Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Riposto

I had the most amazing stay and couldn't fault a thing! The food and wine selection is one of the best I've had in the restaurant and absolutely loved the surrounded gardens and swimming pool. The service at the bar and restaurant was just superb. I wished I could stay longer and enjoy so much more of this unique stay. I would recommend renting a car if you are staying at the hotel as it is set in a remote location with Taormino centre being a 10-15min drive. The grounds and swimming pool was kept clean and although the pool was heated we still enjoyed it. I would definitely be coming back here to celebrate a special occasion and on the weekend we were there, there was a beautiful wedding taking place which made me want to be married here in the near future! :)

What a treat to be able to spend a few nights in this beautiful oasis. The minute we arrived. Marco greeted us and The lovely ladies at the desk were welcoming friendly, helpful, professional. Every inch of the property was beautifully maintained and gave us a great sense of being in historic Sicily feeling like royalty . The restaurant which we ate at two nights was a surprise ,Michelin star food, cleverly and tastefully each course was delicious. Wine list was full of beautiful Sicilian wines and a showstopper was having a very special cocktail made right at our table. I have had the good fortune from working so hard my life to stay at many four and five star hotels around the world and this will not disappoint . Our room was so comfortable, tastefully decorated & beautiful I didn’t want to leave the room . The beach was just steps away, and we swam in the beautiful Ionian Sea , the hotel is a destination, (we did go winetasting during the day at Benanti an excellent tour and tasting) hotel definitely worth a stay if you need to relax and want to be pampered -oh, and the swimming pool was magnificent along with serving cocktails and food poolside.

My family and i just returned from a fabulous 10 day break. This small boutique hotel was charming, picturesque and enchanting, as the property is steeped with history. The service was fantastic, the staff were attentive and really made our stay even more extraordinary. Flavia, at reception made sure we were very looked after and ensured all our reservations outside the hotel were booked. The pool area was wonderful as was the private beach. The level; of service by the pool staff , CLaudio and Carlo made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend a stay here, and one that you will thoroughly enjoy.

Beautiful room and pool area. Breakfast was delicious and restaurant is very good. The free spa area with steam, sauna and a hydro jet pool was a plus. You will need a car. Great for three days to explore Mt. Aetna and Taormina. Rooms would be perfect with a curtain between shower and bedroom and switching silly grand sink for two individual sinks; leaving much needed space for toilet kits, etc. A fitness center would be welcomed as well a walking map to guide you on morning walks in the lovely country country side Overall these are small constructive criticisms to make this very comfortable boutique hotel a 10. Room 211 was spacious and had a great terrace.

Die Villa Neri liegt im Grünen, am Fuße des Vesuv. In einer sehr großzügigen und schön gepflegten Gartenanlage liegt die Villa Nerin mit allen Annehmlichkeiten, die ein verwöhnter Gast gerne schätzt. Ein wunderbarer Pool mit Liegen, schirmen und einer Poolbar für Drinks und auch feine Mittagssnacks, welche sie im Schatten unter Oilvenbäumen geniesen können. Das Abendessen ist vom Feinsten! Alles ist sehr hochwertig eingerichtet und sauber gepflegt.

Beautiful building in a very good state. Exceptionally clean rooms and facilities. Complimentary spa on site with pool, sauna and steam room, which was amazing. Also very nice outside pool. Gourmet restaurant on site with excellent food.

We loved Villa Neri so much and I can't wait to take my parents there. I am so glad I found this hotel. We were only there for one night but we made the absolute most of it. On check-in we were informed of all the optional activities and opted to do them all. The wine tasting at the property next door was incredible. The 90min exclusive use of the spa facilities was luxurious and relaxing. The staff at this hotel are incredible! I wish I had gotten everyones names so I could mention them here as they were so so lovely to us. We arrived really early in the day after booking their transfer from the airport and our room was ready for us when we arrived. We had a fantastic lunch by the pool, went for the local wine tasting, spent an hour in the spa and then had a really incredible dinner at the restaurant. Breakfast the next morning was gorgeous - so many different food options to accomodate everyone as we sat outside in the sunshine watching Mount Etna. The whole experience was so fantastic. The staff were incredible - definitely the best part about our stay. We loved everything.

