We had a lovely stay at Luca's incredible villa. Our room was exactly as described and he could not have been more welcoming or friendly! The dinner he served was honestly one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I can't say enough about this lovely space or its host.

I had an amazing stay at Dipladenia Garden Country Resort! From the moment we arrived and were greeted by a handshake from Mariana (I hope I am spelling her name right) the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable — they truly make the place special. The resort itself is beautiful, peaceful, and well cared for, with plenty of charm and character.
Practical details were also a huge plus: having convenient on-site parking made coming and going so easy and access to the...

An amazing facility. The staff was attentive and caring without be overbearing. The food is delicious and the location is super. Our room was of adequate size and the amenities were wonderful. They had a secure location for our bicycles which is appreciated.
Only minor glitch was that the hot tub is a bit cool for my preference. Not a big deal at all.
I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Excellent and very large apartment accomodation accessing Mt Etna, Catania and Taormina. Big apartment terrace views of Catania and the sea and back door views directly on Etna. Exceptional made to order breakfast from local cafe delivered to the room. Apartment washer/laundry facilities perfectly met our needs.
Great accommodation at great value.

Nice location, clean room, they forgot to give us our passports after scanning… they sent us a message when they found it after we left. We were lucky we weren’t far

We loved the Santa Caterina hotel, and would highly recommend it to anyone, families, couples, singles. It is in a great location to visit many of the beautiful towns surrounding it, Etna, and Catania. Acireale is Baroque as is much of this part of Italy and very close to the Isole Ciclope of Odyssey fame. Fabulous area, great food, local life.

The rooms were clean and nice. The staff were great. The buses were unreliable but the staff helped you get where you wanted to go. They even got cannolis for us at a local bakery when we had craving

The staff was wonderful. They even met us at the square and navigated our car up into their parking area. They just went over and above doing anything they could for us! The cottage was roomy, decorated nicely and super clean. The staff brought us anything we needed and even let me know when the spa was ready after it went down for 15 minutes. The views from the cottage were superb- from the terraces all the way out to the sea, and the garden with it's citrus and vegetables draped everywhere....
