Beach has chairs for a charge. Hotel is very old. Staff was good. The mattresses need updated. I believe they are from the 70’s. Could feel the springs.
All the staffs are superstars. They are really friendly and helpful. No matter anytime, they always give us a hand.
Positive experience, great location, friendly staff, clean and welcoming room, abundant breakfast!
This is a pleasant hotel with a big pool and dining area. Placed in a remote area and is 45mins by car from the airport. The staff are very helpful. The breakfast is basic eg: contential items cheese, cakes, yoghurt plus fried/boiled eggs, bacon and tomatoes. Drinks were provided in our fridge at cost so just be aware of that. If you need a kettle ask for it as there is not one in the room. You do...
We had a lovely stay here. Room was great food was good breakfast was abit basic but for the price ok. Would like to mention Angela the reception lady who was so lovely to me and my partner. She was caring, I am currently pregnant and wasn’t feeling great and she always asked how I was feeling and if we was ok. She also gave us information on the day trips and how to get from the the different stations...
I recently spent six nights in this beautiful hotel and I can totally recommend it to those who want to stay in elegant surroundings that are only a short walk from the beach. The rooms are welcoming and extremely clean, and the staff do all they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I particularly appreciated the professional and friendly service I was given by Lara, Sandra, Ettore and Renzo...
October getaway
Very cozy hotel, and convenient location, location. Decent continental breakfast. The owner is usually around and eager to help beds were comfortable. Would stay there again.
I would recommend.
It is exactly what says in the pictures. Room size ok, staff super friendly and helpful, breakfast simple but fresh. Amazing coffee. Location not that great, need a car. All shops around closes at 3 and reopen at 7pm. Safe to walk around.
This is absolutely fab hotel & Spa, I stayed here for 5 nights the hospitality of the staff are amazing if I needed anything they where so happy to help they exceeded my expectations. The hotel rooms are lovely and clean with Wi Fi and all the things you would expect & more. The chef! all i can say is Wow! he makes the most delicious food. I ate in the hotel every night and I was always impressed...
the room and balcony was nice and comfortbale
big bathroom
staff were kind
It has a very good restaurant within the hotel. You could also get bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast upon request.
We enjoyed our stay at SHS! Great location with private parking. Rooms are very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Special Thanks to Pierre Paola who was of utmost help when we remembered that we forgot valuables in our room’s safe!! She assured us that everything was found and kept our belongings safe till we picked them up👏👏👏♥️! Gracie Mille🙏🏻👏👏!
It's a very quirky hotel, overlooked by the brooding volcano behind. The atmosphere owes a lot to the history of the site, upcycling and exhibiting machinery and objects used there. There are a variety of room types, and we were in a ground floor room by the pool. The breakfast was continental supplemented by local produce and bakeries, especially the home made jams and yogurts! The pool area was...
It is very nice place to be, everything was clean and in good shape, the swimmingpool was perfect, and breakfast and diner where excellent. A compliment for everyone how works there!
Etna Hotel is a lovely old Sicilian country house with stunning views of Mount Etna. Rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always attentive. The hotel also arranges volcano tours on certain days, which are well worth doing. The main downside is the location—you’ll need a car to really enjoy the area. The hotel can arrange car hire or taxis...
If you are looking for an authentic, idyllic and slightly out of the way Sicilian retreat, the Etna Hotel covers all those bases. The views of Etna from the outside dining area are fantastic. All the hotel staff could not have made my stay any more enjoyable than it was. As an example, the lead restaurant staff member on my last evening there recommended the best dish (pasta in tomato sauce) which...
Amazing stay
Here’s a polished review you could post:

We had a wonderful stay at Etna Hotel! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. They went above and beyond by organizing a fantastic trip to Mount Etna for us, which was truly unforgettable. Everything was well arranged and stress-free, making our holiday even more special. Thank you so much for...
From the moment I arrived at the Etna Hotel, the reception staff set the tone with a warm welcome and genuine helpfulness. Every question was answered with a smile, and nothing was too much trouble. I chose to eat in the hotel’s restaurant every night of my stay – and I’m so glad I did. The two people running it deserve special mention for their friendliness, attentiveness, and the consistently excellent...
if you have your own transport it’s a great centralized location to some of the main sights of this area such as Taormina and Mount Etna. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the rooms looking towards the sea have a great view. The breakfasts are varied and generous. I fully recommend staying at this hotel if you want to stay in this beautiful part of Sicily.
Convenient Location, cute hotel and Amazing Staff.
I find this to be a little more than the classic hotel. Conveniently located to visit Taormina and surrounding areas. I can't express how nice the team is. Highly Recommend.
Nice swimming pool and specificities of an urban hotel but in a small village in the way to Taormina. Friendly reception team eager to help. A good alternative to B&B with some pluses like the pool and the breakfast for a better price than many others.
