Guest Reviews

• Anne (10/5): Fabulous breakfast and lovely place to stay - Ok, so the breakfast !! oh my! Best breakfast, sets you up for the day, there's a lot but all lovely. Coffee is fab too, which is soo nice. Room was lovely, comfy beds, kitchen had everything you need. Lovely place to stay and there's the little shop where you can by home made produce - loved the mandarin marmalade! Very safe. You need a car, but it's a 5 min drive into Santa Venerina, so easy peasy. Easy drive to wherever you want to go. Can highly recommend : Antica Pizzeria Napoletana for dinner, they also do take-away pizza Nothing
• Stephen (10/5): -
• Lars (10/5): -
• Matthieu (10/5): - Very welcoming host serving an amazing breakfast
• Corina Ana (10/5): We enjoyed the time spent there, we would go back! - We liked the host very much, he was happy to show us around the property! -
• Leon Gerardus Maria (10/5): Onvergetelijk fijn! - Wij vielen bij aankomst onmiddellijk voor de sfeer en uitstraling van deze fantastische accommodatie. Cesare laat de natuur haar gang gaan, blaadjes worden niet onmiddellijk opgeveegd en naast de planten in potten groeit onkruid, maar dit draagt allemaal bij aan de natuurlijke en relaxte sfeer van het paradijsje achter de poort. Na een dagje eropuit is het heerlijk om in een (lig)stoel te genieten van de laatste zonnestralen of een wandeling te maken door het grote landgoed met fruitbomen en bijenkorven. Ons appartement was schoon, ruim, zeer sfeervol en we sliepen er zelfs beter dan thuis, mede dankzij de rust, koele kamer, fijne bedden en het allerlekkerste, zachte en frisse beddengoed ooit. En dan het feestje waar Cesare ons elke ochtend mee verraste: een superlekker ontbijt. Met eigengemaakte jam en honing (sla een bezoekje aan Cesare's shop niet over trouwens!!), liters versgeperst sinaasappelsap en nog veel meer verse producten en zelfgemaakte gerechten om op je gemak van te genieten. Wij waren er op onze rondreis 3 nachtjes, die waren veel te snel voorbij. Zoals gezegd, om na 3 dagen afscheid te moeten nemen van deze sympathieke, zorgzame en behulpzame host en de fijne plek die hij zijn gasten aanbiedt.

• Stanisław (10/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): - Todo!! En particular, el trato de Cesare , y el desayuno que es espectacular. Nada
• John (9/5): A delightful stay in a charming series of buildings set in citrus and fruit tree groves. - Outstanding host and outstanding breakfasts!
• Clim (10/5): -
• Petra (10/5): Der Besitzer ist ein wundervoller Gastgeber! Die Unterkunft und das Frühstück sind einmalig! - Wunderschön, eine Oase!
• Philippe (10/5): -
• Raphael (10/5): Parfait! - Accueil très chaleureux! Cadre idyllique au pied de l’Etna avec jardin et verger magnifique. Petit déjeuner copieux, délicieux sucré et salé avec des produits locaux
• Bart (10/5): - This is a wonderful place where you find only rest and be relaxed and where the Italian hospitality is shown.
• Andrea (10/5): Authentic, warm, beautiful spaces - Beautiful spot, beautiful farm, excellent attention to detail… and the best breakfast by far. Thank you! The East Coast Canadians😊
• Alinda (10/5): Heerlijk toeven op de hellingen in een prachtige B&B - Wat een heerlijke plek. Een prachtige oase met genoeg leuke plekken om buiten of binnen te zitten. Wat een uitzicht. Heerlijk ontbijt. Supervriendelijke gastheer. En de gemeenschappelijke keuken om zelf thee te maken of even te koken: heel fijn!
• Christina (10/5): -
• Viktor (10/5): - Amazing little farm right at the foot of mount Etna. Cesare was super nice and friendly, showed us his farm and let me tell you the breakfast, life-changing. Fresh and absolutely delicious. Can definitely recommend to everyone.