Mario, Mario and Paolo - three of the waiting staff get first mention for their delightful service and kind hospitality. The hotel is luxurious and has a lovely fine dining restaurant where even the occasional power cut doesn't disturb the experience. The grounds are small but well maintained the rooms are large, comfortable and have fittings that are in keeping with 5* in other countries. The front desk staff were a bit mixed. Nadia was excellent and very helpful. Gloria always seemed rushed, and this led to a few issues with restaurant bookings but all in all, nothing too concerning. The spa staff would benefit from a bit more skill in the linguistic department as it makes it challenging to discuss specific needs but they are skilled and created a nice but not 5-star spa experience. All in all, a wonderful stay if you want to get away from it all. Taormina looks close but it takes up an hour to get there so you have the hotel pool & spa, etna and the sleepy untouristy villages to keep you occupied if you get bored or hungry.

It’s the third time I’ve stayed there in the last four years or maybe more. This has to be the best time and I’m talking about the finer details all falling into place. My room wasn’t so much as the room it was more villa outside pool more of a plunge pool, but perfect for a couple of people. Incredible views of the vineyards a decent view of Mount Aetna, but most of all it’s the individuals that I see each time I’m there the food is amazing the selection of wine very impressive and overall if you want to go and hide away in the midst of organic wine production it is a very peaceful place to go. You can find nightlife there. There’s a wonderful bar and they make the most incredible the negroni - another bar situated in front of the swimming pool which quite frankly if you’re up early enough it is one of the greatest sunrises I’ve ever seen. It has a notoriously good sunrise person speaking. I don’t want the fuss and the high-end pampering that that isn’t genuine that you can find in other high-end establishments as far as I’m concerned though the setting the people the architect the simplicity and yet five star throughout you can’t go wrong one visit will bring you back enjoy yourselves I have tremendously - Max is not gonna spell spellcheck this or read it back again cause that way you know it’s definitely not ChatGPT ha ha

We arrived around 8PM straight off a set of flights from SFO and were exhausted. We were welcomed into the bar, a beautiful, cozy room, given food and drink, and checked in there, since reception had closed. We ended up spending a couple hours chatting with another couple, the place promotes making friends. Throughout our stay the food was terrific, breakfast on the lawn above the pool was amazing, including eggs from the farm's own chickens. The service was very friendly. Antonio offered us a tour of the wine cellar, which is actually built into an ancient well and not to be missed. Gabriela, the bartender, made a very good negroni and stayed to chat, as staff often do here. The property is spread out over many acres of vineyards and over 100 fruit trees. Our building was the furthest from the central building and restaurant so it was very quiet. They provide a golf cart to get you around on the very rough and often unpaved roads of the estate but it is a bit hair-raising as the roads are bumpy and the staff drive very fast. We ended up just driving our own car around, which was slightly better, given the narrow, bumpy roads. We got lost repeatedly, but that was part of the fun as we always eventually got to the place we were going. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves beauty, great food, and terrific people.

This place is absolutely stunning! From the setting, underneath Mount Etna, to the place itself which is immersed in vineyards and olive trees! The staff is very professional and ready to meet any of our needs. The food was great and all produced at Monaci. The villa we stayed was beautiful with amazing views, an infinity pool, very private and with a very original feature, it was built around some volcanic rock! And if that wasn’t enough, I was amazed to learn that Stanley Tucci, the actor I adore, stayed in the same villa!!! I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable experience.

The location of Monaci is simply stunning. The villas are spread out providing space and tranquility. The grassy pool area with the stunning vista is so special. Finally the food is amazing as is the restaurant space, and we were lucky enough to have a private cooking class with the head chef and guided tour through the gardens / cellar. We look forward to returning in the future.

The location is amazing, on the skirts of Mt. Etna, and all the facilities, from the pool to the restaurant in the old building are amazing. We were attended to in the friendliest way by the entire staff, including a private traditional Sicilian pasta making lesson; they were all great. The view is amazing, the food was outstanding, overall an unforgettable experience in all senses.

very big apartment, huge terrace with pool and Etna view air conditioned cleanness parking place inside resort private pool for resort guests good base for trips around (Taormina, Etna, etc)

Spacious & clean. Nice private pool. Helpful staff.

