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.

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.
