Exquisite Sicilian experience

Reviewed By E8340CWannas

Exquisite culinary experience, divine food! We did not taste anything better in any local restaurants like there and had a few exceptional diners with sunset and Etna view. Super nice staff and beautiful surroundings, going to sleep and walking up in the middle of the lemon trees farm was like a dream comed true.

Beautiful villa and nice area

Reviewed By geistfrei

The villa is far away, which makes it calm and slow. The area is big and very clean so it‘s a perfect place to shut your engine off and let it go. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Dino who hs shared not only his cooking-secrets but also a couple of good storys. The 7 dogs are friendly and not scary despite their tallness. However, they are still dogs and therefore they bark, sometimes during the night or at 7 in the morning. Alltogether we would highly recommend this beautiful place! Thank you!

A little piece of heaven

Reviewed By PAULWOODS1

If you want a concierge desk, fancy swank place - don’t come here. If however you want a peaceful quiet well appointed room and a welcome that is second to none then this is for you. The owner is such a charming person who is anxious to please. Standing in acres of orange trees, this establishment is a B&B par excellence. We had the Beatle room. Everything in there was Beatle memorabilia. Quite charming. The bed was very comfortable and as it is way out of town it is extremely quiet. Down in the town there are plenty of places where you can have dinner. Breakfast with his own squeezed orange juice is simple but most pleasant. The views of the Etna towering above us the next morning were impressive. In short, we loved it and it was the most delightful place we stayed at the whole 10 days but we are in Sicily. It is honest, well priced, spotlessly clean, and extremely well run. I could not find a single thing which Mary kid complaint. I can wholeheartedly recommend this charming little establishment to anyone.

Il Melograno

Il Melograno is a 19th Century manor house set within 12 hectares of pristine Sicilian farmland in the foothills of Mount Etna, looking out over the nearby Mediterranean Sea. The location makes ideal for anyone looking to take a break from their busy, modern lifestyles because here, all you'll find is tranquility and unspoiled landscapes in every direction. The rooms have all been recently restored and you'll find them perfect in every detail and furnished with original, antique Italian furniture. The manor's old mill has been transformed into a restaurant which offers an array of traditional Sicilian dishes, freshly prepared with local produce. Our farmland was certified organic in 2012, and we produce and sell jams made from our own oranges, lemons and pears as well as extra virgin olive oil, almonds, and a selection of fruit depending on the season.

Perfection!

Reviewed By smstafford

Beautiful farm with orange, lemon, and pistachio groves on the top of a hill that overlooks the city and sea. Incredible views from the terrace that wraps around the building. We rented 5 rooms for our family of eleven. Well appointed rooms with large living space. Easy access down into the small town of shops and pizzerias with karaoke. “Guisi” was a fabulous host and catered to our needs. The breakfasts were beautiful with fresh fruits from the farm, homemade cakes, and fresh cappuccino. Dinner is by reservation only and was served with a beautiful wine and finished with tasty house made pistachio limoncello. We toured the farm and enjoyed the beauty and history along with farming tips from Guisi. We also enjoyed an afternoon at Margo winery for a tasting, a sunset trip to Mt Etna - incredible (it’s a must)! This location is perfection for the accommodations and for the location and proximity to so many things. We hope to return soon and enjoy it even more the second time around. Thank you Guisi.

Il Pozzo Antico

Good stay, but one caveat

Reviewed By LetsGooooooo

We loved the location—in the middle of a farm—and not too far from the beach . The room was modern and had A/C and heating, with nice shower and comfy beds. Hostess was nice enough and (continental) breakfast was simple but delicious. The one black mark was that the rooms are not adequately insulated from one another. You’ll hear your neighbors if they are just a bit loud, and you hear flushes, etc. If you are lucky enough to have the place entirely to yourself or if you are a heavy sleeper, then this should not be an issue for you. For us, it was a dealbreaker but everyone is different... :)