Very close to beach. Clean room, working kitchen with necessary appliances. Clean and nice territory with pool, access to parking area. Large balcony with amazing view on Etna. I like approach when Management pay attention for the rules to keep silence depend on time. We are also grateful to the staff for their attention to our requests and assistance in the transfer to airport.

Very nice and clean apartment, It was great to have a swimming pool, the water was clean. The staff is friendly. Great location, nice view at Etna.

nice apartment, friendly staff, boss Alice best ONE, AC, terrace, pool

Property is in a quiet area with views of Mount Etna. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Pool area was great! Well sized pool and lounge area. Garage was spacious and we managed to fit 2 cars

Pool, ac in rooms, garage for 1 car, great outdoor veranda

A pleasant villa with a luxurious garden, fruit trees that provide shade and a pleasant and quiet atmosphere, a fun open swimming pool. Marco, the host, was pleasant and caring, and also gave good recommendations for restaurants

Peaceful location, fantastic garden with pool, great view of Mount Etna. Easily accessible with car.

Beautiful property, with a lot of space. Fresh fruit and veggies were left on the table for us every morning and Marco was quick to answer any questions I had. The lights weren’t working the first night we were there and Marco accommodated us at a hotel nearby. It was very nice of him and didn’t take away from our stay at villa Tina - he was at the house the next morning at seven to get the problem fixed. We were back there by 11 in the morning.

Amazing place. Spacious indoor and outdoor . Fitted kitchen with an amazing garden . Great host always in contact and ready to offer some advice .

Marco made us feel extremely welcome even before we arrived - anticipating the sorts of things we might need for travel with young children. On various days throughout our stay we woke to baskets of eggs, oranges and lemons on the doorstep - a lovely touch which really added to the countryside vibe of the stay. The property is exceptionally clean and very well equipped.

Lovely villa outside the quiet town of Piedimonte Etneo. The villa has everything you need, from kitchen utensils to children's toys. Mario and Simona (the hosts) were very welcoming and made our stay perfect in every way; transport to the supermarket, travel advice, fruit from their large garden. If we ever return to to Catania we won't be looking for other places to stay!

Amazing property and host. Photos do not do it justice. Incredible views, everything you needed and just a fabulous area to explore

Situated in beautiful grounds full of fruit and olive trees

The Villa was very spacious and easily suited the needs of 7 adults. Very well equipped and Simona was a fantastic host. Communication was excellent and extremely helpful. There is a terrific terrace with a view along the coast to Taormina and of Etna. There are 2 outside eating areas one facing east and one west. Piedmonte is on the doorstep and Taormina 25 minutes away. The Villa is a 10 minute drive up from the autostrada. A windy road but perfectly safe and easy enough to navigate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would recommend the Villa to any group. It was also very good value.

The location was excellent with stunning views over Taomina and the straights of Messina. There were several good restaurants nearby and the local wine inexpensive and good. We thought the villa was a little expensive but very comfortable.

The facilities were amazing with the pool, out side kitchen and bbq, very large indoor kitchen, with a full range and more of kitchenware, coffee percolator, massive individual fridge and freezer, multiple table and chairs in and outside a basement party room with pizza open, though this area smelt very damp and the kitchen area wasn't very nice, there was a gym with various equipement, sadly the running machine wouldnt work, but u could still use the weights machine and cycle machines, free weights etc,wine cellar with wine price list to purchase, table tennis table, utility area on the the roof terrace with again an eating area ,the jacuzzi on the roof wasn't working, but they had put a temporary one down by the pool for use, all the bedrooms were very spacious, downstairs bedrooms had onsuites and upstairs was 2 big bathrooms to share, extra toilets inside near the pool and on the roof terrace. We had a few issues with the pump cutting out on the pool, but the manager/owner was easily contactable and very quick to respond and get the problem sorted. All rooms had air-conditioning.

We loved our stay! We were a large group on a three generation family trip ages 16 to 80 touring from Taormina to Enna and needed accommodations that would appeal to everyone and allow easy access to our day trip destinations. The house was clean and comfortable with all modern conveniences and many bathrooms. Air conditioning was strong throughout. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals and the pool was a welcome pleasure at the end of each day. Salvo was a great host, very responsive and even arranged delivery of some provisions. The location is in a quiet small city and you will want a car to access conveniences. Parking is easy.