• Sandro (9/5): Sehr gerne wieder! - Das Frühstück war einzigartig! Jeden Morgen eigenhändig und liebevoll vom Gastgeber frisch zubereitet. Eine absolute 10 von 10. Die Betten sind eher hart und leider ein wenig unbequem.
• Arne (10/5): -
• Jonas (10/5): Einzigartige und authentische Unterkunft am Etna - Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt auf diesem authentischen Anwesen, Cesare ist wirklich ein hervorragender Gastgeber. Das Frühstück war einfach umwerfend und immer ein perfekter Start in den Tag. Da wir leider ein paar kalte Tage auf Sizilien erwischt haben, waren wir super froh, einen Palletofen im Zimmer zu haben, sodass es immer angenehm warm war. Wir können das B&B uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
• Josef Maximilian (10/5): -
• Christian (10/5): Meravigliosa struttura con un host eccezionale - Spettacolare B&B immerso nel verde. La struttura è fantastica ed offre il giusto mix tra comodità e turismo rurale al di fuori del caos della costa turistica di Catania/Messina. Cesare è un Host gentilissimo e cordiale. Ci ha dato innumerevoli consigli su cosa fare e dove mangiare. Sempre pronto ed attento a qualsiasi richiesta. La colazione meriterebbe una recensione separata: difficile descrivere a parole la bontà e la varietà offerta da Cesare. Generalmente non siamo dei grandi mangioni la mattina ma impossibile non provare tutte le prelibatezze che offre per colazione. Manca l’aria condizionata (ma ci sono le ventole al soffitto). Non abbiamo sofferto il caldo ma giusto specificarlo.
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Ellen (10/5): - Very relaxed, peaceful and friendly. Set in beautiful surroundings.
• Andrea (10/5): - The place was amazing. Breakfast was the best ever tasted. Nothing
• Ingrid (9/5): Heerlijk ontspannend verblijf op een prachtige plek! - Wat een mooie plek was dit! De tuin en de omgeving is prachtig. De host is super aardig. Het ontbijt was het allerbeste van het verblijf, met onder andere heerlijke broodjes, salade en jam. Ultiem vakantiegevoel hier! We verbleven er 5 nachten en de kamer had tussendoor wel gestofzuigd mogen worden ivm zand van de Etna. Verder waren de bedden vrij hard.
• Chiara (10/5): Dove respirare il profumo siciliano - Struttura immersa nel verde dal momento che si trova all'interno della tenuta del proprietario e con stanze molto grandi e arredate in stile tipico delle case di campagna. Colazione abbondante e con prodotti fatti in casa, da ricordare soprattutto l'ottima marmellata di mandarini tra le più buone assaggiate in Sicilia. Da riconoscere anche la disponibilità e cordialità del proprietario della struttura sia durante il soggiorno sia in seguito ( ci ha gentilmente inviato alcuni indumenti dimenticati). Mi è piaciuto veramente tutto!!!
• Chris (9/5): Rural setting - Lovely property. Set on an orange and olive farm. We arrived in the dark and rain and it felt very rural but only 40 mins drive to etna. Friendly host and amazing breakfast - far too much food but the fresh orange juice was delicious. The bathroom had crazy 70s tiles but clean and functional Quite a way from everything - you need a car to stay here.
• Lisa (10/5): A charming, beautiful and peaceful place to stay on Etna. With a GREAT BREAKFAST!! - This B&B is very charming and special and staying there was an absolute delight. It is on a working farm that seemed as much like a botanical garden. The variety of crops, trees, flowers, cacti was amazing and all quite beautiful. The pictures absolutely do not do it justice. Our host Ceasar was warm, friendly, very helpful and the breakfast he made and served was among the best food we had in Sicily. Fresh squeezed orange juice, homemade jams, creative salads with ingredients fresh picked from his own gardens, omelets, cheeses, fruit, fresh baked muffins,croissants, and on and on. And all of it the highest quality. We stayed there to see the sights on Etna, which we did, but it was so peaceful and relaxing to sit on the patio that we kind of just wanted to hang out...so we did a some of that too. Our room was very clean and comfortable and I slept extremely well on the comfortable bed. All in all, I could not recommend this B&B more highly! Nothing! We loved it all!
