We stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's ideally located about a 15 minute drive inland from Giardini Naxos and a great base for exploring Mt Etna, Taormina etc. Gabriella and Franceso greeted us very warmly upon arrival and showed us around and told us about the history of the place - what a great job...

Gabriella and her husband have done a marvelous job converting the old farm buildings to lovely, tastefully decorated guest rooms. The setting is peaceful and secluded, making it ideal for a restful and relaxing visit. Be sure to get Gabriella's hand drawn, but very informative map of nearby restaurants and sites to see. Fondo Chipollate is well located for day... More

We loved Fondo Chipollate and wished we had more time there. (Tip - do NOT follow Google maps directions, it will take you to a closed road crossing the river.) The place itself is lovely, run by sweet and helpful Gabriella. She told us how the place has been her family for 5 generations and how she has managed to... More

From the first moment my mum and I felt at home in this beautiful agriturismo. Gabriella welcomed us in such a warm way and the spacious clean room was just beautiful. Every morning we enjoyed the delicious breakfast and coming back here after visiting touristic villages Taormina and Giardini-Naxos was very relaxing (the swimmingpool was just heaven).

This aguristismo was a highlight of our holiday in Sicily. Gabriella, the hostess and owner, was a stand out, she was so friendly, smiling and helpful. The accommodation was gorgeous, rustic, clean and spacious, the pool very welcome (and again immaculately clean). The location is handy to many sights and activities, including Catania and Taormina. The only criticism would be... More

The place, though difficult to find - would help to put some signs on the roads nearby -, was excellent. Incredible location with a marvellous view, original traditional furniture, spacious rooms, beautiful swimming pool and not so abundant but great breakfast with fresh orange juice, fresh fruits and homemade jam (try "gelsi"=mulberry). And the best: Gabriella, the owner, always helpful... More