The facilities are amazing, we were amazed at the value for money! The owner was more than accommodating with all the messages about taxis and offered a fair price (compared to Uber) for taking us to and from the airport. The pool was great and there is so much seating for everyone to do their own thing as well as be as a group.

The size of the house…the pool n hot tub n great air conditioning

The house was simply amazing 🤩 there was everything you can imagine. Great for spending time together with friends or family. We could be together but at same time, have some privacy. We loved it ! Rooftop with the view for coast and Etna on the other side was breathtaking. The owners were really supportive ☺️ We would definitely recommend it to everyone! It was great experience 🥂 thank you!

This was a wonderful place to spend a week with a group of friends. The house is spacious with fantastic views of Etna and the sea from the garden or while relaxing by the pool. The kitchen and utility room were well-equipped so it felt like a home from home. In terms of location, there is a great bakery and a small grocery shop about 5 minutes' walk away. Maria was kind and helpful throughout and quick to respond if we had any questions. Thank you, Maria!

We all had a wonderful experience at Maria’s beautiful villa 😊😊 Plenty of room for everyone, very good beds and linens,well equipped kitchen ,nice outside pergola where we had all our breakfasts and diner!! Maria is very available and respond very quickly at our messages 😊😊 If we go back to Sicily,it’s going to be definitely there 😍 Thank you Maria !

Everything was amazing, there was loads of space for a big family like ours. A great kitchen and outdoor grill with everything necessary for passionate food lovers like us! Very calm and peaceful, thank you Maria & her Son!

The spacious Villa was amazing, the grounds were we collected lemons/limes and fogs as well as prickly pears. The Amazing pool in beautiful gardens, the view from the villa, looking at Mount Etna and the pool/sea in the distance, how quiet the property is and well secured, great views from the balcony, around the property, very peaceful and spacious, not far from the main town and cities by car, friendly owners which made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay very pleasant. The pool is well maintained and the 3 bedrooms apartment is well equipped, spacious, comfortable and has amazing views. A great location and accommodation.. Absolutely stunning and so tranquil, we had a fabulous 2 weeks stay and would book this location again.. We could not ask for more.. Absolutely stunning.

We were fortunate to be the only visitors for 6 out of 8 days, which meant we had the pool and facilities for ourselves, which was amazing. Big apartment. Very big outside surroundings. Amazingly big and clean pool. Big terrasse with ocean view.

Nice apartment with an amazing pool. If you like your privacy, this is the place. If you’re looking for other families or neighbours, you’re going to be disappointed.

Great accommodation with a beautiful garden. Breathtaking view of the see and the Etna. Big and clean pool to relax. Lemontrees everywhere around the property.. The host is very friendly and helpful. You will need a car to get to the house as it is in a remote, but georgous area, there is a good supermarket in 5 minutes drive. We had a great time there and would return anytime!

Lovely warm greeting. Beautiful gardens with stunning sea & Mt Etna views. Wonderful swimming pool with good-grip steps. Lovely BBQ/dining area. Fabulous family room; kitchen, dining & relaxing TV area. Our dog loved walking in the local area amongst lemon groves.

Beautiful location and really nice premises. Easy to get to, amazing pool. Very kind and helpful host

Really nice location. Nice view on the sea and the Etna. Good starting point to discover the east side of Sicily. The owners are really friendly and always ready to help. We enjoyed the figs grown from their own garden.

The property was equipped with everything we needed for a weekend getaway.

The views from the property are breathtaking. The host Alberto was very attentive and available to answer any queries. He recommended some great restaurants to us and also cooked us amazing pizzas one night in the properties pizza oven. The pool is a great size and and the hot tub was amazing for the kids.

This villa is exceptional! The view is incredible. It is extremely private and very spacious. Alberto is a wonderful host and went out of his way to look after us - feeding us and fulfilling special requests. He also made excellent recommendations for our time in Sicily. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the hot tub was perfect. For our experience, this villa is a 10+. This house was extra difficult for us to leave! It was even a good surprise to have some workout equipment available in the home to use during the week. The location was easily accessible to Taormina and Mt. Etna - two must-see destinations close by. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough! We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Alberto!

Stunning villa that is perfect to spend time with friends/family. Everything was just as described/pictured and the host Alberto was truly one of a kind. The pizza party was the highlight. The atmosphere and views are truly magical.

