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.
Sitting on the balcony overlooking the sea was great. The location of the apartment is great. The apartment is located in a cul-de-sac, so it is a very quiet place. At the same time, right in front of the apartment there is a beach and a shop also a few meters away. Bus stop again very close. The owner of the accommodation was very helpful and accommodating. He helped us with transportation from the airport. He was in touch and consulted with everything needed. On departure, he left us for accommodation until late afternoon!
The accommodation looks like the pictures. The location is perfect, the neighborhood is safe, the sea is very close and there are several beaches within 1 km! The rooms are clean, everything is new, everything works! We got towels and bed linen! The staff is extremely kind and helpful! They were happy to help us with any problem or question we had! The half board was adequate! Breakfast coffee and pastry, and dinner can be chosen from a separate menu in the restaurant, which also includes a drink! Overall, we were satisfied!
Thrilled we selected Villa Ortensia and chose to stay outside Catania in Aci Castello. Great location to explore the Mt. Etna region and day-trip to Taormina. From our balcony we enjoyed the sunrise over Ionian Sea each morning. Breakfast was a great assortment of items to kick off the day (yogurt for protein, no meat or cheese). Secured parking on street with gate. Easy walk to several restaurants for evening fare. After driving in Catania and trying to find parking, it's a no brainer to head north to stay and explore!
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 house is located somewhat hidden right on the volcanic beach in Aci Trezza. The host - Anna - is extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. The apartment has a really modern and clean feel to it with a super nice and modern kitchen and bathroom area(s). Nice garden and an invaluable secure parking for the car. Good base for visiting Etna, Taormina, Syracusa and Savoca. Beaches are rocky due to the closeness of Etna - first sandy beach is South of Syracusa about an hour drive away.
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 area is very charming and the view from the garden is exceptional. The bed is confortable and even the sofa bed in the living is pretty confortable and easy to open and close. The host are nice people, sent us some recommendations for dinning and shopping and pretty reactive when needed.
The small town and beach of Aci Castello are pretty close but of course having a car is highly recommended to move around since this house is in the countryside.
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.
It was our second time at La Terrazza, and won’t be the last one. Everything was great. Apartment is located right at the seafront. It has two big terraces, one overlooking the sea and the castle. Many restaurants, shops and cafes are within walking distance. Lucrezia (owner) is very warm and helpful person and she will make sure you have enjoyable stay. She also bakes the best pear tarts ever!
The room was spacious and clean, and the owner very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the free breakfast of pastries and coffee. The hotel is just a short walk away from Aci Castello’s main square, and a half hour drive to the airport in Catania.
Amazing and huge mushroom houses.
Naomi and Moreno kept us updated about everything and they well looked after us everyday. Swiming pool is clean and well located. Also we have had an own beach which is awesome.
We will back for sure!!!
Demenico was very kind and caring host. He showed me good place where I can have delicious food for less price and best place where to go to beach. Breakfast was done with love. Also location is amazing and the view is stunning.
The place is pretty nice and the host was very helpful in telling us where to dine and where to park our car. No problem on our check-in or stay. It is about 20/25m drive from Catania airport.
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,
The property was perfectly located for those wanting to explore Aci Castello. The room was spotless and the host was extremely friendly and hospitable.Breakfast was amazing.
Fantastic spot to explore Sicily! Close to the water, number of restaurants and an old castle.
Great value, easy contact with the host. Definitely recommending!
