“A lovely setting, but very disappointing stay”

The setting and grounds were lovely and the staff who greeted us were friendly. The tennis court was good and great to have new tennis rackets. The location was great with a secure entrance.

“Unforgettable!”

Felt like going home. Also to wake up surrounded by the blossoming blood orange and olive trees every morning was a very special experience, one that nourishes body, mind and soul. To be able to drink fresh juice of blood orange every morning was worth the effort and the choice to stay with them.

“Keep it up for the good work”

excellent place and good food

“A wonderful and relaxing place to stay with a big pool and beautiful surroundings, highly recommend!”

The villa was spacious. The rooms were spotless and comfortable and the atmosphere was peaceful the perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.

Exceptional. The grounds are so well kept and clean. Staff friendly with such a lovely charismatic approach. Would definitely recommend.

Nice pool. Nice staff. Peaceful.

“Ot was amazing”

It is amazing, very nice location and peaceful.

“A beautiful oasis..”

This place is like a beautiful oasis with an excellent swimming pool. We loved our self catering stay here with a supermarket nearby to buy provisions for a feast. It is a great base from which to ascend Mt Etna for a quadbiking adventure. Only a 50 minute drive to the top. The road is easy so don't worry and it takes 50 minutes or so. The host checking us in was very helpful and spoke good English (He studies at Westminster Uni)....

The pool area was big and relaxed even the ambience was nice and peaceful

Friendly host. They took care of everything we wanted we just had to ask. Pool was perfect, we could use it all the time, also at night, the same for tennis court. It is a big estated fenced all around, so the kids could walk around freely.

“A beautiful place that is desperate for some TLC.”

The premesis are beautiful- lots of greenery, beautiful pool area and lovely country house we shared as a group of friends. Ample parking space and hosts were super accomodating and nice. Very close to Etnaland, so quite convenient for our stay.

“You want a tranquil holiday.book Gianferrante Agriturismo”

The rooms are way far from each other,so you can hear tranquility. The mature trees gives you a serene athmosfere. All you can hear is the wind hassle through the leaves. The upkeep of the place is superb. I will definately suggested to others. Few minutes drive up the hill you can walk alongside with the locals and have their Scicilian vibe. I want to thank all the staff and the owners for making this breaka very good agriturismo holiday. Thank you Carmel Galea From Malta.

We liked everything especially it has a style and atmosphere which is created by the owning family

“good holiday we went etna,did some shopping and relaxing by the pool”

the location was good only a couple of minutes away from supermarkets, pool was big and clean,airconditioning was good also,parking next to the room,pool was about 500meters away from room but if you have a car its no big deal.

The resort was lovely nice pool.. air con was good and efficient shower.

The complex in general is very nice - very clean, lots of trees and greenery, amazing views. It has a nice deep pool, tennis court, table tennis, dining area, and even a fully equipped outdoor gym which i only saw on the last day (not sure if available for guests though). The weather didn't really permit us to use the facilities unfortunately. Staff a very nice and friendly, amd if you love dogs you will make at least 2 new friends. The price is very reasonable for the season compared to other accomodations around etna/catania. The rooms/kitchenette/linen were also very clean. Breakfast is simple but nice. You get some freshly squeezed orange juice (I assume from home-grown oranges because there are plenty), some very nice croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast/ham/cheese, biscuits & coffee

“Stunningly beautiful agricultural estate, pool and garden; super accommodation. Car essential.”

The pool and gardens are fabulous and incredibly beautiful and peaceful! This feels like a corner of paradise! The optional breakfast (10Euro in October 2024), which is served in a large conservatory added to one side of the owner's 1800s home, was cereal, fresh fruit, ham and eggs . It is not a lavish affair but the portion size is generous. The rooms are individual chalets, each in their own secluded area well away from each other on the beautiful organic estate of citrus and olive groves, pomegranate trees and other produce. My two-person cottage had its own large, shaded verandah with sun lounger, table and chairs and a barbequeue. The view through the enormous, mature date palms was gorgeous. Inside the air-conditioned chalet is everything you would need for self catering; a large double bed, well-equipped kitchen area with washing machine and dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave, table and three chairs and a shower room. Outside my chalet, under the shade of the huge date palms, was a lawn with a plastic mini castle for toddlers but also one of many pools containing lilies and wildlife. Toddlers would need supervision, as one would expect on a working farm. The view was gorgeous! Ample shaded parking at chalet and main building/pool. The pool area is stunning! The beautiful pool is large, with steps down into the shallow end (but no handrail for those with poor balance). It is surrounded by terracotta tiled area with sun loungers with their built-in shades for the head that can be swung over. Overlooking the pool is a large loggia with sofas, tables and chairs, a vending machine for cold drinks and a bar - closed in October. The surrounding vegetation is stunning! Mature cactii up to 5m or more tall; wonderful, exotic trees and other flora, incredibly lush and a wildlife haven. With at least one decent restaurant, Paterno is perched on its own hill, with spectacular views in several directions, including of Mount Etna.

The location was fabulous and quite.