It feels like a nice hotel that wasn't updated much lately. Everything else feels fine, but the elevator does a very creepy sound, the shower in my room feels like one star hotel, crappy plastic door, broken sprinkle, 1990 year furniture
I honestly give 5 dots but it deserves 10. Fabulous structure immersed in a spectacular citrus grove. All taken care of in the smallest details. Spectacular rooms, they looked like three-family apartments. The owner is kind and super organised. Strategic position to visit the most beautiful places in the area. What to say. There are no words. Promoted with honors
this resort/estate is really big, little bit outside from the town, near the ocean. in the middle of a really big lemon plantation. its calm, relaxed and very quiet. the owner (and i think his mom and dad) were extremely friendly and cute. the rooms are clean and you also have a kitchen and a sofa to chill. also the rooms re very big. from some of them you can see the etna in front, very cool....
beautiful garden and well equipped apartments with
sea views and views of etna. we stayed for a week
and loved it
Great hosts .. exceptionally clean accommodation...serene and tranquil surroundings.
Lovely apartment style rooms, family owned business. Even though I didn't speak Italian, Francesco was amazing to deal with. Highly recommend the stay. Thank you 🙏
This is a perfect palce if you are looking for nice and quiet stay in Sicily. Big and very clean apartments in huge, beautiful garden

This is an oasis behind an automated gate that defies expectations from the street. Gorgeous rooms, beautiful grounds and exceptional restaurant. Don’t expect much from the Giarre neighborhood. The staff were friendly and helpful. We regretted the rain that prevented us from using the beautiful pool. Easy access to Mt Etna.
This is a funny place because it is a bit in the middle of nowhere. Giarre is not a fancy place and the hotel is on the edge of Giarre.
However...the views of Etna and surroundings from the room were wonderful and the service was informal and welcoming (as well as efficient).
Parking is on-site and free.
Rooms were fine.
The pool was big and innovatively put together (you have to go to understand...
A new, modern hotel with beautiful design and comfortable rooms. Minor drawbacks include a small shower stall (even though the bathroom is large) and less-than-comfortable pillows. However, the service is excellent and everyone is willing to help with any questions. On clear days, the rooms overlooking Mount Etna and the pool area offer stunning views. Breakfasts are delicious and hearty.
We had a very pleasant stay. It's quite remote, so a car is essential. The rooms are very clean, but a bit noisy from other guests. Despite staying five nights, we unfortunately couldn't use the restaurant; every evening there was a different reason why we couldn't dine. The breakfast is very tasty. There's a lovely swimming pool.
The property is located in the most beautiful spot with incredible views of Mount Etna. The staff were incredible and extremely helpful. The hotel is easy to get to by taxi or train from the airport. The food was delicious and fresh. Would highly recommend!!
Just fabulous! 🩷 A special thanks to Christian and Giusy, who are truly wonderful people and amazing workers. The location is beautiful—peaceful, surrounded by nature, with a nice swimming pool, comfortable rooms, and delicious food!
Beautiful B&B with great amenities, especially the pool! The family/staff were really friendly and incredibly helpful, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay near Mount Etna. Thank you :)
Chilled
Really Really impressed by the accommodation. Lovely friendly staff. Breakfast basic but clean and organised. Great cappuccino! We asked for late check out as we had a late flight. Staff very accommodating and charged us v little. Fabulous place, lovely little pool.
Lovely guest house, great pool, lovely breakfast, very friendly staff.
Simona and family were the perfect hosts. Milena’s breakfasts were fabulous!
Absolutely ideal place for a family and their trips around Etna. We always looked forward to the pool, which recharged our energy and refreshed us from the endless heat. Benefits: refreshing pool, room size, pleasant breakfast, parking in the closed garden, air conditioning sufficient for a comfortable sleep and very nice owner and his whole Family 👍🏽😉
Very Nice swimming pool.
The place is very Nice
Thanks Simona and family
Walk a few short blocks to the harbor and the plaza. Restaurants, bars, and local merchant shopping all within a few minutes. The room is clean and comfortable. Vincenzo is a terific host, and I will book here when I return!
The room was spacious and tidy. The breakfast was ample and when I explained my husband was a celiac they went out of their way to make sure he had lots of options. As it was later in the season dining options were limited and while there wasn’t much around us it was a good middle point to all the attractions around us easily reached by train,
I had the experience to stay at Casabella and I enjoyed a lot. Everything was stunning and we had great time. Its locaion is perfect and it takes more or less five minutes to get to marina. The rooms are perfectly clean and cosy. Traditional Italian or American breakfast is served depending on your choice. Vicenzo, the host is a very friendly and helpful person and he made our stay perfect. I highly...
Very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts! Big, clean rooms. Nice common area with a terrace available for breakfast. The train station is within walking distance to easily reach both Catania and Taormina.
Comfortable bed. Clean apartment. For check-in you need to go, to Tabaco shop next to apartment entrance. Room is a little bit loudy- in the night we heard nosies from a street, but it wasn't disturbing us a lot. For breakfast basic products, but it was enough for us, good coffee.
