Location

Hotel Talé resides in between the staggering Mt Etna’s smoking hot summit and the cool Mediterranean Sea below. Just outside the small city of Piedimonte, this gorgeous boutique hotel and pool are home to style and succulent cuisine that reveal the essence of Sicily in all its diversity and glory.

Ideally located within easy reach of Mt Etna’s summit, the beaches of the Ionian Sea, and all the charms and sights of Catania, Hotel Talé offers supremely beautiful views of the famous volcano and the sea.

Layout

This old property’s ten new guest rooms stylishly incorporate its rustic origin, adding greatly to their appeal. The mood created from harmonious shades of whites, shades of grey, dark volcanic hues, is one of extreme restfulness. It is enhanced by the minimalist interior design and custom-built furnishings. Some of the bedrooms are spaciously laid out on two floors with well-design bathrooms containing rectangular basins and oversized rain-showers. Some are situated amidst cherry trees in a separate building some 300 metres from the main building, guaranteeing maximum privacy. One room is totally self-sufficient complete with its own kitchen.

Special features

The fine Talé cuisine, designed by the hands of its masterful chef, carefully blends ingredients, gifts of the land, the mountains and the sea.
• The Talé swimming pool is surrounded by lush greenery where the perfume of orange blossoms and the grumbling Etna create a unique setting for relaxation and contemplation. Also, it prepares you to set out for an active exploration of the vast and fascinating volcanic territory.
