Guest Reviews
- Iselin (10/5): Hadde et flott opphold - Flott utsikt, god frokost og middag, hyggelig personale, fine rom.
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Zeljko (1/5): Man kann so was nicht mit diesen Bildern anbieten! - Im Vorhinein professionelle Kontaktaufnahme, als wir ankamen, schickte man uns einfach in das Haus in der Nähe wo die Zimmer sind. kein Platz für eigene Gäste im Restaurant für ein Glas Wein. Das Zimmer war kalt und staubig. Die Umgebung unordentlich, schmutzig und unvorbereitet. Es liegen alte Gummireifen, Holzscheitel und Baumaterialien rum. Pool schmutzig mit Anschrift: Benutzung auf eigene Gefahr!
Wir haben uns umgedreht und das Anwesen sofort verlassen.
- Johan (9/5): -
- Anni (9/5): -
- Anne (8/5): Prima ruime kamer, mooi zwembad, ligt heel rustig met uitzicht op Etna - Grote slaapkamer en mooi zwembad Het menu voor diner is gedurende de hele maand hetzelfde
- Helen (10/5): Super stay. Real Sicily - Unusual and authentic
Truly a beautiful stay
Romantic and chilled
Great views
Great wine
Great service Nothing
- S. Müller (9/5): - Auf Empfehlung unseres Weinhändlers hier gebucht.
Lage ist sehr schön, tolles Anwesen (Weinreben, Obst, Gemüse) mit dem Ätna im Hintergrund.
Die Gebäude, in denen sich die Unterkünfte befinden, wurden stilvoll renoviert. Einen schönen Pool gibt es auch.
Sehr gutes Frühstück!
Das Restaurant ist sehr empfehlenswert, gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Zimmer etwas klein.
- Tom S. (9/5): Flott vingård som må oppleves - Fantastisk beliggenhet med utsikt ut mot havet den ene veien og mot Etna, den andre veien. Flott svømmebasseng.Store rom . Artig med omvisning i produksjons lokalene før middag. Og selvsagt masse god vin.
- anonym (10/5): - Die Lage, das Anwesen und das Personal, das ausserordentlich nett und hilfsbeteit war. N/a
- Margrit (8/5): - Schönes Zimmer, gutes Frühstück. Gute Lage, um Ausflüge zum Aetna zu machen. Wir waren 3 Nächte dort, es gab nur eine kleine Karte im Restaurant, so dass wir am dritten Abend eine Pizzeria im Ort aufsuchten, da wir schon alle Gerichte auf der Karte gegessen hatten. Auch war am 2. Abend das Personal im Restaurant extrem desinteressiert bzw. schlecht gelaunt. Wir haben das bei der Abreise schon an der Rezeption mitgeteilt.
- Sabine (10/5): Wir wären gerne länger geblieben - Sehr komfortabel,
sehr freundliche, aufmerksame Gastgeber
Leckeres Frühstück und tolles Abendessen mit Weinverkostung
- Matthias (9/5): -
- Ilse (10/5): Gemütliches Ambiente in traumhafter Lage - Traumhafte Lage am Fuße des Ätna
Sehr bemühtes engagiertes Personal Das 1.Zimmer, das mir zugeteilt wurde, hat absolut nicht meiner Vorstellung entsprochen, kein Fenster, sondern nur eine Tür auf einen öffentlichen Raum!
Mn hat sich aber bemüht und in einem anderen Gebäude ein Zimmer gefunden, das gepasst hat!
- Karen (9/5): Great place to stay if you are exploring Etna or want to take a day trip to Taormina. - The room was very comfortable and the setting was just beautiful. Breakfast was great. The pool area was lovely. It was all great.

Chambre spacieuse

- Simone (10/5): -
- Massimo (9/5): Location pazzesca ai piedi de ‘A Muntagna ‘ .. vicino alle vigne luogo monto romantico - Stanza bellissima con disponibilità del terrazzo molto ampio , molto pulita con bollitore e tisane per un momento relax .
- Lorenzo (10/5): Ottimo - Camera spaziosa, pulita e con una vista bellissima. Ottima qualità del sonno.
Colazione buona e genuina.