Spacious property, ideal for multigenerational family groups. spectacular views. Very generously sized bedrooms with quiet AC. Rustic, homely feel. Alberto was very helpful and responsive.

Villa Marrabecca is a little slice of heaven. Alberto was on hand for anything we needed although we didnt need anything apart from a restaurant reservation! He has thought of everything that you could need at the villa and the pool is just wonderful.

Perpect holiday home. Kids loved it, we did too. Very large and spacious. The pool is awesome even though weather wasn’t perfect. Amazing views

What can I say about our stay at casa 11 geranio other then every single part of this trip was amazing we were met very late on arrival due to our plane been delayed and nothing was to much to ask we had fruit water and wine awaiting and they even got us a reservation at John lucas which again is well worth the visit amazing food and great house wine. Now back to the house it was beautiful truly stunning the pool was lovely and the view of etna just wonderful 😍 so I don't really know what else to say other then this is a pure gem ❤️

Property is fantastic! Beautful, clean and spacious with an amazing view of Mount Etna!! It was by far the most well equipped holiday home I've ever stayed at. They have everything you need from cooking equipment, towels, toiletries, and even inflatables for the pool! Best of all, the owners are lovely, professional, and incredibly hospitable! Will definitely come back!

The host was very kind and helpful! The villa has its own private swimming pool. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Several showers are also available. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. To recommend without hesitation!

The villa is stunning! It has the most amazing view and the pool is wonderful. Maria and her family were incredible hosts, and they gave us great recommendations. Would love to return in the future.

The villa was beautiful and very spacious. There were lots of amazing touches, including toothpaste & shower gel in the bathrooms and lots of cooking basics in the kitchen. The pool area is beautiful and hearing Mount Etna rumbling was amazing! The hosts were lovely.

The hotel is located high up in the mountains, and it can be difficult to get there unless you rent a car or take a taxi/uber. However, the view from the hotel is truly unique. On top of that, the whole place is very charming, and the outdoor breakfast area shows how much attention to detail they put into everything. The spa is also a highlight, offering several different areas to enjoy. The staff were amazing and attentive, always very friendly and ready to help. I asked if they would do a cake for my partner’s birthday and they did. The food at the restaurant is delicious, and the hotel’s pool makes the place even more perfect.

We had a great stay. The rooms were spacious and beautifully kept, with a nice view. The pool was a real highlight, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Spa was also nice. The location is ideal for visiting Mount Etna, with easy access and breathtaking scenery all around. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering excellent recommendations for local restaurants and tips on how best to experience Etna. Great breakfast. Free, but limited, parking spaces. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

There's a panoramic view of the local town where you dine for breakfast, its beautiful. And the breakfast buffet is spot on, with cereals, fruits, yoghurts, ham (hot and cold), cheeses and cooked eggs, pastries and juices. Its all you need. Spa is lovely - didn't matter that outside pools were closed as plenty to do inside. Lots of free parking on and off the premises. Really enjoyed our stay here.

+ Staff was amazing and very helpful + Perfect english at reception + Very good breakfast (as per Italy standards) + Spa center has several saunas, inside pool, jacuzzi. More than we expected. + Good view. + Gated private parking. + Good restaurant for evening dinner, every day special menu.

Close to Etna south, ideal to book an excursion and have a rest after it Rooms are large Staff very friendly Breakfast buffet very good and served in a nice terrace Has indoor and outdoor swimming pool

Great place as a base for the East coast of Sicily (you need a car). Lots of easy free parking in the shade. Clean basic rooms with good A/C, a fridge, good showers and a comfortable bed. The pool area is really nice and clean with lots of sun loungers and plenty of shade. Breakfast was good and varied with lots of fruit, pastries, eggs/bacon, yogurt/milk/cereal, ham/cheese, etc. The restaurant has a lunch and evening menu with nice food and very reasonably priced. We probably ate there for half of our meals (in between day trips etc.) and were happy every time. The restaurant is nicely located just next to the pool with some A/C (although can get a little hot when it hits 40C). The pool bar also has good priced drinks & ice cream all day. Location is peaceful away from the local village with great views of Etna. A great little place and we'd happily return.

