This town has so much charm and everyone here is so lovely. We enjoyed going on a long walk around the neighborhood, and at night the whole town comes alive in the Piazza. These folks know how to have fun!

Anyone staying in Nicolosi for a holiday needs their own...
Anyone staying in Nicolosi for a holiday needs their own transport. Sicily is not like Malta and doesn't have a good public bus service, sadly.
Also you need to be a very confident driver if you are considering hiring a car there. It's every man/woman for himself.
The only other way to get around is by booking tours, which do seem to be plentiful.
Plenty of good places in Nicolosi to eat and well stocked supermarkets.
My only criticism really is the amount or rubbish left on the road sides, which seems such a shame for such a beautiful civilised place and is something that local councils really need to address.

Very scenic and a quaint village.
Very scenic and a quaint village. You will need own transportation to be more free to go where you want. They have rosticcierie for lunch and food is lovely.
For pizza, particularly if you have intolerances, order from Punto ICS - excellent and does delivery.
We also ate at La Baita di Rosemary, prices are affordable and they have a varied menu but isn't ideal for food intolerances, though they do oblige for food for children.

Nicolosi is a vibrant town with lots of delicious restaurants. It is very easy to get to Etna from here, and good travel link to other tourist attractions such as Taormina, Catania, Aci Reale. Comparing to Catania, Nicolosi is much quieter, cleaner and we feel very safe in this town.

Great location for visiting Etna and the region.
Great location for visiting Etna and the region. Unfortunately, constant dogs barking meant that we couldn't use place to relax in-between excursions. Host has 7 dogs and most neighbours do too, we took are dog, but he is trained. Host was nice, English not so good but neither is my Italian so not really an issue. Patio of place was full of ash on our arrival, which could have been swept up in 2 mins and avoided being walked inside. I don't know if it is mentioned in the description the amount of dogs the owner has, but if somebody has a fear of dogs or small children who are a bit dog wary, this is not the place for you. You do not come into contact with them but you are well aware of their presence.

Tourist town. I regret we had stayed there.
Tourist town. I regret we had stayed there. Was hard to find an honest and authentic place to eat. Lost of repelling restaurants.
Luckily we were recomended by our host to eat at Scorzonera and it was worth it.
Angela the owner could not be any nicer and loves what she does. And boy does it show. This kind of personal attention is what makes travel a joy to us. The location is perfect for those wishing to visit Etna, and the B&B was a fantastic value. Pool is lovely and kept very clean. Breakfast was highlighted by a homemade pistachio croissant we found close to divine! Even the coffee was first rate. Walking distance to town and great food. Private parking too. Highly recommended!
The owners are very friendly. They also suggested some restaurants where we can eat in the evening. In fact they also booked the table for us at one of the restaurants. They also gave us some vouchers to use when we went to visit Etna mountain which saved us a lot of money during lunch there. The location is very close to many attractions and shopping places and the area around the house is very peaceful. Definitely recommend the property .
The place in the middle of the park of Etna is really great, the atmosphere is magic, is peaceful( except for the Vulcano😉) the place has a breathtaking view. The villa is full of charm and all the modern confort. Thanks to Giuseppe a nice and professional host. A special thanks to Giusi a lovely madame who cooked for us some really nice homemade recipes. Che delizia! Grazie
Everything was excellent. Perfect location for Etna activities and yet in the centre of Nicolosi close to shops and restaurants. Safe parking, heated room, fast checkin/out, delicious breakfast. But most of all the friendliness, courtesy and attention to details of the hosts, very nice family feeling with high level of professionalism. Highly recommended!
Excellent location for nature and peacefulness. The property is close to Mt. Etna and surrounded by a national park. Also perfect for families with children and pets, where they can run around outside in the sunshine and fresh air in an enclosed compound around the Chalet. The chalet is was very close to the town of Nicolosi for all your requirements.
It's a nice hotel with a swimming pool outside. It is nearby Catania, rooms were big enough, it's a nice place to stay if you travel by car as it is located in Nicolosi. Breakfast was also really good 👍😊 All of the staff were kind and helpful. We will definitely come back again if we'll be traveling to Sicily again in summertime!
Hotel is in beautiful natural surroundings, big pool with comfortable sun beds. Room was cleaned every day, mattress was comfortable. Bathroom has bidet. On request they provided iron with ironing board but without cover. Receptionist Christina and Tunisian lady taking care of breakfast were very nice, polite and helpful.
Our host was really nice. We had a battery issue with our car and she helped us with her husband and a neighbour. They saved the day !!
She also gave us free coupons to eat at the Etna !
The room was nice and clean. The breakfast was homemade and generous. Really a perfect location to stay before the Etna !
Excellent, friendly service; young centleman working at the reception was really helpful. Marvellous house at Etna, with views down to Catania bay. Easy access to carpark at the house and enough space to park with no extra cost. Excellent breakfast: typical Italian + yoghurt + mysli + eggs.
The house was clean and spatius. The owners are kind and kean to help you in whatever you need. Feels like home.
House is located close to etna and Catania. If you have transportation mean and you want to be outside Catania and near etna, this is a perfect choice.
Breakfast was good but would prefer English breakfast.The room was very clean and they changed the towels ever 2 days and was surprised because they changed the linen in the middle of our stay. Not many hotels do it. I would recommend this B&B.
Breakfast was great, Even with home made cake. Massimo is very nice and caring. Nicolosi is a nice little town and a good Place to stay of you want to visit the etna… and this Place is the perfect Place to get some rest before and afterwards.
The location is excellent—very quiet but close to restaurants and to all Mt Etna has to offer. The room was large and very comfortable—with a beautiful bathroom and a nice terrace. The staff is awesome. And breakfast was wonderful!
We really liked the place, very cosy, clean, nice breakfast, location very convenient if you go to visit Etna. Also Nicolosi, place itself was nice and clean. Host was very welcoming. Would love to come back!
Unbelievable hotel at the edge of Mount Etna. Luxurious room, one of the most comfortable bed ever, very professional and pleasant staff.
Highly highly recommend your stay there.
