We were on a group tour in Sicily and did not stay here this time - just had dinner. Chef Russo and his staff provide an extensive number of courses of tasty Sicilian specialties which would each hold its own against 5-star restaurants. The villa provides a restful panorama of the area and the delicious appetizers served on the porch... More

Spent two nights here in June 2012. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Francesca and her mother were delightful and their hospitality really enhanced our stay. We had lots of advice about the local area/where to eat etc. Unfortunately the restaurant is no longer open for guests and only seems to... More

Delightful accomodations among orchard trees and vegetation. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Guizy (mother) and Francesca (daughter who speaks English fluently) were completely helpful with all requests, including local directions and suggestions, printing airline boarding passes, dinner reservations, etc. Note: Guizy looks like Francesca's older sister! Dinner at their restaurant by Chef Alessandro Russo and waiter Alessandro (same name,... More

This restaurant was exactly what we had wanted to find in Sicily. Chef Alessandro Russo covered our table with wonderful plates of typical local food, all cooked to perfection. As regular diners and previously disappointed at our hotel, we were very impressed. If this chef starts a cookery school, I'll be the first guest!!! They are not open for dinner... More

What a perfect introduction to Sicilian hospitality and lifestyle! This lovely place is on a private hilltop in the middle of their own orange and lemon orchards. We were there in spring and the combined scents of all the flowers was incredible. The rooms are tucked around the back of the building and are very quiet, dark and private. We... More

Antico Borgo Agriturismo is a B&B ideally situated near Giardini Naxos and Taormina, not far from the sea, especially suitable for holidaymakers travelling by car (you can also go by train to Catania from the close-by station of Calatabiano). It is a very quiet place (the noise of the freeway passing not far away did not disturb us), set in... More

This might be a good place to stay if you wish to be close to Giardini-Naxos, but not in the city. It is a farmstay located 5km south. The staff are very polite and try to help with directions when they can. It is a gated property, so it is nicely secure. The downside is that it can be a... More

We arrived after dark following a harrowing drive through Catania (we got lost, don't ask). Even once you are in Calatabiano, the agriturismo is rather hard to find as it is located on a small side street, behind a large gate with just a small sign out front. ( We had a GPS but it did not have the exact... More
