Zash Country Boutique Hotel & Spa

Table étoilée Michelin délicieuse et généreuse. L'Hotel étant entouré d'agrumes, dommage qu'ils ne se retrouvent pas plus présents dans la cuisine ou les jus.

Bellissima struttura immersa nel verde, gestita benissimo con cura e passione. Ambienti puliti e ordinati. Personale deputato all'accoglienza veramente preparato e gentile. Due sole osservazioni, una sulla logistica derivante dai binari ferroviari praticamente adiacenti e ci vuole qualche ora per abituarsi al passaggio dei treni, l'altra sul personale che effettua la pulizia delle camera che arrivando al mattino è risultato chiassoso e schiamazzante di fatti svegliandomi. Ritorneremo sicuramente anche perché il ristorante stellato merita più di una visita.

It’s a shame this review isn’t higher. If I could sum up zash in two words it would be “untapped potential”. This property is stunning, and the food is excellent, but for the price of a private villa at $1190 euros it’s not worth it. As a fan of modern architecture, it is sight to marvel. But ultimately we felt the experience lacking due to the lack of service and minor details. PROS -Beautiful property is idyllic citrus groves -Private villa has its own pool, sauna and steam room -Amazing restaurant (good service at the bars and restaurant) CONS -We found a giant hairball right when we came into our room by the bedside table -Hotel staff comes off disgruntled and generally not helpful -Turn down service was virtually non existent (we left our key card in room and they didn’t clean anything and glasses sat on our deck for 2 days) -Nothing was self explanatory in room and the staff wasn’t very helpful (ac unit, sauna, etc) -then minor things were just icing on the cake, like when we left our kindle and it was just we can’t help figure it out (again minor but at that point we grew accustomed to generally unhelpful staff)

This is a superb small hotel, situated in a large orchard at the foot of Mount Etna. The room was fine--minimalist but large enough and with an excellent shower, but the reason to stay here is the outdoors. The pool is extraordinary, large enough for lap swimming and surrounded by comfortable lounge areas--and a terrific bar. And the restaurant is incredible: 2 star food in a 1 star setting (they're building a new restaurant facility on the property. We would return here in a heartbeat.

Ok but overpriced. It’s a good property but doesn’t deliver at this price level. spa is probably the best part of the resort, although it’s very small. We had water leaks in our room after a storm, toilet amenities are cheap, Pool area is grammable but uncomfortable. Breakfast is very good. Dinner disappointing for a Michelin Star (separate review).
