Absolutely loved this property and location. It’s very quirky, rustic, bags of character. Only there one night as needed to be close to airport.

I chose this hotel for convenience to the airport the next day, and I absolutely loved it. It used to be a winery, and the owner explained the old winemaking process. Now there’s a large orchard, and we enjoyed fresh oranges from the garden at breakfast. The owner was also very kind and let us pick oranges directly from the trees. I really liked the antique furniture and decor, and the room facilities, including heating and shower, worked perfectly. It was a wonderful and memorable experience.

“Great location - easy to reach, close to Catania yet quiet and natural.”
I really enjoyed the location, as it is easily accessible and conveniently close to Catania without being in the city itself. The surrounding area is beautiful, peaceful, and immersed in nature.

The place is an oasis of beauty The staff is super friendly and helpful I got an upgrade Excellent breakfast and perfect place to relax Could not try the restaurant, but based on the quality of the breakfast, it must be worth it. It is very easy to park and to move in and out; also for security, gates are coded

Everything. The place is stunning. The evening meal in the old wine area is a real treat. The orange groves, the delicious wine. It was a perfect place to unwind before flying home.

“A pleasant and convenient place to stay for Catania airport and Etna tours.”
The staff were very informative. The manager showed us the blood orange groves and explained the avocado and honey business. Their own wine is served and is very good. It was near enough to Catania that we were picked up by Lemontours for our Etna tour and wine tour. The swimming pool is lovely.