• Valerio (10/5): Best home stay around Etna - Cesare runs the best b&b east of Etna. His farm is lush and abundant with trees, plants and fruits of different kind. Stepping there makes you feel right at home away from home. Breakfast is prepared with true love and care for the guests, and is never the same as the say before. Some food comes directly from the farm, and everything is delicious. It’s impossible to leave the table desiring for more. The atmosphere is very chilled and everyone gets treated as a friend, rather than a paying guest. Last but definitely not least, Cesare is a very nice, kind and loving human. He’s a traveler himself and knows the surroundings very well. If you need a tip on where to go or what to do, he’ll give you plenty of recommendations, so much that you can happily ditch your Lonely Planet. La Casa di Pippinitto is a true little gem at the feet of Etna, which should not be missed. Spending only two nights there :)
• Anita (10/5): -
• Bianca (10/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): Ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen! - Das ganze Anwesen ist originell und lieblich gestaltet. Cesare hat uns ein wundervolles Frühstück gezaubert, hat uns mit Tipps versorgt. Total freundlich und autentisch! Nix
• fatima712 (10/5): Volveremos - Personal estupendo, especialmente Cesar. Desayuno magnífico y el entorno maravilloso El agua caliente tenía poca presión. Pero es un detalle nimio ante la experiencia en su conjunto: todo muy muy bien.
• Maximilian (10/5): - Wonderful host and property
• Juanita (9/5): - Lovely property. Lovely owners. Great breakfast
• Calogero (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit großartigem Frühstück in der Nähe vom Ätna - Wir haben 2 Nächte in dieser Unterkunft verbracht und hatten eine tolle Zeit bei Cesare und seiner Frau. Beide waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war das beste auf unserer 2-wöchigen Sizilien-Rundreise. Es gab frisch zubereitetes Ei mit einem großen Salat. Dazu noch leckeres Brot mit lokalem Käse, Wurst und Marmeladen sowie frisch gepresstem Orangensaft und Cornetti. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig gelegen und eignet sich hervorragend, wenn man den Ätna besichtigen will. Wenn man abends nicht in ein Restaurant gehen will, gibt es eine kleine Gemeinschaftsküche, die zum Kochen genutzt werden kann, falls man kein Zimmer mit Küche gebucht hat. Wir würden jederzeit wieder diese Unterkunft buchen und hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit hier.
• Daniela (10/5): Lugar cautivante! - El estilo tradicional siciliano de la posada es encantador. Amamos los desayunos: abundantes, coloridos, nutritivos, te disparan las primeras alegrías del día. Césare es un gran anfitrión, muy muy amable. Nos gustó TODO. No puedo pensar en algo que haya estado flojo. Tal vez el estacionamiento en la callecita, que es bastante estrecha, pero no fue un problema en realidad.
• Desirée (9/5): Fijne accommodatie voor reizigers - De hartelijke ontvangst van de host en de informatie die hij gaf (met name over bezoek aan de Etna) Het uitgebreide ontbijt De tuin met alle mooie planten en bloemen Verlichting in de avond, naar de kamer toe. Goed opletten dat je niet ergens over struikelde. Er is wel buitenverlichting voor de kamer. Deze zet je echter niet aan als je overdag je kamer verlaat.
• Julian (10/5): - A wonderful place to explore the area and relax among the lemon groves. Very friendly hosts and the breakfasts are to die for.
