“I guess manager likes his cats and dog more than guests...”
Location is OK but be aware coming with car that you need to come trough quite a long slim street where no 2 cars can actually pass by each other so one have to stop and wait. And location is just next to road where early morning loudness from passing by cars will disturb your sleep.

“Excellent place to visit the east coast if you are with a car”
Staying at this B&B was an absolute win. The location is ideal, right between the mountains and the coast, giving impressive views without needing to go far. Morever, by car it is 20 minutes from Taormina, 40 from Catania, and 1hour 15 minutes from Siracusa. Vey practical for daily getaways. The host was friendly and quick to help with anything we needed, and the rooms were spotless, well-equipped, and offered plenty of privacy. Parking was easy and safe (since it's inside the property), with lots of space, which made everything more convenient. And as a fun touch, we even got to meet the owner’s cat—a friendly little bonus that added to the charm. This place strikes just the right balance between nature and modern comforts.

This B&B is set between mountains and sea, it offers breathtaking views of the sunrises which made every morning special. The host was incredibly friendly and attentive, the rooms spotless and private, and the amenities covered everything for a comfortable stay. Spacious parking and a blend of nature and modern comfort made this the perfect, unforgettable weekend getaway.

“Calm pláče un”
It is really nice and calm place above "Village" under the Etna. We are walkers so we took the train to Fiumefreddo di Sicilia and then walk uphill 2,1km to this place. We were here alone so we have qiuet every evening. Mr. Salvo was kind and so friendly to us and also when he founds out that we get there by feets he offered us a ride and safe way how to get to his place. Last day we order breakfast to taste his organic products from oranges and it was worth it. Gracie!

“Salvo is a great host and very helpful. This is a great place to stay close to Taormina at a great price 👍🏻”
Huge room with independent access and a great shower. The grounds were lovely with a view of the sea in the distance.

“A little slice of heaven.”
Great host and beautiful location on the hills overlooking the Eastern coast of Sicily, surrounded by greenery and citrus scents. The room was very comfortable and had all the facilities one needs on holiday, including fridge and shampoos). The breakfast table outside the room made us enjoy the morning sunshine and the view at dusk. We could enjoy the outside space, as well as the inside, also practicing yoga with our mats on the property lawn. Our stay here was simply great, we felt welcome and grateful to Salvatore for being a very kind presence.

“Ended up booking at another resort at my own cost, only slept 1 out of the 3 pre paid nights!”
As a frequent traveller to Sicily, I always enjoy staying at agriturismo resorts; however I have finally managed to find a lemon which almost ruined my vacation had I not thrown money at the problem and booked another resort at my own cost. I cannot elaborate as much as I would like to due to Booking.com's 2000 character limit, but I will list down all the issues we had at this resort. Huge flies on arrival in the bathroom, mouldy walls and an unbearable mould smell, bugs on the floor and a hostile host. The mould smell was so bad that we had to sleep with the front door open despite the late December cold and having a 2 year old in the room didn't help either. We only ended up staying for 1 out of the 3 pre paid nights and reported the situation to Booking.com after failing to find a compromise with Salvo, the host. All I can say is that this is my first ever negative review in the past 15 years for travelling to Sicily, between once and twice a year. In case you're wondering, yes we did ask the host for another room which was not given to us despite being the only ones at the property. He only offered it to us the next morning after he was contacted by Booking.com and the room also smelled mouldy. Some 12 hours after leaving the property Salvo, also tried to withdraw 50 euro twice from my debit card which was luckily declined due to insufficient balance. Salvo, if you are reading this, weren't 2 paid nights and 2 paid breakfasts for the time we were not there not enough for you? did you also have to try to withdraw another 50 euro from my card? Also, if you intend to reply, do not try twisting the story like you did on the phone with the Booking.com agent. I value my time and would not have any business writing bad reviews if this wasn't the case. I am honestly puzzled with some of the positive reviews I have read, it was totally my fault ignoring the bad ones, but I don't understand the positive ones.