Very quiet comfortable and clean environment just as if you were at home in total relaxation The owner Vincenzo very helpful friendly and very kind! I recommend this place to all people, an excellent point to move around on foot and get around the city .. What can I say .. as soon as I have the chance I will return for a weekend 😍😍

We liked the view of Etna from our window. Friendly welcome. No breakfast available though it should have been included, and no refund offered. No kettle in the room. Shower very small.
Disappointing
From the excellent views I was expecting much better. Sadly on arrival the place looks run down, parking was on the road where ever you could find a space and not ‘guaranteed’ as said in the details. I have no idea what the water park is that they also quote. The rooms were very clean, and big. but I’ve never been anywhere that felt as unwelcoming and cold. The old metal frame beds were...
Disappointing cold and unwelcoming. On arrival I wondered what on earth I had done. Pulling up the run down streets, filled with rubbish, and the b and b had its shutters all shut- never saw the open. We went off and explored Taormina which was stunning and arrived back in the evening. The rooms are spacious and very clean but cold and unwelcoming. The old metal beds are rock hard and uncomfy. The...
We love the property, clean and friendly.
A lovely host that was very accommodating throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable, spacious, included a mini frig and had a balcony. The breakfast room had an adjoining terrace with amazing views of Mt. Etna. Free street parking in front of the B&B. Great location for day trips to Taormina, Mt. Etna, and Castiglione di Sicilia. Would definitely stay here again.
Very good location. Walking distance to city center. Approx 30min.drive to Taormina, Catania, Mt.Etna
Fantastic setting with attention to detail. Comfortable room and bedding.
Breakfast choice is not vast but the items offered were top quality
impeccable experience in the countryside. it was worth every penny and the food was phenomenal.
Nice spacious room. Staff does its job but is not welcoming. Staff wasn’t very knowledgeable on activities in the area. Town near the hotel is run down. There is only one restaurant at the hotel and it’s very good but very expensive. No other alternative dining option nearby. They charge €5 for an additional towel at the pool area. I would not recommend this hotel.
Hotel has a beautiful setting - Etna view on one side, sea cost on the other; the premises are surrounded by the citrus gardens. It’s an old mansion delicately restored; especially the dining area which was transformed from an old vinery. Restaurant itself is good, vine list is rich. So that’s all about the strong sides. However, the place is nothing in common with feeling at home; seems it’s not...
Ambiance and Michelin restaurant was phenomenal. Hotel room, spa and service was second to none. Citrus groves provided an earthy experience and Mt. Etna active night view was amazing.
Pure comfort
Had a wonderful time at our room with sauna and steam room! The bathtub and view of the Etna from our private garden were the highlights! Would go back for sure!
Fantastic and unique experience in one of the most beautiful B&B places we ever stayed. The place breathes history and is full of beautiful art and decorations with links to the family past. The hughe terrace is stunning and you have the best viewpoint and sunset views on the Etna vulcano. The rooms are very spacious and transfer you back in time with the beautiful deco high ceilings and styling. The...
Appartamento vicino al mare e al centro di Riposto.

Molto curato e accogliente così come i proprietari
Siamo stati molto bene!
Super ubytovanie v dome kde to dýcha históriou. Našli sme tam všetko čo sme potrebovali. Dobre vybavená kuchynka, páčil sa nám kávovar, práčka je tiež super, matrace boli veľmi pohodlné, terasa s lehátkami super. Obchodík hneď za rohom, do mesta kúsok a na pláž tiež.
We spent our summer vacation here and were very satisfied. We were not accommodated in the main building, but in the adjacent building, and the advantage is that we had complete privacy there. The apartment was fully furnished, you can really find everything you need there, it has its own terrace with a separate exit to the street. The top of Etna can be seen from the terrace. The air conditioning...
Very nice hosts (especially cat lady Arthur) and big, clean rooms. The lovingly furnished roof terrace has many great seating and lounging possibilities. The beach is also just 3 minutes walk. We recommend.
a wonderful building surrounded by greenery with a view on etna. hospitality and warmth of the owners excellent food. an unforgettable vacation!
Die Unterkunft ist super sauber, ich hätte auch 12 Punkte vergeben, wenn es möglich wäre. Francesca und Corrado sind sehr nett und so konnte die Wäsche gewaschen werden und der Pool wurde extra noch gereinigt! Er ist zwar nicht geheizt, bin aber dennoch hinein an warmen Tagen.
Cordialità, pulizia della camera e colazione ricchissima e buonissima!
colazione abbondante e varia. tutto decisamente al di sopra delle aspettative. la posizione l'avevo già scelta in prenotazione, si è rivelata perfetta per le mie esigenze ed agevole da raggiungere
Beautiful place, a lot of professionalism, courtesy and kindness !!!! To visit.
The owner very kind ... the house very beautiful and attention to detail and very clean ... also the beautiful pool. pets are allowed, even the owners have dogs. I recommend it .. I will return with my boyfriend and my furry baby
