Area countryside
The B&B is located in Guardia Mangano on the northern outskirts of Acireale (CT), just a thirty-minute drive from Mount Etna. It is situated in the countryside, surrounded by the citrus groves of the 'Riviera dei Limoni', a short distance from the coastal villages of the Ionian coast of Aci (approximately 2 km).
Our structure is geographically located in a strategic point: from here you can easily reach Acireale and its Thermal Baths, the splendid 'Riviera dei Limoni', which is only 2 km away, its characteristic coastal villages (S. Maria La Scala, S. Tecla, Pozzillo, Stazzo) and the sea of the magnificent 'Riviera dei Ciclopi' (8 km away), sung by Verga in "I Malavoglia", with the coastal villages of Acitrezza and AciCastello.
Taormina, Giardini Naxos, and the nearby Alcantara River Gorges, well-known tourist sites worldwide for their invaluable natural beauty, can be reached in just 20 minutes by car. In a day trip, it is possible to go as far as Syracuse, Ragusa, Caltagirone, Piazza Armerina, the Aeolian Islands, and Agrigento.
The entire area is dominated by the imposing silhouette of Mount Etna, which rises in all its majesty. The North and South slopes of the volcano can also be easily reached in just over half an hour.

First time in our life in a Bed and Breakfast. Found by chance on the internet, already the photos posted on their website immediately inspired confidence. Once on the spot, the Bed and Breakfast La Casa del Ficus run by Simone exceeded our expectations. The owner, Simone, was immediately friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. A large, well-kept garden available with plenty of parking space and bikes! Clean apartment, equipped with many comforts. If the opportunity arises, we will definitely return. Already recommended to other friends. 10 out of 10.

We are two couples of friends, we had just come from a bad experience in Acireale and we found this B&B on the internet. The apartment where we stayed is located on the ground floor of a villa just outside Acireale and a short distance from the sea; it overlooks a well-kept garden that can be used (there is also a barbecue that can be used) and the apartment consists of a small living room with a fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, two bedrooms (one is in the open space where the kitchen is also located but it is quite secluded). The owners live on the first floor of the villa and are lovely people. Breakfast is very abundant and is served at the most convenient time for the guests. I would definitely come back! Highly recommended!