I love it all. Room with splendid views especially the view of etna. Pool and pool facilities where brilliant. Pool area is big and comfortable. Good parking for your car.

We had a really great stay here! The location was lovely, although as many other people mentioned, having a car is kind of necessary. The restaurant was good and there were many options to choose from (also gluten free!) Breakfast was good, maybe compared to other hotels on the smaller side, but we were happy nonetheless. The drink menu at the bar was amazing and the bartender was awesome, he made us drinks at the inside bar that were only on the pool bar menu. All the staff was super friendly, when our flight was delayed, one staff member stayed longer to check us in. The swimming pool was really nice and we spent a few days fully at the pool and bar. The room and all the common spaces were always kept clean.

It was our second visit in this hotel, hotel is very clean, international breakfast are delicious. Hotel did some improvements from last year as new tiles around pool and pool bar. Restaurant has delicious good, onky we were limited as don’t like fish, very limited meals with chicken which we prefer. But other food we have tried was great. Hotel is away from town, car is a must. Beach is 10 min away by car. There was little bit of communication barrier as staffs in restaurant on lunch time don’t speak English, but they have spoken other languages. Anyway they are very kind

Not my first time, not my last. In ideal location, nice and calm area, very near to tourist and shopping hotspots. The amneties are great, nice pool and pool bar, restaurant, you park your car near the room, locked by a metal gate and not in the road, simply great.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The location is perfect, as it's right next to the beach, allowing easy access to the beautiful coastline. The hotel is well-maintained and exceptionally clean, which made my stay even more comfortable. One of the highlights was the swimming pool area. There’s a large pool for adults and a separate pool for kids, which is perfect for families. Both pools were clean and well-maintained, providing a refreshing escape from the heat. There's even a tennis court available to guests for free. The on-site restaurant was also impressive. The food was tasty, with a variety of options to choose from. The prices were reasonable, making it a great value for money. Overall, this hotel offers excellent amenities and a prime location at a great price. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!

We stayed for just one night in October, and even though we didn’t get to enjoy the beach or pool, you could tell both were lovely, especially the large pool. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was good. We’d definitely come back in the summer!

The grounds of the hotel are lush. Beautiful swimming pool and pool area. Excellent location across the road from the beach. Lovely lido too. Food was excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Place is impeccably clean. Comfy beds.

The staff were all very nice and very friendly. A long way to walk to most restaurants but were all very good so that made up for it. 2 really nice beach bars a short distance away. Lovely large pool. Very clean. Pool area was nice with a bar.

My stay at Atlantis Palace Hotel was truly enjoyable from start to finish. The hotel offers a great combination of comfort, quality service, and a fantastic location close to the beach. The rooms were spacious, well-kept, and had all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was always friendly and professional, making sure guests felt welcome and looked after. The pool area was a highlight — clean, well-organized, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. I also appreciated the breakfast selection, which included both local and international options. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or solo, Atlantis Palace Hotel provides a solid, stress-free experience that makes you want to come back.

The pool is added charge and is part of the wellness retreat, the heated pool and hot tub were cold to cool at best. A bit disappointed. Dinner onsite was very good.

The hotel is really lovely. Our stay didn't start off very well as when we arrived there were 2 other very large families trying to check-in before us and only 1 receptionist. It took us over an hour to check in. Our check-in process in itself was quite efficient. Once we got to the room we could not switch on the light so we ask reception for help and they sent someone immediately. The rooms are clean, bright, have black-out curtains, a stocked minibar, a nice bathroom and space to work. bed is comfortable. The restaurant offers a very good dinner, with lots of choice, breakfast also offers a wide variety of choice. The pool is lovely and it's nice to spend some time there in the summer.

I recently had a delightful stay at Grand Hotel Villa Atria. The room was perfect, equipped with reliable WiFi and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The pool area was nice, providing a great place to relax. The breakfast was also nice, offering a good choice of options to start the day right. Additionally, the hotel offers ample parking, which was very convenient. Highly recommended!

The only issue we had was parking as they have alot of the local community using there pool in the day and functions at night and they parked coaches in the car park.

The room was spacious and very clean. The property and location were also great. The staff was pleasant. Didn't have an opportunity to try the dining room, lounge or the pool. It was great having breakfast available every morning. There was a lot of options, pastries, fresh fruit etc.

