The view was spectacular and the property was quite lovely. The staff, or rather the family that run the property are also very charming. We will 100% come back.
Located 558 feet from the rocky beach of Cannizzaro, Il Giardino Dei Limoni offers a terrace and a garden. This bed and breakfast features simple rooms with free Wi-Fi.

The room was comfortable and had all we needed. The garden was very cute and the breakfast area was nicely decorated. Communication with host was easy and efficient. He suggested a restaurant to have sea food which was excellent. We overall enjoyed our stay very much. Also, very fast internet
La Castellese enjoys a location in Aci Castello, 29 miles from Isola Bella and 30 miles from Taormina Cable Car – Upper Station.

Locals were rude and often very Arrogant and attempted to overcharge far too many times. They hope you won’t challenge them about it. My advice is , Ask how much before paying and Check your receipts and bills .
The town is scruffy and dirty. The vast amounts of discarded Rubbish on the streets is difficult to ignore. Definitely would not return.
Positive note : The sea view and the sunset is beautiful.

Actually Frasteva is located in the town of Valverde not in...
Actually Frasteva is located in the town of Valverde not in Aci Castello, which is a short drive awa. It is more inland than Aci Castello and it is convenient to all of the towns that make up "Paesi Etnei", that is, the little towns on the southeastern slope of Mount Etna, which are suburbs of Catania. It is a great jumping off point for Taormina, Catania and Siracusa and is a twenty-five minute ride to the airport, depending on traffic.
What makes this newly renovated and picturesque venue a perfect stay are the wonderful accomodations and the personal and cheery attention to detail given to all that stay there by its host, Stefania. She is simply an absolute pleasure to interact with. I am going there the next time I return to the Catania area and I assure anyone who stays there that they will not be disappointed.

Aci Trezza is beautiful...the place we stayed in is NOT!
Aci Trezza is beautiful...the place we stayed in is NOT! It had literally a derelict entrance, with wires dangling from the ceiling, parts of which appeared to be about to give in; filthy place (I was expecting to see rats it was that bad!)....It is NOT close to the beach (although the place had a seaview); I would certainly NOT recommend to anybody! Will most certainly not book again! If I were to rate it honestly I would give a 2/10 and the 2 is only for the seaview!

Very quiet place .. Small but very connected to the sea.
Very quiet place .. Small but very connected to the sea. So fish is staple. It is a bit laid back . Think basic and you will love it.
It is such a shame that the towns coming down to Aci Castello (note that this town is close to sea level) have a lot of garbage scattered around and gives you a very different vibe of this beautiful basic fishing village ..

