A lovely hotel with great facilities and very nice staff. They have a very good restaurant. We had a wonderful view of Etna from our balcony. After some stressful driving in Sicily we enjoyed two quiet days by the pool.

This hotel is very good value for money. Lots of space for parking and the gates are closed for the night. Checking in was flawless and very fast. We got a big room with view to the Etna Volcano, amazing! Nice and cozy design, big bed, all toiletries provided. Small refrigerator in the room to cool down your drinks/snacks. Nice breakfast with optional hot food (eggs prepared to your liking), croissants with a cute filling station for them, fresh fruit, yogurts, good coffee. Nice breakfast room with lots of sun. The staff at the hotel made us feel very welcome.

The owner, Salvatore, is a very friendly man, who provided us with excellent breakfasts (granita) and service in general during our stay. I honestly think that there aren't any better options to stay in this region if you would like to experience the classic Sicilian culture. Furthermore, the train station is close to the bed and breakfast, making it ideal to travel between Taormina and Siracusa.

Giarre is not a great tourist attraction.
Giarre is not a great tourist attraction. However it is a great center for touring East Sicily.
We found it very strange that Sicilians keep to their siesta even in winter. After sunset when it got very dark and a bit cold, we did not feel like going to a restaurant (they open at 6 or 7). So we cooked our dinners. Good for us, bad for them.

Quiet desolate place with nothing to do. Boring.
Quiet desolate place with nothing to do. Boring.
On the other hand, it mightbe idea for anyone looking for a quiet place out of the way to spend a few days doing nothing. Our place had a pool (against separate payment which we found odd as we were never asked to pay elswhere. Pool was open to kids so be aware of this.

Nice base if you would like to visit the Etna.
Nice base if you would like to visit the Etna. Also the coast is not far away and with half an hour with scooter you're in Giardini Naxos (which is also recommended if you like a fishers/seaside town with a nice beach).
We stayed over at Giarre the days after we came from Catania to travel further to Taormina. Giarre itself doesn't have much to offer for tourists, but it's nice to see the more local center with less tourism and less traffic. We stayed at Moni Rooms for two nights which I would recommend to everyone who wants to visit Giarre!
Real Dolce Vita feeling! This is how I could describe the week we spent here. The reception, the view, both towards Etna and Taormina, in the shade of the citrus trees with the fantastic cappuccino created by Andrea, it was simply heavenly. Lella outdid the impossible to prevent and solve any problem that arose, most notably a near Mission Impossible in relation to my daughter's health problem. Even next to the wonderful sights of Sicily, the greatest joy for me is that I got to know these two wonderful people!
Everything was excelent and even better than we expect. Host was really nice and kind. Refreshed few times all staff in refrigerator as water, ice tea etc. Also prepared surprice traditional cannoli rolls and offered us Limoncelo from his own until ours was cold enough. Also on breakfast he served us what we choose. Really nice bonus was access to the roof terrace with view on the see and Etna volcano. We can only recommed to others who wants to visit Giarre for good price and perfect service.
This is a superb small hotel, situated in a large orchard at the foot of Mount Etna. The room was fine--minimalist but large enough and with an excellent shower, but the reason to stay here is the outdoors. The pool is extraordinary, large enough for lap swimming and surrounded by comfortable lounge areas--and a terrific bar. And the restaurant is incredible: 2 star food in a 1 star setting (they're building a new restaurant facility on the property. We would return here in a heartbeat.
The house is great, clean, spacious, cozy and with a great view. On one side you can see the sea and on the other the volcano Etna. It is suitable for a family holiday. The owner Jessica is an extremely positive, smiling and responsive girl. She welcomed us with Sicilian sweets, a bottle of sparkling wine and mineral water, answered our every query within 3-4 minutes. I highly recommend sending there, we will certainly visit them again on our next trip to Sicily.
Very beautiful and big accommodation close to the railway station of Giarre/Riposto (the station of the circumetnea railway is very close to this apartment). I especially liked the high ceilings and the paintings there. There was enough place for 5 persons in this accommodation. There were 2 bathrooms, a kitchen with the most important tools, a beautiful living room with television and three bed rooms. Two bed rooms were really amazing containing balconies.
A very nice hotel just off a main road in Giarre. I was visiting cousins in the area and this hotel was very convenient for them to meet me. A very beautiful restoration of an old farmhouse. Great views of Etna in the distance. The grounds are very park-like and there is plenty of free parking. The dinner restaurant on the hotel property was great. Although there was an additional charge, breakfast was very good and well worth it.
A great family business. Excellent hospitality. An oasis of calm in a wonderful Sicilian architecture. Breakfast is hearty and very enjoyable in the backyard. The parking lot is large and comfortable. Rooms are big. Never be afraid to ask questions. They're also best to tell you the most local recommendations. You can also get an umbrella in hotel to use on the beach ;)The pool is small but enjoyable.
Excellent very clean B and B not too far from central Giarre. Very hospitable and friendly host family. An oasis in the heat with an excellent pool and relaxing garden. The room was good, well equipped, excellent WiFi and good AC. Bathroom fine too.
Very good breakfast and service, friendly atmosphere. Good restaurants we found with Simona's guidance. Great location to get on the Circumetnea train.
The views from the hotel are so scenery and areas so peaceful in the outskirts of the Etna. The hospitality of this Agriturismo was superb! Tasty restaurant which is very useful if you don't want to drive at night, safe guarded inside parking and the hospitality was great especially la Signora Rosa ☺️, she's the sweetest you can find. We recommend the stay very much!
This was the nicest place I stayed in during my two weeks trip around Sicily. The place is so beautiful, modern peaceful and clean. It has everything you need to have a great time.
We had two balconies, sea view, access to washing machine… It’s half an hour drive from many hot spots like Taormina, Giardini di Naxos, Catania etc.
The apartment is very comfortable and equipped with all necessary. Has a safe parking. Beautiful views of Etna. It is way bigger than the pics show. Very nice, clean and modern. We spent lovely family Christmas week. Francesco was very helpful. Giarre had lots on and convenient location. Would recommend for a family stay.
Good location at the base of Etna close to Giarre. It’s a lovely rustic farmhouse. The room was very spacious for our family of 4, two singles downstairs and a queen upstairs on the the mezzanine. It’s a relaxing place set amongst orchards of fruit trees. Breakfast was delicious including Lorenzo’s homemade jams.
The location is excellent. Very quiet neighbourhood, absolutely safe within a residence called Kallipoli. Still, just a few minutes from the center of Giarre, and very close to the best touristic attractions (Taormina, Etna, etc.)
The host was really friendly and helpful. It was easy to communicate with despite the lack of a common language. Everything was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. So far the best accommodation in Sicily.