• Ulrich (8/5): Für den Preis eine tolle Unterkunft mit super Frühstück - Für den Preis bekommt man nichts besseres. Die Lage ist zentral, um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu besuchen . Bei schönem Wetter draußen zu sitzen ist toll. Das Frühstück hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Der Komfort ist den Zimmern ist bescheiden, keine bequemen Sitzmöglichkeiten, kein Fernseher , das Internet ist grotten schlecht , nur draußen zu empfangen . Die Küche ist minimal ausgestattet. Im Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis alles zu ertragen , bis auf das Internet.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Emilie (10/5): -
• Senne (9/5): - Huge, beautiful garden. Amazing breakfast with fresh food and juice. And an excellent and very friendly host Cesare. The shower was quite small. The water pump in the well made an irritating noise.
• Mathias (10/5): Empfehlung! - Super freundlicher Gastgeber, tolle Gartenanlage, wunderbares Frühstück
• Matthias (9/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): - Super netter Gastgeber, inkl. Tipps für Nachtessen und Wanderungen. Sehr reichhaltiges und liebevolles Frühstück. Zimmer sehr sauber.
• Ian (8/5): - Quirky, comfortable and hospitable. Lovely and plentiful breakfasts. Cesare was very helpful - good recommendations for a walk and restaurant Noise from nearby motorway
• Annett (10/5): - Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit ursprünglichem Charakter. Der Vermieter ist super nett, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist einmalig, sehr reichhaltig und frisch! Das beste Frühstück, das wir bei unser Sizilien-Rundreise hatten....Wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt!
• Alena (10/5): - The accommodation absolutely exceeded our expectations. Cesare is the best host I’ve met so far—kind, cheerful, and always ready to help with planning our trips. His care and attention were truly exceptional. The breakfast we enjoyed each day was absolutely amazing- full of fresh, local products and all incredibly delicious. The farm itself is a paradise on Earth. The garden is stunning, and the farm area is just as beautiful, with olive trees, avocados, and lemons creating a magical atmosphere. The supermarket is only a five-minute drive away, and the location is very safe and peaceful. I honestly didn’t like the fact that we had to leave and return home—it was hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful place.
• Rafael (10/5): - Il contesto,, la filosofia, il aiuto, le chiacchiere, gli informazioni, la colazione (!), il giardino, tutto incredibilmente una bellissima atmosfera piacevole e fantastica. Grazie mille a Cesare! Sabrina e Rafael
• Davide Baggi (10/5): - Struttura bellissima, immersa nel verde e nella tranquillità. Ad accoglierci c’è Cesare, gentilissimo e sempre disponibile a chiacchierare e a condividere consigli sulla zona: escursioni, ristoranti e luoghi da visitare. Una menzione speciale va alla colazione: abbondante, fatta in casa e con prodotti del territorio. Siamo stati benissimo! Davide e Alice
• Brunetiere (9/5): Excellent sejour rien a reprocher - Petit déjeuner excellent.domaine calme magnifique.propriétaire adorable
• Pablo (9/5): Excelente rincón de paz bohemio y rústico. - Un hotel muy especial, rústico, lleno de detalles y con una atención muy especial del propietario. No es sólo para dormir sino para pasar jornadas de descanso. Desayunos muy especiales.
• Hannah (10/5): Heerlijke plek vlakbij de Etna - De locatie is werkelijk prachtig. Zodra je achter de poort bent word je verwelkomd door groen. Cesare is een super behulpzame gastheer. Hij helpt je met vanalles, je hoeft het alleen maar te vragen. Daarnaast is het ontbijt verrukkelijk. Ook zijn er twee lieve honden op het terrein. De locatie is super, rustig tussen de boomgaard, maar vanuit de straat is er prachtig uitzicht op de Etna. Ook andere bezienswaardigheden zijn goed te doen met de auto. Het dorpje Santa Venerina met verschillende restaurants zijn op loopafstand (20-30 min) Er is geen airconditioning (dat wisten we van tevoren). Er is wel een ventilator aan het plafond en het is veilig om de voordeur 's nachts open te laten, omdat het terrein omheind is. We hebben alsnog uitstekend geslapen.