Aci Castello is a great place to stay if you want to explore...
Aci Castello is a great place to stay if you want to explore the area - the wonderful coastline up to Taormina, the great sights while trekking around Etna, and breathtaking villages like Castiglione di Sicilia.
Aci Castello is smaller and quieter than its walk-to, more touristy neighbour Aci Trezzo, and 'The Sea You Can Feel' is a unique place to stay, perched high above the rocky coastline. There are stunning 360 degree views from the spacious roof terrace, a perfect place to indulge in a sundowner or two, whilst the 'lookout' below has 3 walls of windows for relaxing and taking in the amazing location!
The owners, Giuseppe and Antonella are passionate about Sicily and gave us loads of useful advice.
This apartment is beautifully remodelled and equipped with everything that one may think of. The views from the terrace and the living room are gorgeous. The apartment is very comfortable for two couples since there are two well-separated bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Everything was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated and organised to provide comfort for the guests. The hosts are very nice and communication with them was effortless and effective. They also provided excellent suggestions about restaurants and local attractions.
Thrilled we selected Villa Ortensia and chose to stay outside Catania in Aci Castello. Great location to explore the Mt. Etna region and day-trip to Taormina. From our balcony we enjoyed the sunrise over Ionian Sea each morning. Breakfast was a great assortment of items to kick off the day (yogurt for protein, no meat or cheese). Secured parking on street with gate. Easy walk to several restaurants for evening fare. After driving in Catania and trying to find parking, it's a no brainer to head north to stay and explore!
The location of the apartment is perfect, only 5 minutes from the sea, a grocery store, and great restaurants! The host was so kind, and nice, when we arrived she welcomed us with delicious sweets! The apartment is really clean and comfortable, the pillows are amazing to sleep on! The balconies were a blessing and the view was great, on the roof the terrace is easily accessible and a great place to relax, or sunbathe! It was a pleasure to stay here, and if we come back to Sicily we will definitely stay here again!
Phenomenally beautiful apartment overlooking the sea- the most beautiful, indeed, of all of the places I stayed in Sicily! Lots of plants and furnishings helped make it feel more like a home than a hotel, and the views of Etna and the ocean were extraordinary! Signora Pavone could not have been nicer- she waited over 45 minutes on the street for my arrival (I took the wrong highway exit!) and made it as easy as possible for me to leave in the predawn to catch my flight! Much appreciated!!
The house is located somewhat hidden right on the volcanic beach in Aci Trezza. The host - Anna - is extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. The apartment has a really modern and clean feel to it with a super nice and modern kitchen and bathroom area(s). Nice garden and an invaluable secure parking for the car. Good base for visiting Etna, Taormina, Syracusa and Savoca. Beaches are rocky due to the closeness of Etna - first sandy beach is South of Syracusa about an hour drive away.
Alfio was a wonderful host, he was always very punctual and the house was full of comforts.
I recommend it to whoever is looking for a house fully equipped with everything and the most breathtaking views of all times. The house is huge and easy access to the centre of Catania.
Assigned parking if you have a car or two and perfect to rent for a big family.
Direct access to the sea side and much more to discover :)
It was our second time at La Terrazza, and won’t be the last one. Everything was great. Apartment is located right at the seafront. It has two big terraces, one overlooking the sea and the castle. Many restaurants, shops and cafes are within walking distance. Lucrezia (owner) is very warm and helpful person and she will make sure you have enjoyable stay. She also bakes the best pear tarts ever!
Wonderful spot with a beautiful terrace with incredible sea view…don’t miss the sunrise. Swimming spot just outside, lovely town with restaurants etc a 5 minute walk, supermarket across the road. Hosts very flexible with check-in/out timings and very friendly and helpful. Shame we only had one night here!
The location is great. It is very close to the sea, and there are ice facilities and restaurants that you can use in just a 2-minute walk. At night it is easy to go to Aci Castello, which is a nice lively place to spend some time, go to a nice restaurant and have a walk near the beautiful sea.
All was good, the view from the terrace was nice although I did not expect the road between the hotel and the sea. The sea access was not too great either but the pool is really nice, the breakfast was tasty (although missing savory options) and the private parking was an appreciated benefit.
There is an amazing view of the sea with access to the beach just across the street. The swimming pool in the back was delightful and refreshing! staff was very friendly and helpful and breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea and the 3 Cyclops was a very memorable experience.
Very nice appartment ,close to the sea and the castle. You can find everything you need for cooking. Restaurants and Bars in 2 minutes walking distance. Excellent for a longer stay.
Very nice hosts that make you feel really welcome! Recommended!
Great welcoming place. The host Peppe solves all problems, gives tips for travel destinations, makes a good Sicilian breakfast, talks about things between earth and heaven. In this accommodation, you get much more than just a place to sleep.
The experience Peppe gives: it's not just a B&B, it's like being at home. The view is fantastic, the breakfast various and super tasty, the location is perfect for reaching Catania, Taormina or the Etna.
I'll definitely be back!
The apartment is clean, comfortable, well equipped and organized. The owner is very kind and helpful. The location is perfect if you like to visit Catania and its surrounding,
Fantastic spot to explore Sicily! Close to the water, number of restaurants and an old castle.
Great value, easy contact with the host. Definitely recommending!