The property was just perfect for our family vacation. My only concern was that if you don’t have car then you have quite a stretch to reach the town of cefalu and buses only pass once an hour- but that has nothing to do with the property it’s self! The other slight problem for us (we had quite a particular case as my dad fell ill during our stay and had to be admitted to hospital) was that there is not a bathroom near the pool area. There are showers whichw was great and the owner was kind enough to let us stay and use the bathroom of the apartment till it was possible, other than that it was brilliant- thank you Boagio! We hope to come and stay there again in the future 🍻

Bed was fab, everything was good with us. Despite some little issues for an old building and a bit dated structure I have to say that everyone sorted out all of my issues and went above and beyond to make us feel. Comfortable. I am pregnant in this Moment and feel very sensitive to lights smells and tiny noises. The staff was so extremely kind and worried to fix anything was not at my standard. That is the thing I aorreviate the most. Thank you again to everyone. Even the director of the hotel gave us good reccomendattuons on where to eat nearby. The man working at the restaurant for breakfast made a good fresh cappuccino and there was plenty of choice, some good baked savoury cakes too!

My comments are for the 3rd floor suite. Other guests told us other rooms were small. 3rd floor suite was large with large and very usable bathroom. Also includes private outside dining area on the roof. If you are trying to decide whether to splurge for the suite, I would say it is worth it. Breakfast is mostly typical Italian but they do include eggs. Drinking water is not included. Hotel sells drinking water but you can get it at a supermarket down the street for half of hotel’s price. Town does not have a lot of attractions but it is easy to do day trips by train.

Stayed here for one night during our recent tour of Sicily. Great hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. Room was nice with a balcony overlooking the small Piazza at the front of the hotel. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom with toiletries and a good shower. Parking at a small car park at the hotel, which was very convenient. Easy walk to town. We ate in the hotel restaurant as we could not find anywhere open locally for dinner, which was nice, although not a great deal of choice. Good breakfast with a wide choice. Would recommend.

This hotel is one of a kind, first of all the staff are extremely caring, when we arrived the young girl at the front desk answered all our concerns and provided us also with a plug compatible with our country. the staff makes sure you feel like home. The rooms and hotel are very clean. we also liked the fresh breakfast also providing us gluten free bread and gluten and egg free biscuit. will for surely recommend and will visit again.

Stayed here for 4 nights with friends. Drove past the entrance on arrival and had to take a detour to get back to it but once we arrived what a lovely surprise. The hotel staff are lovely. Our rooms both had French doors that led out onto the garden which was a nice place to gather and have a drink in the evening. The hotel is situated next to a busy road and railway line but we did not notice any excessive noise. We ate in the restaurant a couple nights and would also recommend this. The breakfast buffet was more than adequate although the boiled egg cooker took some getting used to! Swimming pool area was nice and the pool although not heated was nice a the end of a day sightseeing.

Great hotel, lovely little pool, comfortable bed, wonderful tasty breakfast with lots of variety including the most amazing cassata & scrambled eggs. The staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. One staff member suggested the train into Catania rather than driving & kindly printed off the timetable then took us up to the staff gate so that we were closer to the railway station & we didn't have to walk all the way around up a steep hill, wonderful service, the train was great too, 11mins into Catania for €3.50 per person. They also let us stay by the pool after check out as we had a few hours until our next check in Ragusa, lovely. Thank you for having us.

The Santa Caterina is a lovely hotel but there is not a lot going on in Acireale. Use it as a base if you hire a car. There are virtually no trains or bus services and taxis are expensive. Acireale has no restaurants of note that we found so you'll be eating in the hotel most nights. Not a bad thing as the food was good. Service was a little erratic. We ate in the restaurant 4 times, twice we were served bread with our meal, twice they clean forgot. And when you ask for a glass of wine and a Sprite, you expect the latter to be served in a glass, not handed the can! When we asked for a glass and some ice, the waiter reached over to another table, took a glass from there, then fetched some ice from the bar which was brought to us in a bowl. We only needed a few ices cubes in a glass, not half a freezers worth!! Our stay was marred slightly on the last day. We were due to fly out of Sicily in the evening, so asked if we could use a room later in the day to freshen up i.e. spend the afternoon by the pool and then use a room for 30 minutes before we got a taxi to the airport, They refused our request stating the hotel was full, when quite clearly it wasn't. You could see 3 rows of keys lined up behind reception and no one checked into the room we had used. We had to take a cold shower by the pool and use the toilet to get changed. Simply not good service if you're claiming to be a 4 star hotel. You should not treat guests in that way for such a simple request.

