"It would be difficult to overstate just how wonderful this place is. The rooms are clean and relatively spacious, the breakfast is wonderful, the owner is absolutely phenomenal (he even assisted me with gassing up my car before we left!), and the pool is absolutely magnificent…I’ve never seen a nicer pool outside of a resort!"
"Our stay at the Villa Neri was wonderful. The area is quiet and peaceful. The staff were all courteous and amazing.
The hotel itself is a little bit secluded so driving is recommended if you want to get around and explore yourself.
There are many things available to do at the resort: spa facilities, pool, tours of the winery, etc.
The food was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in a relaxing atmosphere for their trip."
"We liked the Hotel overall. Some details were not perfect, for example the bathroom could be in a better condition. The a la carte breakfast was very good but very small portions. All in all a good hotel for 1-2 nights to explore the Etna area."
"This property is located on a mountain summit adjacent to Mt. Etna. The views are stunning, the installations are excellent and the hosts are charming and very helpful. Our stay at this B&B was one of the highlights of our trip in Sicily."
"We had a great stay at Rosa’s. She was very welcoming and as others have said, provides an amazing breakfast. Ideal location for exploring Etna Nord. "
"Great stay at casa Valentina, great host (Giuseppe) helpful to guide us in the area, very warmful and kind.
I do recomend this stay to family and friends, satisfied 100%
Thank you"
"Absolutely adore this spot! Staff were great - except for one waitress in the restaurant who decided our child shouldn’t eat tiramisu and so she told us it was sold out. Was pretty judgemental. Everyone else was fantastic and would highly recommend this place to anyone!"
"Best of everything. Traditional, beach across the road, restaurant options close by and 20min drive to Taormina. Beautiful hotel and amazing staff and surroundings. "
"A very stylish and relaxing hotel! We stayed for 5 days in October 2023 there and we absolutely loved it! P.S. Etna Tour organized by the hotel - is a must"

Villa Neri Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"An incredible stay at Villa Neri for my wife and I. The room was large (Deluxe) and had one of the best bathrooms I had ever seen. The food at the Hotel is easily the best I have had at a hotel and deserving of a Michelin star. We were also very big fans of the hotel cats and their kittens and enjoyed seeing them treated well by staff. Only small points of feedback - the hotel sometimes felt understaffed, particularly at the pool bar during the day. The only other thing was the dated entertainment system in the room which you might expect to be a bit more modern for a hotel of this calibre. Otherwise a brilliant hotel all around. "
"This hotel was a "wow" all around. The photos don't do it justice:
1) The area: the town it was in is super cute. Everyone knows one another in the area. Views of Etna were incredible. Just a very beautiful region of sicily.
2) The service: the front desk helped us book a helicopter tour of etna. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was fantastic!
3) Spa: Wow wow wow - beautiful turkish bath, and you get it all to yourself with the fee. My husband and I enjoyed this immensely!
4) Restaurant: Probably the best meal we had in sicily. Incredibly creative, beautifully plated dishes. Props to the chef!
5) The rooms - baroque revival, with hand painted ceilings, just amazing. Comfy beds and nice rainfall showers in bathroom. "
"Perfect stay to relax and unwind. The room and outdoor areas were clean and well maintained. The outdoor pool space was the highlight of my stay and provided a haven to swim read and rest. Angela and Mauro were very accommodating and friendly hosts"
"The winery is beautiful and the customer service from Marisa was outstanding. The breakfast was very good. We all (5) loved this property and the customer service.
We stayed here for 2 nights. Got the delicious complimentary bottle of wine "Etna Rosso wine". Loved it. Highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much for your service, Marisa"
"This is a room and ensuite in an apartment where other bedroom(s) are rented to other travelers. There is a shared living room which all guests enter to go to their respective rooms. Rooms are spare and clean. Location is quiet and walkable to shopping and dining. Breakfast is left in your room. Coffee maker, electric kettle, an assortment of packaged cakes, rolls, pastries, some jams, teas and coffee pods. Water, milk, juice boxes in refrigerator. No night light to find your way to bathroom.
Friendly host came to let us in and show us the place. Had to call and wait 5-10 minutes for his arrival.
We stayed here because it was close to the meeting point for our rainy outing to Etna. Pick a day with good weather if you can. Nearby farm called Bagol’Area, a project in natural and sustainable farming, was very interesting with charming hosts."
