Amazing location and interior. Breakfast was very good and the hosts very kind. They recommended what is to see around their location and even did provide a discount for the Etna trip... Simply excellent.

Pina was wonderful.. LIke staying with family. She welcomed us with coffee and information, recommendation for a place for dinner, and some assistance with a sore back one of us had. It is central and easy to walk to town, the bus to Catania, the funicular up Mt.Etna, and is quiet at night for sleeping. Breakfast was amazing. Lots to choose from, and endless fresh coffee. Try dinner at 1877 down the road. The only common area for guests to use was the kitchen. Our room had no outside area to enjoy sun, that we knew of.

Our stay in B&B Alfio Tomaselli was EXCELLENT!!!Never been in a hotel and felt so welcome as in here. Pina makes you feel comfortable and prepares the breakfast personally. Alfio always try to help in every way. He also offered to takes us around and was one of the excursions we enjoyed most. Even my kids enjoyed staying there. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

Fabulous place to stay. Very comfortable rooms with good facilities. Situated in a quiet area within walking distance of some really nice restaurants. Lovely Italian feel in the village centre at night. Easy parking. Great for visiting Etna. Taormina and Syracuse within easy reach. But best of all is the fantastic hospitality, even lending my wife some shoes to go up Etna. The breakfasts are wonderful, we learned a lot about what to eat and what with. We highly recommend this to everyone.

We slept for 4 nights in the B&B with our children (8 and 10 yrs) and we loved to stay longer: clean rooms, outstanding breakfast, we felt the whole time very welcome. Sometimes while we were on the terrace in the evening Pina came with some fruit or tipical dessert from the area. The children loved to look at the 'tartugios' every day. Kitchen with oven and refrigerator could be used too. The B&B was very near the Etna and Etnaland. Both were really worth visiting and we obtained a discount for the visit of the Etna. Thanks Pina! Really pity that Pina didn't speak good english: it was a little difficult to communicate. The bathroom was clean but shower could be a bit larger.

Very welcoming hosts! We were much pampered. Pina prepared us great breakfasts. I recommend trying the chocolate pastries apart of the various homemade natural marmalades. She is very child friendly taking care even for any food we required to prepare for our 2 year child. The rooms are clean and kept tidy, enough room, kept warm too during cold days. Washing and drying of clothes was crucial for us because of our young child, and we were happy with the facilities provided. Other basic amenities such as baker, vegetable store, and pharmacist were just corners away. As we were driving with our own car we actually have been provided free space in the garage for the night which is basically under the residence. The location is superb for those who want a base in the south gate for Etna excursions. Secondly it is very close to other important destinations such as Catania, Acireale on the east side of Sicily. Her husband Alfio and their son who speaks very good English (and Spanish) were both helpful in many ways ex. Finding directions, suggesting good restaurants in the area and other interesting places to visit. We look forward to go back. We highly recommend to those families with young children looking for a family atmosphere. A presto !!