We stayed for nine nights in June 2013. The service and facilities were great, and it has the best restaurant in Acireale - lots of locals in each evening as well as hotel guests. The food is superb, and reasonably priced. There is a lovely pool with plenty of shade and sun and the rooms have effective and quiet air conditioning. Our room had a fridge and safe. We chose to stay here rather than Taormina (for price and because it was a quieter location) and did not regret our decision. Acireale is a hidden gem, and surprisingly untouristy. The slight compromise is that the hotel is sandwiched between the railway line and a road. Neither are overly noisy or busy and if you live in a city you will barely notice them. We do, and didn't feel that our enjoyment was encroached upon at all. The town centre is 5-10 mins stroll away and the hotel towards the bottom of the hill. The incline is relatively gentle, apart from one short section, which is quite steep and would be difficult for anyone with mobility problems. All in all, highly recommended.

The hotel location is a good base to explore Sicily although a hire car is recommended but this would be the case wherever you choose to stay. The hotel is in a lovely position overlooking the sea and the dining area is stunning. The rooms are spacious, stylish and very clean. We had a very pleasant patio area for ourselves. The breakfasts are very good with a good selection of fruits, breads yoghurts, pastries etc and if you choose to stay for evening meals the food and wine is excellent. The hotel staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. We had a couple of issues with our hire car while we were there and they assisted us in any way they could. The pool area is also in a great position and is very clean and attractive. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in the area; in fact I would say this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in.

The most important thing is the soul of these Stefanija apartments!!!A very sweet, cheerful and positive girl, ready to help with everything and explain everything!!! And her equally wonderful father, with whom we also got to know each other a little!!!The apartments themselves are very cozy and sterilely clean, excellent bathroom!!! Comfortable bed!!! Breakfast is simply incomparable in quality and range!!!A great place to stop to explore Taormina and Etna!!!The location is ideal, if you are driving, there will be no problems with parking!!!Ideal for a few days, if it’s probably for a long time, the road to the sea and the embankment, especially in the dark, is not very close and not very pleasant!!! This must be taken into account if you want to stay here for a beach holiday!!!

We truly had a wonderful experience in this little gem of a B&B. Great convenience, lovely owner and a room that looked and felt even better than advertised. The fact that it is located some minutes off the beaten touristy track was another plus (for us), because it felt like real Sicily Sicily 😊. Seriously, if you find yourself somewhat close to Naxos, get should get yourself a room here and experience the cozy comfort of this family run gem and enjoy Stefanias hospitality, you will be as happy to be here as we were (and as sad to leave as we felt 🥲🇮🇹)

This B&B is truly amazing. The hosts are super-friendly and the accommodation and rooms are in peak condition, it is very well build + maintained and kept impeccable clean during our 7 nights stay. The room and bathroom we had were spacious, and the beds and air-conditioning were perfect. The provided breakfast is very good and the best we had in Italy. The B&B is about 10 minutes walking distance from the centre of the town and beach. Parking is easy in the surrounding streets or next to the B&B itself. Highly recommendable.

Everything!!! The best place we have stayed in Sicily!!! Amazing room with little PRIVATE outdoor space!!! Loved it!!! I wish we stayed Here all of our vacation!!!! Absolutely recommend don't look anywhere else!!! Big rooms, decorated Absolutely amazing wall art out of this world !!!! The best breakfast so fresh and so much of a variety! The host is so sweet even though she doesn't speak good English she was so super sweet and kind to use google translate to tell us all we had questions for!!! Loved it !!! Loved it!!! We will return for sure

Fantastic family run small B&B, rooms were perfect and very clean. Had the pleasure of a spa bath in one of them. Cant fault anything with the rooms, good shower, air conditioning, comfortable beds etc. The breakfast was very nice also, a good selection of food. A 15 minute walk or so to the beach and restaurants, but was easy enough to do. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts, as when we struggled to get a taxi to the train station on leaving they very helpfully drove us there. Perfect.