Cena e pranzo molto buoni con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
- Leanne (9/5): This is the 4th time at this residence, and we will visit again for sure - The location, rooms and the easy checkin
- Massimo (10/5): -
- Anzalone (8/5): - Ottima cucina, buon vino, staff gentile Stanza fredda, problema di riscaldamento e nessun modo di contattare la reception, il problema è stato risolto la sera perché esposto alla zona ristorante, tra le stanze e il ristorante bisogna prendere la macchina non è così vicino, si può migliorare la pulizia della camera tutto sommato una buona esperienza, staff gentile
- Isabelle (10/5): Extraordinaire - L’emplacement génial, la vue sur le volcan, le vignoble, la nourriture et la propreté. Rien
- Gaspare (10/5): -
- Alessia (9/5): Een oase van rust - De accommodatie was prachtig, onze kamer was proper en ruim, met een prachtig zicht van op ons terras. Mooi en groot zwembad. Het ontbijt aan het zwembad was heerlijk. Er werden verse eitjes gebakken, verder was er veel keuze in het ontbijt. Het eten in het restaurant ‘s avonds was heel lekker en rijkelijk voor een schappelijke prijs. Enkel jammer dat de wijntour nooit beschikbaar was. Deze zal je goed van tevoren moeten boeken.
- Anne (8/5): Un endroit de rêve malgré un accueil hôtelier impersonnel - L’agriturismo San Michele est particulièrement bien situé au pied de l’Etna. Le paysage est magnifique (Etna, vignes en belvédère sur la mer). Les serveurs et les dames chargées du ménage sont sympathiques. Cependant nous n’avons pas eu le sentiment d’être vraiment accueillis (comme d’ailleurs dans tous les petits hôtels de Sicile, hormis chaînes hôtelières ou palaces). Probablement pour des raisons d’économie, il n’y a personne vers 18h. Cela crée une ambiance très impersonnelle. Nous avons par exemple dû retenir seuls une excursion pour l’Etna car la personne de l’accueil s’est contentée de nous indiquer un numéro de téléphone.
- Sabrina (9/5): -
- Danielle (10/5): - This was an amazing place to stay. It's beautiful and set in the shadow of Mt. Etna with the sea in the horizon. The pool was wonderful, the food was always good, and most importantly everyone was so generous and welcoming. Can't wait to visit again!
- Simon (9/5): -
- Philip (8/5): Lovely location, friendly staff, great breakfasts. - Fabulous location, need a car if traveling around area. Views are amazing.
Wonderful friendly staff. Rooms are on the small side. Pictures of rooms on the website are misleading, we thought we had booked a larger room., we accepted a room that was smaller. Room 11. Did not like the kettle/fridge, being next to bathroom and opposite the bathroom sink.
Lack of drawers for clothing ( small writing desk) only a hanging space for clothes, no cupboards.
- Franziska (9/5): Perfekter Ort zum Ausspannen und Erholen - Ein toller Ort der Erholung und Ruhe, fantastisch gelegen in den Weinbergen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und rundet das perfekte Gesamtbild ab. Es werden gute und hochwertige Produkte serviert, die Preise im Restaurant sind sehr fair.
- Rocco (9/5): -
- Anna (9/5): Super Ambiente für eine kurze Auszeit - Lage, Personal, super Menü im Restaurant und gutes Frühstück, schönes Anwesen
- Enrico (6/5): Servizio approssimativo - La posizione, la vista Servizio non all’altezza della struttura, tantissima gente che lavora senza coordinamento. Reception che chiude alle 18, dopodiché non risponde più nessuno. Scarsissima illuminazione all’eterno, si brancola nel buio. Pulizia non ottimale. Servizio ristorante mediocre. Il tutto, rapportato al costo del soggiorno, non è accettabile.
- Ladislas (10/5): Beautiful Agriturismo - Beautiful location overlooking vineyards and the see and Mount Etna. Restaurant was delicious as well and staff friendly. Rooms were spacious. Done with taste, it is our best stay during our Sicily tour. Nothing!
- Maciej (10/5): - Everything was great. Starting with the staff, the food, and the location.
