Guest Reviews
- Hilde (9/5): -
- Tatjana (10/5): super Preis-Leistung, sehr ruhig, sehr besonders - Die Zimmer sind sehr schlicht aber ästhetisch ausgestattet. Wir hatten sogar einen kleinen Balkon mit weitem Blick bis zu Meer. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt im Zimmer und auf dem gesamten Anwesen. Für uns ein sehr besonderer Ort.
- Giada (10/5): - Tutto perfetto! La location è un paradiso Nulla
- Pappalardo (10/5): -
- Max (8/5): Goede plek om Etna, Taormina en omgeving te ontdekken. - Mooie tuin met een prachtig uitzicht.

- Amorello (6/5): -
- Alicia (6/5): Bien aunque la cama incomoda - El ambiente y la tranquilidad. Esta bien si te va de paso. La cama es muy incomodo y hace mucho ruido. La habitación no tiene aire acondicionado.
- Eugenia (10/5): Vas a querer regresar - El lugar es precioso, Salvo es muy cálido, tiene una vista estupenda, nos encantó y estando en auto estás cerca de todos lados
- Alessandro (8/5): BELLO MA... - Posizione e tranquillità. Pulizia della camera. La strada per arrivare. La posizione della camera sul retro più fresca magari ma senza alcuna vista e, soprattutto, attaccata alla strada tanto da far sentire un effetto "metropolitana sottostante" ogni auto che transitava.
- ROSSANO (10/5): - Posto tranquillo per un soggiorno in relax
- Corentin (10/5): Génial ! - Super hébergement propre et spacieux ! Le tout dans un cadre magnifique avec vue mer. Super localisation pour ascension de l’ Etna, les gorges de l’ Alcantara ou visiter Taormina.

- ricardo (8/5): Nice place! La playa de Marina Cotone es cerca y es super linda!! - La vista, el parque y los limoneros! Lindos Gatos!! weak internet Breakfast should have been included (increasing the price 5 euros)
- Ross (8/5): Tutto bene grazie - La struttura in se è davvero molto bella e davvero molto curata !

