The view was spectacular and the property was quite lovely. The staff, or rather the family that run the property are also very charming. We will 100% come back.
Located 558 feet from the rocky beach of Cannizzaro, Il Giardino Dei Limoni offers a terrace and a garden. This bed and breakfast features simple rooms with free Wi-Fi.

The room was comfortable and had all we needed. The garden was very cute and the breakfast area was nicely decorated. Communication with host was easy and efficient. He suggested a restaurant to have sea food which was excellent. We overall enjoyed our stay very much. Also, very fast internet
La Castellese enjoys a location in Aci Castello, 29 miles from Isola Bella and 30 miles from Taormina Cable Car – Upper Station.

The size of the room and bathroom were perfect. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was so relaxing and nice to sit on. A one minute walk to the water and to a few delicious restaurants. Even though it is part of someone’s home I felt very comfortable and welcome. My host was also a huge help in figuring out transportation.
Set in the historic center of Aci Castello, 0.6 mi from Acitrezza, Borgo Marinaro features a terrace fitted with tables, chairs and parasols. The beach is 656 feet away.
Providing a garden, Casa Scogliera provides accommodations in Aci Castello. This apartment offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk, and free Wifi. Staff on site can arrange a shuttle...

Locals were rude and often very Arrogant and attempted to overcharge far too many times. They hope you won’t challenge them about it. My advice is , Ask how much before paying and Check your receipts and bills .
The town is scruffy and dirty. The vast amounts of discarded Rubbish on the streets is difficult to ignore. Definitely would not return.
Positive note : The sea view and the sunset is beautiful.

Actually Frasteva is located in the town of Valverde not in...
Actually Frasteva is located in the town of Valverde not in Aci Castello, which is a short drive awa. It is more inland than Aci Castello and it is convenient to all of the towns that make up "Paesi Etnei", that is, the little towns on the southeastern slope of Mount Etna, which are suburbs of Catania. It is a great jumping off point for Taormina, Catania and Siracusa and is a twenty-five minute ride to the airport, depending on traffic.
What makes this newly renovated and picturesque venue a perfect stay are the wonderful accomodations and the personal and cheery attention to detail given to all that stay there by its host, Stefania. She is simply an absolute pleasure to interact with. I am going there the next time I return to the Catania area and I assure anyone who stays there that they will not be disappointed.

Aci Trezza is beautiful...the place we stayed in is NOT!
Aci Trezza is beautiful...the place we stayed in is NOT! It had literally a derelict entrance, with wires dangling from the ceiling, parts of which appeared to be about to give in; filthy place (I was expecting to see rats it was that bad!)....It is NOT close to the beach (although the place had a seaview); I would certainly NOT recommend to anybody! Will most certainly not book again! If I were to rate it honestly I would give a 2/10 and the 2 is only for the seaview!

Very quiet place .. Small but very connected to the sea.
Very quiet place .. Small but very connected to the sea. So fish is staple. It is a bit laid back . Think basic and you will love it.
It is such a shame that the towns coming down to Aci Castello (note that this town is close to sea level) have a lot of garbage scattered around and gives you a very different vibe of this beautiful basic fishing village ..