- Annamaria (10/5): - E’ stato tutto fantastico, staff gentilissimo, posizione perfetta, pace e tranquillità, vista magnifica e soprattutto vino ottimo.
- Monica Solnes (9/5): Fantastic! - We had room no. 6 which is a large and airy room with a large terrace outside. The room was clean and well furnished. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. The food was just the way we like it, simple and full of flavour. The prices in the restaurant were very reasonable. The surroundings are beautiful and we really appreciated staying at a living vineyard where you could observe production work. On clear days it was exciting to watch Etna. We visited the farm in October and there was therefore no service by the pool, but we found it completely unproblematic to walk the few minutes down to the restaurant. However, be aware that there are stairs and a short but steep hill to get there. It was no problem for us. Good to have a morning and a afternoon stroll. We were very happy with our stay and can highly recommend it. There is really nothing to complain about, but if we would have liked something more, it would have been nice if the wine tour had been a bit more comprehensive. Among other things, we missed information about the types of grapes grown and the different wines produced by Murgo. During the wine tasting lunch, it was a bit too hectic for us to feel like we could ask the staff for more information. There were several groups having lunch at the same time. But these are just details that did not detract from the overall experience.
- Chris (9/5): Relaxing stay on a working vineyard with a great view of Etna - Excellent relaxing agriturismo place from which to vist the Etna area. Good quality food at dinner is managed very well allowing guests to choose which courses they wish to have. Wine tastings for guests happen with dinner as well as at lunch time and span the whole range of their wines. The pool is a great place to cool off, with lots of facilies such as bar, loungers, showers etc. Their seem to be many well trained and knowledgeable staff ready to assist at all times.
- Peter (9/5): -
- Cyrill (10/5): -
- Maryline (9/5): Séjour dans un cadre superbe - Situations exceptionnelle. Un cadre splendide. Peu d’eau pour prendre une douche.
- Marco (9/5): -
- Wilco (5/5): Mwah - De locatie is erg mooi. Het uitzicht op de wijnvelden, Erna en zee is super. De accommodatie is verouderd en dan met name de kamers. De douche werkte niet goed en er was veel loszittend pleisterwerk. Voor dat geld zou ik niet zo’n onbehaaglijk gevoel van een kamer en de sfeer moeten krijgen
- Burgos IT Services (9/5): Capricho entre viñedos a los pies del Etna - Nos dimos un capricho y valió la pena. El lugar es ideal para visitar el Etna y disfrutar de un entorno tranquilo rodeado de viñedos. La piscina es estupenda, y el desayuno junto a ella resulta un auténtico placer. Se pueden dar paseos por los viñedos y, si se avisa con antelación, organizar visitas a la bodega. Perfecto para desconectar y disfrutar del paisaje.
Descuentos en el restaurante y los vinos por alojarse allí. No hay servicio de comidas o cenas en el alojamiento, por lo que hay que desplazarse al restaurante (5-10 minutos andando) , sino coger el coche e ir a alguno de los pueblos cercanos.
Solo abre en temporada.
- Ewa (10/5): - Neben dem wunderschönen Hotel mit sehr gutem Essen hat uns die Landschaft, die Nähe zum Etna, sowie der Weinbetrieb, den man anschauen konnte, sehr gefallen.
- Detlef Fiolka (10/5): Weinlese, Tasting unter dem Ätna - Wir wollten schon immer auf einem Weingut ein Tasting mit Übernachtung haben und wurden in keiner Weise enttäuscht. Leider einen Monat zu spät, das Wetter war mit Mitte Oktober schon etwas zu kühl für den Pool.... Leer
- Jeffrey (8/5): Aanrader!! - Heerlijke locatie met super restaurant waar je heerlijk kan lunchen, dineren en wijnproeven! Eigenlijk niets!
- Benedict (6/5): 3 star hotel in a 5 star setting - The location is amazing. The property has great views over the vineyards in both directions towards Mt. Etna to the North and the Ionian sea and across to the Italian mainland to the South.
The pool area is nice but could get a little busy and difficult to snag a sunbed.
Our room was ok. It is a 3 star hotel but even so it was a little more rustic and functional rather than luxurious but it was clean and quiet, and the air-con worked well… unfortunately the same could not be said for the in-room wifi and when we mentioned this it was dismissed by reception as something “that happens” and was never fixed.