• Susanna (9/5): Establiment molt pintoresc i agradable - L’esmorzar espectacularment bo El llit podria ser més confortable
• Marco (10/5): Meraviglioso - Tutto! Un posto magnifico
• Marco (10/5): -
• La (10/5): Logement authentique - Cesare nous acceuille dans sa ferme d'avocats et de citronniers. Le logement est très propre. Le petit-déjeuner est très copieux et réalisé avec des produits locaux. La rue est une impasse donc le parking dans la rue ne pose pas de problème. De plus Cesare fournit des conseils précieux pour visiter. Rien à redire je recommande!
• Marloes (8/5): Prima verblijf voor een bezoek aan de Etna - Zeer vriendelijke host. Prachtige omgeving van het terrein met de boomgaard. We hadden er zelf uitzicht op vanuit ons raam. Het ontbijt is ronduit geweldig, bijna teveel om op te krijgen. Alles vers en met veel liefde bereid. B&B was erg schoon. Er staat bij dat er een bbq aanwezig is. Maar die viel wel tegen. Viel een beetje uit elkaar. In de omgeving niet veel te doen. (Etna wel op 40 minuten). Daarom was 2 nachten waarvan 1 reisdag voor ons wel genoeg. Zonder auto niet aan te raden. In verband met geen airco aanwezig erg warm, maar ramen open laten ook geen optie vanwege muggen en wespen.
• Simona (9/5): Bel posto - Il verde, la natura, i prodotti e il padrone di casa molto cortese
• Julia (10/5): Ein Juwel am Fuße des Etnas - Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet!sehr reichlich und super lecker frisch zubereitet. Marmeladen selbst gemacht. Der Inhaber ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die kleine Limonenfarm ist ruhig und hat ein ganz besonderes Ambiente. Alles sehr liebevoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Küche hat alles was man zum selbst versorgen braucht. Eine kleine Oase am Fuße des Etnas. Man fühlt sich zu jederzeit willkommen. Die Sommerabende auf der Terrasse lassen ein komplett abschalten und entspannen. Ein Auto oder Roller ist nötig um die Umgebung zu erkunden.
• Irene (10/5): Sicuramente ci ritorneremo. - Il B&B è immerso nella natura e curato in ogni dettaglio, la colazione abbondantissima e buonissima. Noi eravamo nel quadrilocale col giardino privato. Ma era tutto splendido e il personale gentile e disponibile a dare consigli per le escursioni. Ogni angolo delle zone comuni sembra uscito da una rivista.
• Kieran (10/5): - Great hospitality and breakfast. Close to Etna, beautiful local pizzeria and a 12 minute drive to beautiful swimming
• Bruno (10/5): - Parfait pour son calme, sa nature, la beauté de l exploitation, le petit déjeuner exceptionnel, et l accueil si chaleureux évidemment
• Vidmantas (10/5): Exceptional - It's really cozy place, big garden with different trees, friendly and helpful host and best breakfast we had in Italy. If you want you can even buy different jams, honey, wine or homemade limoncello. Nothing
• Sara (10/5): Absolute serenity - The property is well maintained and the garden is gorgeous. I loved that the place is super clean and the owner Cesare makes sure that we are well looked after. He is a very interesting well travelled man. Cesare adviced us on the walking route to hike Etna as well as restaurant recommendations. I also bought some of their delicious home made honey. This has been one of the best places ive stayed in during our two weeks road trip around Sicily. I highly recommend it and will certainly return in the future. nothing.
• Toni (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything; the house is beautiful and very clean, the garden is so pretty, rooms are big and even though there isn't aircon we had no problems sleeping as it gets cooler during the night. Cesare, the host, was very welcoming and friendly and the pastries he served at breakfast were delicious ( especially the pistachio croissant).
