Beautiful and charming accommodation, a bit antique but very well taken care of. The bed was a bit hard. The trees, gardens and pool offer a super nice refuge from the Sicilian summer temperatures. Nice staff. We had a late check in and they were very accommodating.

The property is in a residential area. Big gate and on the post , a small signage of the hotel’s name. We spoke to someone on the intercom at the gate, the gate then opens. The property has a rustic charm. Some reviews we’ve read mentioned that the property needs renovation or updates. We think they don’t, it’s part of the charm (for us anyway, who are just visiting Italy). We only stayed for one night so didn’t get to use their swimming pool but it looks okay and romantic in the evening. Room was clean. The free breakfast consisted of breads, 1 type of cold cuts, 1 type of cheese, preserves and drinks -juices, coffee,tea. Within walking distance from the hotel is Coop grocery, Deli Shop and a restaurant. There could be more but we didn’t walk further. We enjoyed our short stay.

The property consists of small and clean traditional style apartments, some with tiny kitchen facilities, set in a beautiful botanical garden where peacocks roam around. There is a lovely swimming pool and sun beds. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is traditional with fresh bread, eggs, cooked meat and always a delicious newly baked sponge cake. The area is interesting to explore with Mt Etna close by, and beautiful places such as Taormina and Syracuse to visit. This was our second visit and it won’t be our last.

Absolutely beautiful property with very friendly staff. Driving up to the gates, you would have no idea what lies beyond them. The room was built into a somewhat ancient Palmento - very cool! Facilities were good, AC worked well. The owner of the property was incredibly friendly and chatted with my wife and I for a while over a bottle of his homemade wine. I would recommend Etna Botanic Garden to any and all looking for a reasonably priced place to stay, especially if you're into things with a little character and charm.

Un espace calme et agréable

Un hôtel-appartement très agréable, propre et calme, à l'abris de l'agitation de la ville. Le petit déjeuner inclus est un vrai plus, le personnel est sympatique. Le jardin est agréable à visiter et découvrir. La piscine bien que froide pendant notre séjour était propre et il était agréable de passer du temps sur les chaises longues autour. Deux points négatifs cependant : - l'odeur d'humidité bien que tout soit très propre. - les moustiques malgré les moustiquaires. Nous avons dû acheter un diffuseur de produit anti-moustiques pour surporter les nuits. Je recommande.

Hébergement dans un très beau cadre de verdure.

Magnifique parc bien que laissé à l'état un peu sauvage (mais nous on aime bien). Petite maisonnette individuelle très agréable. Petit déjeuner complet et bien bon, servi soit à l' extérieur, soit en terrasse selon la météo. Accueil un peu froid et très rapide.
