B&B Casabella ★★★

"Walk a few short blocks to the harbor and the plaza. Restaurants, bars, and local merchant shopping all within a few minutes. The room is clean and comfortable. Vincenzo is a terific host, and I will book here when I return!"

Mar dei Poeti - Luxury Suites ★★★★

"This is a superb venue if you’re looking for something high quality, quiet, away from the tourist hub with a great view and professional friendly atmosphere, that’s not a hotel room. The host (Nino) is especially helpful with nothing too much trouble. His breakfasts are varied, incorporating local produce and Sicilian authenticity. A magnificent way to start the day on the outside rooftop veranda overlooking the Mediterranean coast. Close to restaurants, across the road from the water with views to Etna. The accommodation is clean, spacious and bright with local sculptures and an array of interesting art. A winner not to be overlooked."

Le Giare B&B ★★★

"Stayed here for a destination wedding that was about 10 minutes away, VERY clean older B&B. Loved the pictures and antiques. There is no lift and quite a few stairs so carrying bags up was a little bit hard. In a very safe and pituresque neighborhood. Would recommend stay here if you have a car as there are no close taxis or Ubers (they come from Taromina and will charge you). Not sure sure what towns or activities are around (town very quiet) and we only stayed the two nights."

Zash Country Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★

"The property is beautiful, and what truly sets it apart is the excellent service quality. However, in my opinion, the property could use more maintenance, and the cleanliness isn't always impeccable. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff is very kind. The pool is lovely."

Donna Carmela Resort and Lodges ★★★★★

"Beautiful nature, flowers, trees, property , plus great service and food. We had one of the little eco rooms with a terrace looking out over the sea. Even though it was nice, I would opt for the romantic lodge with a private pool next time. These seem to have the most privacy. The reception with very welcoming, staff is excellent. Everyone was exceptional And always smiling and friendly. So nice to experience when one is traveling . We really enjoyed Eliana at breakfast. She's a delight , very helpful and also remembers how one likes their breakfast. All of the food we enjoyed was of a exceptionally high quality. And the setting of the restaurant whether one is outside or inside is very beautiful . For evening dinner, the restaurant manager is also a sommelier and gave us incredibly good advice on the food and the wine plus general information. Just so sorry I don't remember his name at the moment. Interestingly enough, the massage therapist has the same name...ending in an a of course. She was also fantastic, had two massages two nights in a row. We viewed a nearby garden recommended by the hotel, which was fascinating, racipure, I think. We also drove up the North face of Mount Etna. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating so we did not get to go up to the top. However, it was still fascinating to see from a distance and we did walk up a lava trail. Donna Carmela was a welcome experience. We were there four nights. We would definitely return."

Santantonioresort ★★★★

"Small, friendly hotel. Very ameniable staff, always willing to help and advise. Beautiful setting. Please note that it is a bit further out from Riposto station and a walk from the local restaurants, especially in the heat! I would recommend hiring a car for your stay. We ate in the restaurant one evening and it was excellent; they were very flexible and catered to our dietary needs. Luca was particularly helpful."

La Terra Del Mezzo ★★★

"We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Sicily. We booked directly with them and it was all fine. The building is surrounded by and contains a lot of vegetation, which made it feel a bit like a tropical paradise. The rooms are a bit dated, but perfectly adequate. The fridge in the room works great, but it's a bit loud so we unplugged it overnight. The one thing missing for us were hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels - a very simple and cheap thing to add, and hopefully management reads this and adds them. The breakfast had a good selection of items and was available at a decent time (8:30 to 9:30), though it's quite a short time. They do not serve lunch, so you'll need to make your own arrangements for that. Note that there's nothing within walking distance, so you'll either need to drive to a restaurant or buy some food in advance. You can get drinks at pretty much any time and they have a good yet quite limited selection. They serve a delicious dinner. It's a set menu of 4 courses (4 types of starters, first course, second course, dessert and water) and it changes every day. It's a lot of food and it's fairly late in the evening (starts around 8PM and you get the desert close to 10PM), so we went to bed feeling very full every night. It would've been great to be able to order only some of the items on the menu instead of all. The service was very friendly, which made the whole experience pleasant. The prices they charged were alright. All in all a great experience and we would be back, though management could make some minor improvements."

Agriturismo Galea ★★★

"Absolutely a wonderful stay at this beautiful well kept property, the owner is personable as are entire staff. our rooms were very clean AC worked great , and the pool was a welcome respite from high temps. their breakfast was the best and freshest we ever had, and we dinned twice at their beautiful outside space. we had a fantastic view of Mt Etna."
