Tenuta Giarretta

The Agriresort “Tenuta Giarretta” is a great place for everything; to enjoy the landscape, the vegetation, the air and the sun. Characterized by the presence of fifteen hectares of greenery, the property sits, with appearance of an ancient castle, in an atmosphere of absolute and pristine beauty. As a gem of Amber nestled between the river of the Simeto on one side and the Mount Etna on the other.

Our first visit will certainly not the last.

Colle San Mauro

"Colle San Mauro si colloca in uno dei più splendidi scenari dell'entroterra siciliano, immerso tra ulivi secolari e vigneti. Da una parte l'attenzione per i materiali, e la definizione di ogni minimo particolare, il comfort e il relax, mentre dall'altra le antiche tradizioni fatte di buon cibo, prodotti tipici, materie prime, tutto a km 0. Il nostro ristorante predilige una cucina siciliana rispettosa della stagionalità e della tradizione. I nostri piatti rispettano i principi del km 0 e della filiera corta. Le camere sono dotate di tutti i comfort per rendere la vostra vacanza indimenticabile. Il luogo ideale dove rilassarsi in piscina, in sella ad un cavallo o al centro benessere... Potrai vivere la bellezza del territorio tra natura e relax."

Totally relaxing with a wonderful atmosphere!

We were fortunate enough to spend a couple of days here last month. It's located in a lovely site with all the amenities one could hope for. The décor is wonderful. Classy, warm and inviting. Cleanliness is of the utmost. The four meals we enjoyed were top notch. A definite winner!

What a great time we had at Borgata Baldazza. Manuela, Gigi and Andrea were great. They made our stay super special. The food was very very good and homely. Compliments to the chef.

Terrible experience of 15 min. Never went to a place like that.

Reviewed By frankie b

Terrible place . Rooms were not cleaned. There was rat poison bag under the wardrobe. Floor were dirty. Bed sheets with holes i am afraid these were done by rats but not sure. My family and i stayed only 15min and went back to reception to informed them that we are leaving. Surprisingly enough when we told them that it was dirty and there was rat poison they were not shocked and offered to wash room.

Pleasant, rural hotel set in the woods on the mountain. Room was a bit small especially the bathroom with a tiny shower. We arrived after 1600 on a Sunday and were still able to be served lunch in the dining room.

A Home Away from Home

Reviewed By 360marylynnk

We arrived at Feudogrande, and the owners made us feel like we never left home. Their hospitality was unbelievable. We stayed there 11 nights, and the food was spectacular. There is no menu. You don't need one. They never repeated a dish, and surprised us every day. The rooms were cleaned every day, and you could eat off the floors. The views were amazing; Mount Etna and Taoromina, and a grove of lemon trees -- what more could you want from a vacation?! The grounds were meticulously manicured, so every time you stepped outside, there was a beautiful panorama. Agriturismo vacationing is a different way of traveling, but, weaves you into the Italian culture and way of life. For us, it leaves an imprint of an experience never to be forgotten. The rich history and culture of Italy is in our hearts.

Antico Borgo Petralia

Antico borgo petralia is the Top!

Reviewed By DSMConcy_88

It's a great property, with a stanning view and a lovely grounds. It is a family run, and you con really feel the engagement of the family, their proud about the place and their wish to treat each customer as a king. They were extremely helpful in booking wine tastings, excursions to see the volcano, and to help to arrange outer outings. The amazing Sara works with a bit of everything, and she is the lovelist girl,we ever met. She took such great care of us, and we felt like if we were leaving a friend behind when we checked out. The breakfast is excellent with a lot freshly baked cakes, perfect cappuccino, omelette, fruits from their own garden, and many other super tasty goods! Dinner was delicius and you can feel it is the result of a whole- hearted commitment. We hope to be able to visit again! Small suggestion: as mentioned to Sara before leaving, it would be nice if the food prepared by the other chef was as good as her mother's (Giuseppina).

Our Villa is the old manor of the farm which we renewed respecting the original design because we believe it's important to preserve what histpory has given us. We create wine and food tasting experience only with our local and fresh seasonal products. Come and try an unforgettable experience.

Breathtaking views

Reviewed By L4U

We stayed for two nights. The rooms are lovely. Very authentic (stone floors/ shutters) but clean and comfortable. Balconies offer lovely views across the vineyard to watch the sun go down. The dinners offered are wonderful. Priced at €50pp, you get 5 courses of delicious, top quality food paired with their wines. The food is very good quality and offered very good value. But you don’t get to chose; so fussy eaters beware! Breakfast is also wonderful. Served on the terrace overlooking the views. Lunch is also a set course with wine. Which we found a bit too much considering the large breakfast / big dinners. They kindly made us a pasta dish which was again served with their wine. The staff pointed out that the restaurant here is not a restaurant. So there is no menu to select from if you want a snack/ light lunch. Which we found a little disappointing. Sometimes you just want a salad or an antipasto board to keep you going. There are tea/ coffee facilities & water in the lounge. But you cannot purchase beer/ soft drinks. Town of Milo is a 20 min walk. But quite a basic town. We asked 3 times to be shown around the vinyard/wine making process, as were very keen to learn more about wine at every opportunity. Sadly they didn’t seem keen to commit on this. And only actually offered when our taxi was there to leave. We had a pleasant and relaxing stay. But with a few small tweaks this this place could go from good to bloody brilliant!

Valle Galfina Agriturismo

The Agriturismo Valle Galfina is a typical example of Etna’s rural architecture where the family resided during the hot summer months until the wine harvest where guest are most welcomed and hospitality is a pleasure. Much attention is given to the gastronomic specialities of the area such as the wines and olive oil, produced organically by our family. Our in-house restaurant offers the typical dishes of the Sicilian cuisine.

Very nice stayp at the farmhouse

Reviewed By Pascal_adeline

We spent 3 days at the agriturismo and really had a nice time. The food was delicious and typically sicilian. Luisa and Tony were really welcoming and always trying to help. The farmhouse is beautifull, the swimming pool has a nice view on the Etna and is open until late at night. I definitely recommend this place!