Aci Castello is a great place to stay if you want to explore...
Aci Castello is a great place to stay if you want to explore the area - the wonderful coastline up to Taormina, the great sights while trekking around Etna, and breathtaking villages like Castiglione di Sicilia.
Aci Castello is smaller and quieter than its walk-to, more touristy neighbour Aci Trezzo, and 'The Sea You Can Feel' is a unique place to stay, perched high above the rocky coastline. There are stunning 360 degree views from the spacious roof terrace, a perfect place to indulge in a sundowner or two, whilst the 'lookout' below has 3 walls of windows for relaxing and taking in the amazing location!
The owners, Giuseppe and Antonella are passionate about Sicily and gave us loads of useful advice.
This apartment is beautifully remodelled and equipped with everything that one may think of. The views from the terrace and the living room are gorgeous. The apartment is very comfortable for two couples since there are two well-separated bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Everything was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated and organised to provide comfort for the guests. The hosts are very nice and communication with them was effortless and effective. They also provided excellent suggestions about restaurants and local attractions.
The location of the apartment is perfect, only 5 minutes from the sea, a grocery store, and great restaurants! The host was so kind, and nice, when we arrived she welcomed us with delicious sweets! The apartment is really clean and comfortable, the pillows are amazing to sleep on! The balconies were a blessing and the view was great, on the roof the terrace is easily accessible and a great place to relax, or sunbathe! It was a pleasure to stay here, and if we come back to Sicily we will definitely stay here again!
The apartement is located directly in front of the sea shore. We enjoyed the morning breakfast on the huge balcony with a view on the sea and the castle. In the premises are some bakeries, a supermarkt, restaurants, café and a fish dealer. We've met a lot of very nice and kind inhabitants of the village. The accomodation was excellent, clean, well equipped (dish washer, oven, washing machine, TV with internet connection, WLAN, etc.) The cleaning lady was very kind. We really had a wonderful time there!
La Terrazza was delightful. Federico and his mom are wonderful, caring hosts. The B&B is spotlessly clean and modern, and has just four rooms, so it's very quiet and intimate. View from the terrace is spectacular, and we could easily walk into Aci Castello or Aci Trezza from its location. Our room was comfortable, and the bathroom was larger and better-appointed than most in Sicily. There is secure parking inside the house's gated entrance--a real bonus.
The apartment was a fantastic find. It has kitchen, sitting room, bathroom, bedroom, and then a terrace with a view looking right at the Castello Normanno and the sea. The ground floor is a restaurant, but there are plenty more around town. The town square (one block away, in front of the castle) was lovely and lively. Oh- the washing machine was a convenience, as we had been in hotels the previous few nights.
Peppe our host made us welcomed at his place, the the hospitality service is beyond exceptional. He was very helpful on all of our inquiries on the area. Breakfast was very lavish and delicious. The facilities were all very clean and the views of Aci Castello, particularly in the morning, were just breathtaking! Grazie tanto - we will definitely be back! :)
The apartment is clean comfortable and big enough to accommodate our family of two adults, 8 yrs old child and 1h old toddler. It is located on a very convenient place that we used for exploring Catania and the east Sicilian coast. We used the option to park our rent-a-car in front of the building which makes loading/unloading of the kids very easy.
It's a super quiet and spacey place offering complete privacy. The host - Iolanda - was very friendly and gave us lots of tips. The Apartment is located approx. 3 min from the sea, 1 min. to bus stop, 1 min to shop. 20 min walk to Aci Castello castle. You can rent a pedal boat and explore the Rock of Cyclopes or go along the seaside.
I sought a calm and secluded place for part of my vacation and this place exceeds my expectation. Such a warm welcome from owners (special thanks for Erminia for answering all my questions). Also I've liked the garden - small and cosy and a nice beach club is located just nearby (literally 1 minute walk).
We love the location and the hotel it is a small hotel with super clean modern rooms this is our second time there in less than a month. We love the staff and breakfast is always super fresh. We also love that there is a small parking area just across the road and our car is really safe there.
Great welcoming place. The host Peppe solves all problems, gives tips for travel destinations, makes a good Sicilian breakfast, talks about things between earth and heaven. In this accommodation, you get much more than just a place to sleep.
Otherwise we prefer hotel accommodation, but what Villa Etelka offers, with the signora owner, is at the level of a 5-star hotel. Hospitality, dedication, tidiness, everything! thanks for everything, and we recommend it to everyone!
Very warm welcome by host Salvo. Comfy rooms, great breakfast. Very close to the sea and a bus stop to Catania at a very short distance (less than 5 mins walk). Quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.
The apartment is clean, comfortable, well equipped and organized. The owner is very kind and helpful. The location is perfect if you like to visit Catania and its surrounding,
