Lovely stay. Helpful communication from manager, with super easy self-check-in/out. Well-kept property with beautiful plants/trees and views alongside a good-sized pool. Stay was very calm and quiet, and room had all that was needed. A/C functioned well for small room size. My only complaint would be a fluctuating Wifi strength/connectivity when in certain areas. I would highly recommend this property.

We had a lovely stay at the Etna Bike Holiday property. The view was spectacular and there was always enough space around the pool. The hosts were very friendly and the breakfast exceptional. Giovanni, the owner, even prepared lovely homemade gluten-free cakes for me every morning and we stayed for 10 days! We also received good advice for bike tours and my husband could rent a bike directly from the property. We stayed on the top floor and had no sea view but a Mount Etna view from the huge roof terrace. We were surprised that there was a small kitchen with a dining room that we were allowed to use for eating and storing food in the fridge (cooking was not allowed) since we had only booked the room and not an apartment. This was very convenient for lunches. If you are not afraid of walking uphill, you can walk into the town center within 10 minutes which mainly offers restaurants, a lovely sea view and is very lively in the evening also with locals. For shopping other than food, you need to go to bigger towns, like Catania or Syracuse (which is a lovely day trip!). The hosts speak English, but not very well, so some Italian knowledge is advantageous, at least this was the case in 2019 when we stayed there.

Etna Bike Holiday is the must-visit B&B at the foot of Mount Etna. The welcome is warm, the advice is relevant, the breakfast is plentiful. For the more sporty, the manager is passionate about cycling and knows the area perfectly. I highly recommend this place.

Passing through to go on the Etna excursion, we stayed only one night in this establishment. The location is enchanting, with a panoramic view of the sea and Mount Etna. The town of Zafferana is within walking distance and Etna is about a 20-minute drive away. The owners are kind and helpful, providing useful advice. The cleanliness of the rooms is excellent, they are new and comfortable. The pool is convenient and the surrounding garden is very well maintained. The breakfast served by the pool is very enjoyable and plentiful. The establishment has an agreement with the refuge on Etna, so you get a complimentary lunch. I recommend it without a doubt.

The answer from the host:
Grazie é stato bello ospitarvi spero di rivederci presto.

The place was perfect: our room had a view of Mount Etna on one side and the sea on the other. The pool, the welcome, the breakfast were very good. Closed parking. The B&B is a 5-minute walk from the center of Zafferana Etnea, which is a very pleasant small town, 20 minutes by car from the sea and the North and South access to Mount Etna. We will return without hesitation!

emmanuelle

Very good property. Perfect welcome. Very good breakfast. The B&B is classy (panorama, decor) and very well located for an excursion to Mount Etna. The village center is worth a stroll. The accommodations are sufficiently separated to make you feel at home. The pool is large and pleasant with plenty of sun loungers. Recommended.

All perfect. Very kind and helpful hosts. Breakfast directly by the pool. Great view of the sea and the volcano. The room next to the pool house is nicely (modern) furnished. However, it cannot be fully darkened -> Bring a sleep mask.

I stayed only one night during the 'ottobrata', the property is close to the city center, although it's located in a new and quiet area. The room was comfortable and very clean, breakfast was ok, manager Giovanni was helpful and friendly. The only regret: not being able to swim in that inviting pool, surrounded by that garden with a clean and well-kept lawn. One more reason to come back and visit you. Well done and thank you.
