We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The room was very clean and well maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The staff was truly amazing – friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. The food was another highlight of our stay. Dinner was very tasty, with well-prepared dishes and great flavors. Breakfast offered a good selection, including a variety of delicious homemade juices and excellent homemade jams, which was a lovely touch. We only wish we could have stayed longer, as our visit was unfortunately just two days. On Monday, which was our second day, we were not able to have dinner since the restaurant is closed. We also noticed that the kitchen opens quite late – we would have preferred to dine around 6 PM, but had to wait until 8 PM. That said, the food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. Overall, a great experience – we would definitely recommend this place and would happily return.

“A relaxing weekend with good food and great company.”
The property is in an excellent location with breath taking views and surrounded by citrus trees. Staff were very welcoming, but our favourite has to be Loretta who takes care of breakfast. Apart from welcoming us with a smile every morning, she prepares all the pastries herself and they are absolutely delicious. We also tried the pizza at their restaurant which was excellent. All in all it's good value for money.

“A nice stay and if I had to visit one more time, I will do so.”
The property is situated below Etna, so you have views of the volcano which stretch to the sea. The breakfast was really good, the place was clean and the food was very tasteful as well. The property is in a very quiet place and the sunrise is outstanding.

“The scent of Sicily”
Located in quiet rural zone, surrounded by fruit trees. Modest, fully equipped and clean rooms. Parking was no problem at all. Great buffet breakfast was ready early in the morning. Very friendly staff. As we were exhausted and late we decided to also have dinner in their restaurant.
