We much enjoyed our stay at La Giara. Perfect location to visit the Etna vulcano. The owner, Patricia, was very friendly and recommended a nice restaurant for the surroundings to us. She also helped with finding an excursion to climb the Etna vulcano. Good breakfast and great value for money! nothing

Patricia, the woman in charge of La Giara, welcomed us warmly with lots of tips, and a good cup of cappuccino and cookies. La Giara is located perfectly in the city, with just a few minutes walking to restaurants and shops. The place has a good atmosphere, and it´s a good place to stay when you are planning to visit Etna, or want to visit the towns around. Be aware that you get a discount on the cable car at Etna if you stay at La Giara. Our room was really nice, with a balcony with a sea view. Not all of the rooms have their own bathroom. Patricia makes an effort for her guests, and she had baked a very good pistachio cake:) The breakfast is much better than other Italian hotels we stayed on during our trip, different cheese, hams, rolls, croissant, yoghurt ++

Patrizia the owner is very friendly, helpful, and speaks excellent English, and gave us lots of information about where to go, and provided us with discount vouchers for the cable car excursion up Mount Etna. The room itself was clean, comfortable, very nicely decorated and good value for money, and the breakfast was just lovely. Highly recommended.

We had a very beautiful room with a huge balcony and a superb view. The owner, Patricia, was very helpful and recommended us a great restaurant for the evening. And she asked for our preferances for the breakfast and we had (in addition to traditional Sicilian breakfast) delicious ham and cheese and antipasti ;D. And before we left she gave us a big bag of unbelievably good oranges that we happened to praise the previous evening.

The assistance of Patrizia in finding us a guide to take us Mount Etna Park at noon on a Saturday since the only bus available had already passed in the morning. She saved our day!! The room was great and the kitchen facilities were available 24hrs. Breakfast was good too.

Die Inhaberin ist total freundlich. Man bekommt gute Tipps für äthna Touren und sonstigen Ausflügen. Frühstück ist seeehr üppig.Besonders die Pistaziencroissants. Auch die Empfehlungen für Lokale war sehr gut. Durch die einfache Bauweise ist es zweilen etwas laut (auch wenn man sein Zimmer in der Nebenstraße hat).

Nuestra estancia en la Giara fue excelente. Bien situado, habitación amplia y confortable, fácil aparcamiento... Patrizia y su tia nos trataron genial, sirviendonos un estupendo desayuno, casi a la carta. Nos indicó las posibilidades de excursión por el Etna y la ciudad de Catania. Y esto en perfecto castellano. Un hotel muy recomendable.

Para empezar el recibimiento ha sido excelente, aun cuando no estaba la dueña Patricia nos atendio su tia muy amable y encantadora, nos ha recomendado un restaurante donde cenar y nos ha preparado un desayuno delicioso, el ambiente es muy familiar con la comodidad de tener el coche en el parking privado gratuito, y sin conocernos Patricia ha tenido el detalle de llamarnos por telefono para saber que tal estabamos y para darnos un saludo de bienvenida e indicaciones sobre la subida al Etna ( por cierto nos hicieron un 20% de dto. Por estar alojados aqui)...Ha sido una estancia muy agradable y es una lastima que solo estuvieramos 1 noche, totalmente recomendable!!!! Nos ha gustado todo, no tenemos ninguna queja!!!

El trato personalizado y la atención a los clientes. Tuvimos alguna queja sobre la habitación que resolvieron casi inmediatamente. Nos dieron excelentes indicaciones sobre los lugares a visitar y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. La ubicación es buena para tener un coche de alquiler, está en las laderas del Etna y equidistante de Taormina y Siracusa. Quizá el tráfico de hora punta en las tardes hace farragoso el acceso desde la costa pero es mejor que estar en la ciudad.

Accueil exceptionnel, Patrizia parle bien français, ce qui est plutôt rare et donne des informations précieuses. Petit déjeuner varié, même des oeufs si on le souhaite. Chambre propre et grande porte qui donne sur un balcon avec meubles patio. Bravo à Francesca et Patrizia pour ce bel endroit chaleureux que je recommanderais les yeux fermés.

Bien situé, proche du centre et au pied de l'Etna. Bon petit déjeuner avec croissants. Pas accès Wifi pendant 2 jours. Douche froide et sans pression le premier matin. La personne qui nous a accueilli qui n'était pas la propriétaire ne parlait qu'italien et ne savait pas nous donner des conseils pour visiter l'Etna. Or la propriétaire que nous avons vu le dernier jour connaît beaucoup de bons filons.

La cortesia e la disponibilità della proprietaria. La struttura è graziosa e pulitissima, e la posizione in cui è ubicata permette di raggiungere in poco tempo diverse località di interesse turistico. Davvero consigliato!

Een zeer grote en mooie kamer met prima badkamer en groot balkon met een zitje. Zeer goede bedden en heel schoon. De eigenares geeft zeer veel informatie over bezienswaardigheden. Goed ontbijt. Het enige minpuntje is dat het op de eerste verdieping is zonder lift, dus voor ouderen misschien wat lastig om de koffer naar boven te dragen.

Gastvrije ontvangst. Uitstekend en uitgebreid ontbijt. Gastvrouw staat steeds paraat met nuttige tips voor uitstappen en locale restaurants ! Enig bedenking : soms veel verkeer en dus wat lawaai

Nicolosi is een levendig plaatsje, goed om te verblijven. De prijs en kwaliteitsverhouding van de B&B is zeer goed. De eigenaresse spreekt goed Engels en kan veel vertellen en uitleggen over de omgeving, als je daar behoefte aan zou hebben. Je krijgt de sleutels en kunt dus gaan en komen wanneer je wilt. Parkeren van de auto is ook mogelijk. Mooie kamers; wij hadden er een met uitzicht op de zee. De diverse routes naar Nicolosi kunnen verwarrend zijn, worden ook niet al te goed aangegeven. Neem een goede kaart van de omgeving mee want de routeplanner van bookings.com is niet heel duidelijk. Houd rekening ermee dat het verkeer druk kan zijn. Soms een beetje gehorig maar niet heel erg.

La atención del hotel es excelente. Los consejos de Patrizia nos sirvieron para nuestra estancia cerca del Etna y, también, para nuestro viaje por toda Sicilia. Muy recomendable por su ambiente familiar y agradable y, también, por un desayuno delicioso y muy completo. De lo mejor de Sicilia en alojamientos, y a buen precio.

C'est plus un b&b ( logement chez l'habitant) que réellement un hôtel. L'accueil est exceptionnel !
