm hues of the walls that decorate every room, the intimate atmosphere of its famous restaurant "Sine Tempore " and the warm hospitality of the owners, will make your stay at the Hotel Federico II most enjoyable and unique.
Castiglione di Sicilia is considered to be the heart of the Alcantara Valley, an ideal place to enjoy an extraordinary view on the Etna volcano, and for having a walk or practice river trekking on the Alcantara river, and visiting the most popular destinations in the surroundings, like Taormina and Giardini Naxos.
There are many monuments and beautiful churches that can be visited in Castiglione. The Castello di Lauria, also called Castel Leone, inaugurated in January 2012 which hosts plenty of cultural events on astronomy, is entirely built on a rock and dominates the entire village. Visiting the castle is a must, especially for tasting the excellent Etna wines.