We didn’t feel like driving at night and so ate at the restaurant both nights of our stay. The food was good but we made the mistake of over-ordering on the first night as we didn’t quite understand the “set menu”. It has to be said that the second night was like a different restaurant, same good food but it was much friendlier and there were more staff working who were far more interactive with us as guests.
We were touring Sicily for 2 weeks and chose to stay here as it’s a winery and who wouldn’t want to stay at a vineyard on Mount Etna? In terms of setting it delivers on that romantic ideal but we really felt that it was lacking in terms of hospitality. Unlike everywhere else we stayed in Sicily this hotel was not particularly welcoming and we felt mostly like we were an inconvenience to the staff rather than paying guests.
- Steven (10/5): - Wonderful property, fantastic views, poolside was a great experience.
- Graham (9/5): Excellent place for a few days in the Etna area. Upmarket Agriturismo well worth a visit. - The pool and lunch area were superb with great views over the sea and also Mount Etna itself. Very quiet and peaceful. Dinner location was also very nice with good, if not spectacular food. Only minor criticism would be that the staff could have been a bit more engaging and cheerful, the exception being the lovely young lady serving at the pool.
- Didier (10/5): L'hébergement idéal au pied de l'Etna - Nous avons apprécié l'emplacement de cet hébergement au milieu des vignes, le confort des chambres, la qualité exceptionnelle du petit-déjeuner (beaucoup de choix, des produits locaux et en quantité très suffisante), la piscine. C'est le cadre idéal pour visiter la région et se reposer le soir, dans un environnement splendide. C'est, sans hésitation, l'un de nos meilleurs hébergements en Sicile. Rien du tout
- Shuna (10/5): -
- Monika (10/5): Fantázia, pocit ako doma. - Ticho, výhľad a neskutočný bazén. Ako výhľad na Etnu tak aj na more. Úžasne Veľa komárov. Ale to je zase príroda.
- Mariana (9/5): Beautiful views and excelent restaurant - It’s a very charming tenuta near the Etna. The views were amazing and the restaurant was amazing! Real nonna inspired cooking. Breakfast wasn’t so good and the staff in the recepction was kind of cold.
- Megan Maria (10/5): Will come back! - Location, views, peaceful, bedroom was perfect, big even! Breakfast was fantastic! Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean.
- Francesco (10/5): - Tutto stupendo!
- Klaus (10/5): Tolle Lage ein Ort zum wohlfühlen - Super schöne Lage, wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit großer Terrasse und Lounge Möbel Richtung Pool.
Der Pool war klasse.
Ein Ort zum entspannen nach einem Tagestrip.
Das Essen war sehr gut und 2Gläser Wein/Sekt waren beinhaltet.
- Martin (9/5): -
- luca (8/5): - Struttura splendida immersa nei vigneti con vista mare e alle spalle l etna . Camere confortevoli con tutto il necessario Tutto il servizio ristorazione da rivedere totalmente . Personale poco professionale , materie prime non all' altezza della struttura. Personale che non parla inglese
- Louise (7/5): Pretty basic accommodation but good staff and location - The location was good for mt Etna and the staff were very nice The room was pretty tattered and the bathroom smelled bad
- Anna (6/5): -
- Ilaria (8/5): It was a lovely stay. - Everything was clean and an awsome space.
Flexible check in. The only yhing is that I booked a superior room with view.
But we got a normal room.
We were suppose to have a patio or an outside space or a view … but we didn’t have that.
I did not complain about that with the reception.
The lady at the swimming pool was not kind.
- mauromanga (10/5): -
- andrea (8/5): -
- Kelly (9/5): - What a gorgeous place to stay! The room was comfortable, breakfast by the pool was delicious, and the views were incredible: sea view to one side, a view of Mt. Etna to the other. The staff was all very kind and their wine tasting/cheese & meat plate was a great afternoon activity.
- Gabriel (9/5): Highly recommended! - Absolutely everything, it was a joy to stay here. Probably that I couldn’t stay longer.
