    Everything was perfect, Antonella and Salvatore are lovely hosts, very helpful and friendly homely atmosphere, superb breakfast, even let us move out late as our plane was leaving late evening. Highly recommended, great for access to Etna too as the bus stops nearby. A definite 10/10!

    A great place to visit to get away from the daily busy schedule - pity we had to cut our stay short due to bad wather conditions; Quiet area close to Etna; Safe parking inside the premises - peace of mind when travelling by car; Owners extremely helpful and very accommodating; Delicious breakfast

    This Sicilian gem instantly won me over - it's easily one of the best places I've stayed in during all my travels. Having been here in 2019, the warmth of the owners drew me back. It's not just a place to stay; this place feels like home. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and spacious, receiving daily cleaning. As a bonus there is a lovely garden surrounding the rooms and a cosy breakfast room. The breakfast room holds a special place in my heart as it feels like stepping into my mother's kitchen, enveloping me with a comforting sense of familiarity. But what really makes this place shine is the beautiful people who run it. Their genuine warmth and hospitality create a bond that feels more like family, fostering friendships that last a lifetime.

    Kind welcome, the owners are charming, they made their best to provide the best service. The tour to vulcano was organised by them too. This is not only an accomodation, but a lifestile, which makes them authentic and 120% trustable. Breakfast was perfect, quiet place. Thanks for hospitality!

    Breakfast was amazing lots of choice: eggs, yoghurt, meat & cheese, rolls, croissants & pastries, fruit, cooked pears & cactus fruit, tea/coffee & juice. Antonella & Salvatore exceptional hosts, very friendly & sorted all our transportation for us, even dropped us at bus station each time & picked us up from airport as it was too late for local bus.

    Everything was great from the start, the owners of the B&B are the sweetest and very helpful, the place is beautiful so relaxing and quiet, they have there own parking so it was more convenient for us + they have a small slide and swing for children where they can play and it is very safe, Etnaland is 25min away and Parco Avventura Montirossi is about 10min away by car.....The breakfast is also very good and is fresh everyday (they have the most delicious bread & croissants :) Thank you Antonella & husband you'll see us again for sure :)

    Usually your accomodations aren't the highlight of your trip... But staying here truly was one of the best parts of our time in Sicily! We felt like we were at home. We were welcomed with tea and our hosts set up a tour of Mt Etna and a local olive oil farm/winery. Each morning we had a full, beautiful breakfast and we were never hungry! The Etna tour was also seamless, thanks to our host organizing the details. I dream of returning to this B&B! Don't hesitate -- just book it! You'll love it.

    The place is just fantastic. It is a villa with a beautiful garden, a small building (one floor only) where all the rooms are located, all facing outwards towards the garden. There is parking inside the premises. The staff is WONDERFUL (Antonella is fantastic), and the breakfast is excellent - I still think of those pistacchio croissants. Breakfast is served in a dining area where all the travelers congregate in a nice atmosphere. It is in the outskirts of the town, but within walking distance if you want to go for dinner, and convenient to visit mount Etna.

    Absolutely great place to stay. The facility is great, very comfortable and spacious beautifully decorated room, with a garden. The location is super close to the centre, but far enough to be quiet and pleasant. The hosts Antonella and Salvo were absolutely amazing, so HUGE THANK YOU for making our stay so pleasant. They also helped us book a tour to Etna at the last minute, and gave us food vouchers for the trip. And last, but not least - the breakfast was the best and even we had home-made pastries by Antonella! Thank you!