• Jevgenijs (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aneta (10/5): 10/10 truly recommend - The breakfasts were very good and varied, the location super, the facility mega nice and cozy. The host was a sweetheart, despite the fact that we had to leave early (more than an hour before the standard breakfast) he prepared us a full breakfast, for which we are very grateful A small inconvenience was the lack of air conditioning but otherwise everything was great
• Helena (10/5): Beautiful tranquil B&B - Absolutely stunning b&b on a working lemon farm. It was clean, comfortable and relaxing, and Cesare was a wonderful host. Really easy to get to by car with safe, easy on street parking outside. The local town walking distance for a meal if you don't want to go out in the car as well. The breakfast was exceptional, one of the best we've had in Italy. Super easy access to Mount Etna and the rest of the east coast by car for day trips. We loved it!
• Nicola (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing 300 year old farm, with the best host you could meet. His limoncello is the best! Even better is the breakfast with home cooked eggs and blood orange juice from the orchard. We did an Etna tour from there which was amazing. Thoroughly recommend for a relaxing getaway
• Christian (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place in a great location. Cesare is super helpful and has a lot of really good suggestions for day trips. Breakfast is plenty and tasty. All was great 👍
• Andries (10/5): Beautiful accommodation in stunning setting - perfect base to explore Mt. Etna. - Beautiful, rustic-style accommodation in a stunning setting. Large, comfortable, spotlessly clean room. Great amenities - perfect for a few self-catering days. Wonderful shared patio / courtyard with plenty of seating and views overlooking owners citrus farm. Great place to relax if touring Mt. Etna. Fantastic breakfast with homemade produce. Friendly, helpful staff on hand if required.
• Tetiana (10/5): Exceptional - The place was incredible. To have lemon garden behind the door was amazing. The host was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was very delicious and freshly made. Also there is a small common kitchen with everything needed. The location is close to Etna, not far from Taormina and Catania.
• Annick (10/5): Paradise - It was heaven , the room, the breakfast, the place, thank you Cesare !, Nothing !
• Sarah (10/5): Amazing location and generous host. - We had a brilliant stay in the two bed room apartment and loved the beautiful location of the citrus farm. Cesare was an excellent host and the breakfast was amazing. It was great to have the shop on site and to be able to purchase the amazing marmalades! It's a lovely quiet location but there are some great restaurants and cafes nearby. We'd love to come back! We would have liked a kettle in the apartment but there was one provided in the communal area. Everything else was excellent!
• Marvin (8/5): Very good - Very friendly host Lots of insects in the room :(
• Kerstikk (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful, peaceful atmosphere, marvellous garden, delightful breakfast and friendly hosts - true paradise!
• Melanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laurie (10/5): Fantastic would give 10stars if could - I loved the orchard lemon trees, oranges olives etc. so relaxing! The owner is so nice and helpful and great personality! The breakfast s were Devine I was in heaven, room was comfortable and decorated so Italian like ! Nothing, we took train which was easy but might want car to get around, we were there just to relax and take in beautiful walks so we were great
• Filip (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet orange/lemon farm with super helpful and friendly host. The best breakfast with cheese, Danish, yoghurt, cornflakes, omelette... Whatever you can wish for. Orange juice fresh from the farm. Great rooms and beds! Couldn't really think of anything.
• Adriana (10/5): Exceptional - Cesare opens his home to guests and it’s impeccable. From the furniture to the delicious breakfast in the morning, it’s the right place to be.
• Alexey (8/5): Very good -
• Colette (10/5): Lovely, cozy farm stay with views of Mt. Etna - Cesare was a lovely host and we had a very cozy stay at this traditional farm stay. The location is only a few minutes drive from the town but it feels like you're in the country as it's so peaceful. The breakfast was as fresh and delicious as the reviews promised. We enjoyed walking through the citrus trees and we were lucky enough to see Mt Etna emitting puffs of smoke and ash. The bedroom and attached bathroom was very spacious, and I liked the traditional rustic decor. I appreciated having the little toiletries in the bathroom as well. We expected this at a farm so it wasn't a problem for us, but note that you can't get wifi throughout the property. You get decent connection from the kitchen and the patio, but we couldn't get a connection from our bedroom. Not a problem for us, we were happy to disconnect!
