Restaurant

Il ristorante di AGRITURISMO IL POZZO ANTICO

In this magical setting of paradisiacal scenery, those who wish to taste the delicious products of the farm can take advantage of the excellent typical restaurant, which offers Sicilian and Mediterranean dishes, with particular attention to the scents of herbs and vegetables, according to the excellent preparations of the fantastic and tireless cook. The dishes are made with farm-fresh ingredients, following the seasonality and kilometer-zero principles.

The restaurant stands in front of a gigantic mulberry tree, which dominates the structure and welcomes guests by directing them with its indications (the very long branches) either to the rooms or to the restaurant.

Its majesty makes guests feel protected and finally it seems like entering a world of magic and relaxation.

On the upper terrace above the restaurant, where you can admire the sovereignty of Mount Etna in all its grandeur, from this terrace it seems possible to touch the volcano with a finger, and its impressive scenic beauty suddenly opens up in front of you.

The Agriturismo Il Pozzo Antico is run with a lot of love by the family. The location is beautiful, nestled among vegetable fields and with a view of Mount Etna. The signage could be better. We searched for 30 minutes from the road before we found the property. Both the room and the restaurant are highly recommended. We felt very comfortable during our three-day stay.

Rosy is very friendly and kind. Everything is family-run. The room is very clean. The road to get there is not the best, but it is doable. The breakfast is appreciated, especially the cakes and homemade jams.

We stayed 2 nights and 3 days at Agriturismo Il Pozzo Antico and we had a great time from the first day. The staff was extremely kind and super helpful. The farmhouse is in a great location to visit all the main attractions of eastern Sicily including Etna, Taormina, Acireale, and Catania. Excellent dining service with abundant breakfast and fresh products.

I stayed at Agriturismo Il Pozzo Antico for six nights and my boyfriend and I had a great time. A wonderful place immersed in nature, cool, not far from the town of Giarre and strategically located to visit the stretch of coast between Catania and Taormina. Upon our arrival, we found a very clean room, linens, soaps, and fresh water in the fridge. The room is equipped with an air conditioner that we didn't even need to turn on during our stay around the week of Ferragosto. Both the owner and the rest of the staff were welcoming and always available to us, from the rich breakfasts to the dinners in the splendid garden of the b&b, where we had the pleasure of tasting fresh products grown in the adjacent vegetable garden. I feel like recommending Agriturismo Il Pozzo Antico to everyone, especially to those looking for a welcoming place immersed in nature in this splendid land, away from the frenzy of the nearby tourist destinations.

Highly recommended! We stayed at this facility for a week: the staff is very friendly, especially Rosy, ready to meet all our needs. The cleanliness is excellent, every day the room is tidy and with clean linen. The structure is immersed in the countryside and is 2 minutes from an exceptional beach with very clean sea: Fondachello! I highly recommend going there! Rating 10+.

The holiday in this structure was relaxing. The room always very clean. The location is convenient for the sea and to see various tourist places. Rosy was attentive and helpful to every request. I really hope to be able to go back there.

Excellent location to reach both the sea and the main tourist spots, surrounded by nature and away from the chaos. Impeccable cleanliness and good restaurant. Perhaps the only flaw is the noise of the guests and especially children at the restaurant until late at night, but considering that you are on vacation, you can accept going to bed late.

Farmhouse surrounded by greenery with a view of Mount Etna and very close to the sea. Equipped with a restaurant and large parking lot (unpaved). Quite spacious rooms with air conditioning. Bathroom with window. Excellent and accurate cleaning. Sheets are changed frequently and towels are changed daily. The owner has always been very kind, friendly, and available for our requests, including advice on what to visit in the surroundings. Excellent breakfast. The adjacent restaurant/pizzeria is something spectacular. Excellent food presented impeccably. The quality/price ratio is high. In the future, the structure should be enriched with a pool. I highly recommend...

Grazieeee.

In this structure you will find cleanliness, courtesy, availability, the manager (Rosy) very attentive to the guests' needs, delicious food, fresh and clean air, and also romantic corners for dining. What more could you want? We will definitely come back, and as an old saying goes: Seeing is believing. The proximity to the sea is another asset.

Structure immersed in the greenery with a view of Mount Etna and a very short distance from the beach. Equipped with a restaurant and ample parking. Rooms sufficiently spacious although slightly dimly lit and equipped with air conditioning. Bathroom with a window. Good cleanliness. The changing of sheets is frequent and towels are changed daily. The owner has always been available for our requests, even for advice on what to visit in the surroundings. I would improve breakfast by adding toast, cheeses, and cold cuts. I would definitely recommend the facility.

Nice structure immersed in the green, only flaw the road a bit narrow but, on the other hand, Rosy's management makes you forget the discomfort. Clean rooms, we also had dinner in the structure which is also a great farmhouse.\n\nLet Rosy advise you for any activity, she always has the solution.

We had a very pleasant week in the company of Rosy and her family. She is very welcoming and always available. We had dinner at the restaurant every evening and we enjoyed it. Everything was delicious. It is a quiet and relaxing place among the lemon trees, between the sea and Mount Etna (attention: you need to find the path that leads there!). It would just need some armchairs or loungers to rest after days of sightseeing.
