Very comfortable and clean room. We were here 14 yrs ago and the wonderful hospitality by Stella and her family hasn't changed

Location near the train station Giarre-Riposto, it was really strategic point for travelling by the train on the SE part of Sicily, almost Etna mountain. Air condition in room was great.

“Great place to stay for travelling the CircumEtnea Railway with helpful staff.”
This is a 'no-frills' B&B but our room was large, clean and functional, with a little balcony and views over the rooftops to Etna. Riposto is a bit quirky, fairly quiet and a little tired in places but we were there to travel the CircumEtnea Railway and this B&B is handy for both the mainline station between Catania and Taormina and the little old circumetnea station. Its also a few minutes walk from the main square of Riposto. The staff were really friendly and allowed us to leave the luggage the next day while we travelled the railway to Randazzo and back. The B&B was very quiet during our stay but a really nice extensive breakfast was provided.

“5 minutes from Giarre-Riposto station, 10-15 min walk from Harbour, what's not to like”
Outdoor [if you want it, under cover if you don't] roof terrace for breakfast, choice of "proper" and busy Pizza places within walking distance, one was queuing out the door...

Friendly staff, clean and spacious room. Balcony with a mountain view. Close to the railway station, where you can get a regional train to the nearby towns (around 20-30 minutes ride to Taormina or Catania)

Only sweet breakfast was available but considering the Italian culture and Covid restrictions it is understandable. The lady who welcomed us was extremely friendly and even waited for us after the check-in hours when our train was late. I definitely recommend this place and the whole city of Giarre-Riposto, especially comparing to dirty and smelly Catania. Public beaches are pretty nice.
