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.

Ma pire expérience de séjour. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés sur place, l’hôte nous a expliqué en quelques mots le fonctionnement du petit-déjeuner et du portail puis lorsque je me suis retourné, celle-ci avait disparue sans avoir eu le temps de lui poser mes questions. Par rapport à la chambre, celle-ci était délabrée et insalubre : mur qui s’effrite, moisissures et sur des prises électriques ! Le ménage est totalement négligé : poussières,saletés,eau dans la bouilloire, lit avec des cendres. Nous avons dû également éteindre le frigo à cause du bruit assourdissant ainsi que l’air conditionné. Je n’ai jamais dormi sur un matelas d’une telle piètre qualité et les oreillers tellement fins que nous pensions à en acheter. Quant à la salle de bain, la robinetterie était pleine de calcaire et les murs sales: taches, salissures,… Enfin,le petit-déjeuner était médiocre et de mauvaise qualité (jus industriel, café en thermos,…). Finalement, à la moitié du séjour, nous avons préférés quitter ce lieu tout en prévenant la veille et le jour du départ de cela. Mais personne n’était disponible et on m’a demandé de laisser la clef dans la boîte aux lettres. Il est dommage que l’hôte ne se remette pas en question quand à l’état de cette chambre et refuse bien évidemment une compensation pour mon départ anticipé suite à l’insalubrité. Peut-être que la chambre double supérieure est la pire de toutes en lisant les commentaires… Mais ne négligez pas les autres avis négatifs comme nous…

Un havre de sérénité
Jouxtant l'Eglise Ste Trinité, dans cette bourgade au pied de l'Etna, les quelques hébergements disséminés dans le beau jardin ont une âme. Bons équipements (réfrigérateur, vaisselles, bbc....) Très belle piscine, très ombragée. Les personnels sont prévenants et monsieur excellent pâtissier ! Excellent rapport qualité/prix