- Jesus (10/5): Exceptional -
- Svetoslava (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet, tranquil place. Super romantic and great for relaxation
- Tiago (8/5): Very good - Scenery Lots of rules, no window on room
- Ladislav (4/5): 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. Pictures you see lie. We booked 2 rooms and there were no fridge in one of them and no plates, kettle to make your coffe or tea or anything to cook/ prepare yourself. You will not be able to prepare your food, not because of lack of facilities. Only after our complains manager beeing quite nervous about our surprised faces brought one small fridge and kettle to our other room. In fact - there is a communal space/kitchen for all with all things needed and in the shelves but manager will not allow you to use it so we felt tricked into some "budget" and not complete facility. Which is really ridiculous. Everything is there but paying guests can not use it! The first thing you realise the manager really loves his cats and dog which are being pampered all the time. But when we asked for a possibility to make our parents pasta as we from photos expected kitchen and it was already evening and we were exhausted to find any restaurants (which are reachable only by car), we were told that "other guests left kitchen dirty" so there is NO CHANCE to bring your own food and prepare anything. We then realised this facility has rooms on other online booking platforms and all of those little more expensive rooms have actually it's own kitchen. We do not understand why a manager serve to people when in fact he really likes just his cats and a dog. We definitely would not come back as we did not felt welcomed.
- Pesty (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (9/5): Astonishing Villa in the green near Taormina and Etna - The location is astonishing, with a beautiful garden surrounding the apartment. The room was spacious, comfortable, and offered a great view. The host was extremely helpful: he assisted us with a late check-in, finding restaurants, and storing our luggage after check-out. All good, but I recommend avoiding Room 1 and other rooms near the main road. When cars pass by at high speed, you can hear them even from the bed. Other than that, the location and the host absolutely deserve a 10!
- Alexandre (10/5): Entre Etna et mer - Cadre idyllique, Salvo est adorable et sa confiture d’orange une tuerie !
- Giulio (10/5): A romantic escape in a Sicilian hidden gem - 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.
- Giulio (10/5): 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.
- Boris (8/5): Excellent value with stunning views—highly recommended! - We especially enjoyed the yard and Zora (the dog) & loved how close it was to Taormina. The rooms are simple, but very clean. The cherry on top was how accommodating Salvo was! There was a sewage smell coming out of the A/C, but I guess this is common with old stone buildings in Sicily.
- Tommaso (9/5): Wonderful - Amazing setting in the middle of orange plantations overlooking Etna and sea Historical buildings adapted to rooms, simple but convenient & comfy Slightly dark room A little humidity issue
- Lars (8/5): Great value for money stay - Good location, close to Taormina and the Airport Catania. Comfortable beds, AC working. Loads of parking spots and easily reachable. Some of the communication in the accommodation seems a bit strict, instead of putting up a sign for a penalty when turning off the fridge it should be enough to asks the guests for not doing it.
- Marie (8/5): Very good - Immaculately kept grounds and room. View of the towns below, from the garden, is beautiful. Ample parking. Room was basic but well maintained and nice size bathroom with ample towels provided. Our room had no view and the patio area faced a wall unfortunately. A kettle would have been nice being in a more remote area.
- Niki (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet and friendly place, excellent communication, wonderful views and very clean. A little haven of greenery - and an occasionaanbod brief shower to cool the hear
- Spencer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leventsen (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect
- Елена (6/5): For one night only - Very beautiful landscape, nature, nice place if you want to get away from the city The room is large, but not cozy. I understand that the design was conceived in the concept of minimalism, but the rooms could be made more cozy. This is not the main disadvantage, since everyone has different tastes and I guess this style suits my liking. The biggest disadvantage is that you need earplugs because it is impossible to sleep due to the constant roar of cars. Hotel is located near the main road, which was quite unexpected given the fact that we specifically chose a hotel located somewhere in the mountains. Tge check out at 10:00 is also inconvinient. It should be at list 11:00
- Flora (9/5): Superb - The location is superb and the dog is GREAT!! The rooms and breakfast are a little minimalistic, but it's still good value for money!
- Yanick (10/5): Perfect - Amazing location and super friendly staff. The rooms was very nice with lots of details. The view from the garden ist stunning. Even if you need a car to go anywhere we enjoyed it so much there.
- Mircea (9/5): Superb -
- Serge (10/5): Great experience just bring some breakfast with you - Amazing surroundings clean room and heigh ceiling. Good staff The breakfast for 6 euro was overpriced and you only get a croissant and jam coffee. Wont fill your tummy.
- Brodie (10/5): Awesome base to explore the coast and Mt Etna! - Clean, open spaces, big bedrooms, friendly staff, great views! It is very authentic and remote so it is a short drive into town for food and drinks etc.
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional - The garden feels like heaven.
- Bajada (10/5): Exceptional -
- Van (9/5): Superb -
- Iskender (9/5): Superb -
- Zuzana (9/5): 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! We were missing the fridge or basic kitchen anemnities (which were provided after asking for borrowing some).
- Maryclaire (10/5): Super relaxing and very well organised. Great host. - The host was very welcoming, organized and friendly. The place was exceptionally clean and the ambiance was very relaxing. Overall it was one pleasant stay. Will surely visit again. The orange juice during breakfast was super fresh and yummy. We liked everything.
- Robert (7/5): Good -
- Richard (10/5): 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.
- Hui-chung (9/5): Superb -
- George (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pastorutti (10/5): 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. We loved everything.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - I went to check in at 11pm, there was not one, so I had to get another hotel, please check my records with Expedia I would like to have a full refund
- Fabio (10/5): - We had a wonderful very short stay (1 night only unfortunately but we will definitely come back). Salvo, the host, is very polite, courteous and always available.
- Alessandro (10/5): Come a casa...anzi meglio - La struttura è molto recente bella accogliente pulita. Il proprietario è un ragazzo semplice, attento, molto disponibile.ci ritornerò sicuramente
- terry (10/5): Grazioso agriturismo a due passi dal mare - L'agriturismo è molto carino e il proprietario è una persona gentilissima e molto a modo.....lo consiglio senza alcun dubbio