• Craig (10/5): It was a memorable stay. We’ll tell our friends how precious this is. - Cesare was a spectacular host on his beautiful farm near Etna. It was close to hikes and sites and sweet villages and towns. His breakfasts were scrumptious.
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - A little slice of heaven, beautiful, peaceful and it smelt amazing. Breakfast was exceptional, beautiful fresh food prepared with so much though and absolutely delicious. The dogs were the sweetest and walking through the land was the best way to start the day. Cesare was really kind and welcoming and the rooms were very cute.
• Richard (9/5): An exceptional B&B with a great host, located perfectly to explore Etna. - Cesare was exceptionally kind and welcoming. His small farm and this B&B are a little slice of paradise. The breakfast he prepared each day was varied and delicious, well more than we could eat and elegantly prepared and presented, including his farm fresh ingredients and then some. The apartment and grounds are beautifully appointed. Everything was great, but if you make me answer the question what I didn’t like, I’d say the two mattresses which made up the king sized bed were each comfortable but had a distinct line between them, and I wish the entry door could be shut without it locking. Very minor!
• Cornelia (10/5): Awesome stay - The accomodation exceeds all expectations. The land is beautiful, the breakfast is fenomenal and Cesare is a wonderful host. Very central to visit the east coast of sicily
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - La Casa di Pippinitto was absolutely perfect for our stay in Santa Venerina & our trip to Etna.The rooms were well equipped & comfortable & the location, on the owners farm, was peaceful & idyllic. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh pastries, homemade jams, meats, cheeses & superb omelettes. The terrace outside our room was a great place to enjoy an evening drink & snacks & we walked the 25 minutes into Santa Venerina for dinner on one evening. We would highly recommend La Casa di Pippinitto
• Lucia (10/5): Cesare is very helpful, the surroundings are beautiful and the breakfast is delicious! -
• Philipp (10/5): Beautiful rural BnB with a stunning vine-covered patio and traditional rooms. - Incredible breakfast, beautiful views, and a place that feels authentic and local. Next to the houses is a farm where the family grows avocados, apples, lemons, olives, ... Two cute doggos. Very nice owners. No wifi inside the house but that actually ended up being nice as it made us get away from our phones.
• Bell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely wonderful stay and incredibly delicious breakfast. We would have stayed longer if there had been availability. Loved the dogs too. We would’ve love to know more about the farming, watering and pruning practices. Knock out stay.
• Liz (9/5): Ideal location for visiting Etna and Taormina. We really enjoyed our stay . Great breakfast - Beautiful gardens very friendly hosts . Very relaxing Nothing
• Haris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nanouk (10/5): Most beautiful b&b with excellent breakfast - Such a beautiful b&b. The host is the sweetest man ever and the breakfast is outstanding. The whole b&b is surrounded by flowers, fruittree’s, etc. The rooms are so beautiful and lovely, you even have a kitchen for yourself next to the communal kitchen. Good located to visit the Etna. The little town were the b&b is located is very dead. There are 2 restaurants, no bars, nothing. So apart from the Etna the surroundings are very empty. Has nothing to do with the beautiful b&b though. Rooms were bit too hot for us. But thanks for the amazing stay!!
• Vincent (9/5): Superb - The garden is a hidden gem with olive trees, orange and lemon trees. Caesar the host is preparing every morning the best breakfast we had in Sicily with orange juice from his orange trees, home made jam, Sicilian salad and cheese and ham platters and cornettos! Rooms are really spacious and beds are comfy. We loved everything about it. The atmosphere is wonderful. Nothing
