Stylish B & B with immaculate rooms, in a beautifully restored farmhouse in a peaceful spot below Etna. Generous breakfast in a lovely light room, with local produce & homemade cakes. Virginie gave us great tips on where to visit & recommended good restaurants. A lovely place to stay but pricey. A softer mattress and the facility to make tea... More

This property has the 'perfect' everything - its recent renovations and modern decor is impressive (old features have been preserved but at the same time highlighted by modern touches), cleanest property I've come across in Europe especially with self contained accommodation. We had our own little self contained house next to the main building which was so cute and charming.... More

We had 3 wonderful days with our 3 kids and visited the Etna (of course!), Taormina and Castelmola and enjoyed the nice region. The view from Sciaraviva is simple the best! Virginia (the owner - French + English fluent is taking care of all details in order to make you feel at home. More

We spent 3 nights during our 15-day holiday in Sicily and it was perfect. After a hot scorching day, you could relax and have some fresh air there. Quiet, elegant spot. Fantastic gourmet dinner. Mario and Virginia were really nice and helpful with everything we needed. Do the etna trekking with Carmelo: he was the best guide ever!! More

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. Especially the view from our terrace over the hills takes your breath away . Mario en Virginie treated us like special guest. Dinner is prepared with love and passion. All the food we had were organic and the olive oil they produce is one of the best. I would definitely come... More

My wife and I stayed at Sciaraviva, a working organic farm at the foothills of Mount Aetna in northeastern Sicily in January, 2010. The farm, which raises olives and wine grapes primarily, is absolutely lovely, with a beautiful, fully apportioned guest house in which we stayed. This included a small kitchen facility, sufficient for us to cook great meals with... More

We stayed with our little son (3 years) two wonderful weeks at Sciaraviva (in the finca as well as in one of the guest rooms) in April 2010 and had a wonderful time exploring not only the nearby areas of Monte Etna, Taormina and the Sicilian east coast but also the very secrets of this wonderful property itself. The main... More

Anyone interested in experiencing the thrill of walking on Mt Etna should consider staying at Sciaraviva. It's a beautiful and relaxing place and the owners are incredibly helpful and well informed about the region. Mario organised two walking trips for my wife and myself and we came away delighted to have heard the hum of the volcano and walked through... More

We stayed seven nights at the little guest house a bit a part from the main house. It is small, but very cosy and sufficiently equipped. The private garden with an excellent view on the sicilian landscape is just marvellous - a breakfast on the terrasse in the sun, but shaded by an olive tree, is a pure pleasure. Although... More
