We stayed here in April 2013 for 4 nights, and we can't fault it. We had the top floor apartment in Alberto's town house and it's just beautiful. A big comfy bed, a private roof top patio with views of Mt Etna and lots of space. One Caveat - the roof slopes in the bathroom, so those over six foot... More

I had a clean and comfortable self contained room in the main house. Alberto, the proprietor, speaks excellent English and is very helpful with advice of places to go and things... More

Alberto is the friendly and welcoming host, who met us and led us from Zafferana Etnea to stay in his vineyard villa home. This was our first stop in Sicily, and we had forgotten just how hard Italian beds are, but we had a good night's sleep as this carefully created home, which follows the lie of the land, includes...

Villa Rosa is a great B & B with 3 levels of gardens. Our friends had an enormous suite with kitchen and dining area beautifully decorated with pottery etc. The room we stayed in was smaller and had a low ceiling but we were warned of this in advance. Our host Alberto was extremely helpful and it was fun talking... More

After our day of sightseeing at Mount Etna, Alberto met us at the BB in town and we then followed him by car to his property just on the outskirts (5 minute drive). It really was a sight for sore eyes. Alberto's property is just beautiful and we could not believe how tranquil and lovely the area is. The room... More
