We had a lovely 6 night stay at the Villa Chiarenza. We were made to feel warm and welcome. As many reviews have said, the house is the family ancestrial home and is furnished in an antique style, but having raised 6 daughters of her own, the Signora was relaxed about everything, although I'm sure she appreciates well behaved children....

This was a truly charming bed and breakfast that we stayed in for two nights. We were on the top floor with a private balcony overlooking Etna. The house is historical and felt a little like a trip back in time. The owners were sweet and attentive, and the breakfast in the garden was outstanding. The hotel is set just... More

Easy to find, very close to the motorway exit at Giardini Naxos, so close you are on the small road parallel to the motorway toll ticket offices. No problem with parking its in the garden area. Our room at the top was very spacious, with a good bed and balcony looking towards mount Etna at sunset. She is very helpful... More

This was a lovely place to stay for 3 days while hiking up Etna and generally exploring the wine country and quaint towns in the region.

Rooms were spacious and lovely. We bought... More

It was if we had entered another century. Everything was as we hoped. Paintings on the wall, antiques, wonderful hosts, great view of Mt Etna,etc. More

Pros: What a place. It is the hostess’ generational family home and is a virtual 18th-19th century museum, with art and statuary everywhere. Although she spoke little English, she took us on a grand tour and we communicated fairly well. We were on the second floor, in a big suite with sitting area, all antique furniture, and have a large... More

Most welcoming and friendly hosts. Very near to the highway entrance of Giardini Naxos, yet quiet. Your car is parked safely inside the premacies. The only slight... More

Yet again used tripadvisor to source a hotel for a short holiday and we hit on a real gem. Absolutely beautiful surroundings-eating breakfast in idyllic walled gardens, huge rooms furnished with antiques and objets d' art and the most welcoming of hosts. You were made to feel at home yet like a princess! Only a 10minute walk to the beach... More

This Villa made for a perfect get away holiday. Owned by a Baron it is now 3 centuries old and in excellent condition. Our room and huge private terrace overlooked Mt Etna, an unbelieveable site , and a great view of the seacoast . The home was decorated with art work galore and antiques( so I guess it is not... More
