Perfect location, 2 minute walk from the train station. If you want easy access to the entire eastern coast of Sicily? It doesn’t get any better than this. The host, Rosy, is super sweet and helpful, serving breakfast everyday at whatever time we wanted, and helping us finding the substitute bus for the circumetnea train, which were partially closed during our stay (Easter 2026).

Gorgeous house and room

“Bellissimo!”

The Villa is stunning and whilst currently being renovated you can see the beauty of the building. Room was a good size and the location was fantastic being so close to the station, particularly for day trips. only 29-30 mins by train to Catania.

Host extremely attentive and helpful, very comfortable bed and lovely bedsheets, plenty of space. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the swimming pool.

“Highly recommended!”

“Central location, beautiful rooms in historical b”

Super nice location. Furnished with taste. Host extremely supportive.

The owner took great care to keep us satisifed. Nicely decorated and well-kept place, with easy access at any time. In our case, proximity to the train station was a big advantage.

Villa Maria is a great accommodation for a family with children. The villa includes a beautiful and peaceful garden and a perfect swimming pool. Very nice staff work here and our host Rosalia went out of her way to accommodate us in everything. She even baked us a lemon cake for breakfast and arranged a typical Sicilian breakfast. I highly recommend it to everyone.

We had a very nice and pleasant time in the B&B and Rosaria was very kind. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and modern, including a great air condition, which is cooling down the rooms without making any loud noises. The B&B is located next to a train station, what was very good for us, since we didn’t rented a car. It was easy to go to the next Cities like Catania or Taormina and even though the B&B is located next to the station, it was very quite inside the rooms! Also the garden of the B&B is beautiful and we had a great time spending our days on the sun and enjoying the pool. All in all it was everything was great and we can definitely recommend this accommodation!

“Fantastic home in a great location”

The location was great, right next to a train station, shops and restaurants. The rooms were stunning and so is the house. The garden and pool are well kept, hope to come back soon!

Lovely old villa with modern refurbished rooms, beautiful garden and pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rosy was able to help us confirm the circumetnea service times and villa is great if you are using trains and particulary want a trip to Randazzo on the old diesel trains. We took the offer of breakfast for €5 which was well worth it, Linda made us great coffee and was keen to please, expecially catering for gluten-free and lactose-free requirements. Giarre is an pretty town off the tourist routes and has a lovely centre, overlooked by Etna, and good places to eat. Riposto less so, more of a working fishing port with lots of pizzerias, but worth a short walk. Close walking proximity to mainline station and separate circumetnea station definitely an advantage.

“Perferto.”

Rosaria was very friendly and helpful to accommodate our requests. Always response quickly and make our stay most comfortable.

“Beautiful!”

Such a superb stay! It's a very lovely place to stay, the rooms are very beautiful and the beds are comfortable. And the garden is just spectacular, the breakfast on the morning is of great quality and Maria is a Superhost!