- Antonella (9/5): -
- Takeshi (10/5): Exceptional - Relaxing stay in the middle of the vineyard. Beautiful views of both Mt Etna and the sea. Nice pool and excellent food. Friendly staff.
- Joep (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cindy (8/5): We loved our stay here and would recommend in a heartbeat. The restaurant could be improved by creating more of a atmosp - Loved the apartments, pool and beautiful grounds The restaurant on site was amazing but could do with a bit more charm as the set up was very basic. A bit of nice lighting background music and flowers would go a long way!
- Charlotte (10/5): What a gorgeous property to stay in! So peaceful - and safe. We have stayed here twice, once as a co - What a gorgeous property to stay in! So peaceful - and safe. We have stayed here twice, once as a couple - and once with all of our family (in laws and all) as we got married over near Etna. It felt like a home from home both times - we will definitely be back.
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Remigiusz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Tony (4/5): Wish we had stayed elsewhere 😢 - Clean, spacious, shower had no place to set shampoos, soap, etc: Stove wasn’t working, no one to call after 5pm, called for help but someone disconnected because they couldn’t understand English. Many of our problems could have resolved with an orientation upon arrival. The experience was not like the agriturisimo experiences in the Rick Steves books.
The housekeepers were outstanding! No descent knife to cut up fruits, meats, etc:
- Lynne (10/5): Very special place - Lovely breakfast. Plenty of options .
Had the dinner with 5 wines the night before. Super dinner. Everything about the experience here was lovely and special. The accommodation is separate to the restaurant which does not bother us at all but might be a consideration for some.
- Helena (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic wine, very enjoyable tour of the wine production, delicious food !!
the rooms are spacious and smartly located giving all guests a great view and privacy. I really recommend a stay there and taking advantage of local sicilian flavours :) don't miss out!
- Jones (8/5): Very good - Nice secluded area. Not far from places but not too close (what i preferred). Dinner and breakfast were not what i expected for the price but was edible.
- Lustforlife (9/5): Superb - 2nd visit and this time had the wonderfully located room 6 with its own terrace overlooking the pool and the Mediterranean. Great facilities. Lovely restaurant. Worth a splurge if its a bit out of your usual price range. Nothing other than one dish out of 6 meals we had was a bit average (the schnitzel)
- Marg (10/5): Beautifull agritourisimo - Beautiful location, first-class restaurant
- Lucinda (10/5): - This is an AgriTourismo establishment built around a working vineyard. The accommodation is sited uphill from the main establishment (500m above sea level) and has in front of it a lap pool ranging from ankle-deep to 2m, there is a ramp enabling less able clients to access the pool easily. There is also a jacuzzi pool. Adjacent to these is an open-air bar where breakfast is served as well as drinks during the day/evening. The main section houses a covered bar/restaurant. Meals can be ordered a la carte or a buffet-style option together with a wine-tasting option with on-site produced wines. Both options are on the expensive side but well worth it at least a few times. Access to the whole site is above Santa Venerina - trips to Catania and Syracuse are feasible, but for a quiet vacation by the pool this is perfect. The accommodation is clean and reasonably appointed - it is functional rather than luxurious with a small covered porch area overlooking the pool and fabulous view to the sea (7 kms away). The elevation change from the main restaurant to the apartments is quite steep - driving from one to the other is an option - visitors with mobility concerns should bear this in mind.
Is it worth a re-visit? Yes.
- Rosa (10/5): Exceptional - ALL TO OUR LIKING
- Katharine (8/5): Very good -
- Seananstee (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rosario (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (10/5): We enjoyed every minute of our stay beneath Mt. Etna. Beautiful, delicious, welcoming. - The room was spacious and the two doors allowed cross-ventilation that kept it very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the wine tour with snacks was amazing. We never used the pool but enjoyed looking at it from our room! The parking was a little challenging, but not a big deal. Everything else was exceptional.
- Jessica (10/5): Stunning location for a quiet stay gazing at Etna! - Great location & spacious quiet rooms & terrace areas. All meals were good & dinners were reasonably priced. Lovely pool & surroundings. Jaw dropping views of Etna & the coast. Reception closed on weekend afternoons. Fittings in the room could do with being updated.
