Description
Our bed & Breakfast, in a Sicilian villa of the 800’s combines the exclusive atmosphere of a family residence with a more modern approach in accommodation. We dispose of various quiet rooms, sound-insulated, on the ground or top floor, with charming panoramic views; it is the ideal place to relax between excursions. At the same time, it is possible to meet the owners who love to offer warm hospitality to their visitors.
Each room, recently renovated and well-appointed, is equipped with bathroom, independent entrance (walk-in), indoor parking, heating or ventilation fans that also function as air – conditioning, according to the season, satellite TV, DVD and fridge. The guests can avail themselves of the magic atmosphere of an old garden with lemon trees, as well as wide balconies, one of which is equipped with a kitchen corned and barbecue.

I prefer to write down below a couple of reviews made by my guests.
- The host welcomes you with elegance, charm and discretion, carefully managing every aspect of the hotel and the stay of its guests, managing to make them feel almost at home, including our little dog was fine.
The owner Giovanni is very friendly and speaks perfect French!
To welcome you, dear John that we now have the good fortune to be able to consider a friend, so intense were the days (a few, unfortunately) spent together. In the end, come to think, guest house and seem to have the same temperament!
John, Wonderful host, along with his wife manages the Case Zuccaro making guests feel at home, "Home sweet home".
- I found a great willingness and kindness of the owners, who made me feel at home.

Area mid-centre
We are located in Trecastagni, an ancient and quiet village at 600 mt of altitude, on the slopes of the Etna. It is the ideal place for excursions to the volcano since it lies half way along the road between the Mountain and the legendary Riviera dei Ciclopi (20 minutes drive) where one can also have a swim in the beautiful waters of the Jonio Sea. We are 15 km from Catania (a half-hour drive), also the same distance from the airport of Fontanarossa; 35 km from Taormina and 6 km from the toll and the Catania bypass, from which one can easily reach many interesting tourist sites of East Sicily (Taormina, Siracusa, Noto, Piazza Armerina and the baroque towns of the Ragusa area) on a day trip.

We had a short but very sweet stay at Case Zuccaro. Giovanni and his lovely wife were the perfect hosts and showed us around this lovely 18th C. home. After a hard day's trek on Mount Etna and a stroll around the lovely garden he prepared us a fabulous meal as we chatted in a cosy, relaxed setting with local wine, limoncello and fruits and veg to hand. What more could you ask for. The rooms are attached to the main house and each have their own entrance, which is great as you are free to come and go without disturbing anyone else and there is a place o the grounds to park. The only slight negative is the blind exit onto a main road as you leave the property but if there are two of you one can hop out of the car and check that the coast is clear which it generally was.
Lastly the breakfast was to die for. Warm cornettos, fresh bread and rolls from the bakery, Giovanni's homemade jams.
If your planning on visiting Etna (which is spectacular) or the wonderful Greek Amphitheatre in Taormina (30mins by car) do stop at Casa Zuccaro you won't regret it.

È uno dei B&B più belli in cui ho soggiornato, le stanze silenziose affacciate su un magnifico e lussureggiante giardino.
Il signor Giovanni persona di rara cortesia, un soggiorno che non dimenticherò mai, grazie davvero di tutto!

Giovanni è un padrone di casa cordiale ed efficiente. Le camere sono ampie ed accoglienti e la casa rievoca antiche memorie e ha un bellissimo giardino. La colazione viene servita in un padiglione in giardino. Da provare sono le buonissime marmellate di agrumi fatte in casa.

Il Sig. Giovanni, persona molto gioviale e cordiale, ti accoglie nella propria casa, a pochi passi dal centro di Trecastagni, una villa con ampio parco e spazi verdi. Ottima la possibilità di parcheggiare all'interno.
La colazione, in zona apposita nel parco, tempo permettendo, è davvero gradevole, buone le confetture e marmellate di casa, bello trovare il pane fresco in tavola (cosa non sempre reperibile in B&B), solo aumenterei la varietà di scelta per chi ama la colazione salata (ma è una opinione personale).
Ottima posizione per visitare i paesi vicini ed il parco dell'Etna.
Camera pulita ed accogliente. Un po' datato e rumoroso il condizionatore, ma ci si abitua...

Struttura ben organizzata e pulita. Il proprietario è una persona gentilissima, disponibile e molto cordiale. Con la mia famiglia ci siamo trovati molto bene, il cibo è ottimo e il proprietario un ottimo cuoco. Lo consiglio alle persone di qualità che sanno apprezzare il buon gusto, la cortesia e la buona cucina. La struttura è accogliente e confortevole.
