La Fattoria Dei Nonni

Wow! This is a splendid place to stay, our room had panoramic views, to Etna on one side and glorious countryside from the balcony in the other direction. The bedroom was spacious with comfy bed, a roomy en-suite and complimentary tea, coffee, beer and soft drinks. Francesca and Angela are great hosts, breakfast was traditionally Sicilian with local produce, but varied each morning. We had two evening meals which were delicious and plentiful, with a bottle of Sicilian wine and their own limoncello - fabulous value. Water from their own well was a bonus, Highly recommended.

This place is a piece of paradise. Not the first time we stayed there and I can say that consistency is a virtue these people have. It is a typical Agritourism, all rooms, mostly in the form of scattered structures on their vast land, yet all strategically situated within a stone’s throw away from all amenities like the pool and the restaurant. Every structure is surrounded by a plethora of flora. Hence, one can expect a high degree of privacy should one wish to chill outside the assigned room. Rooms are spacious and squeaky clean. Please bear in mind that you would be staying on a farm-like structure, and you would inevitably be paid visits by “unwanted” creatures (especially during the summer time) which you would not find in concrete jungles. A bit of anti-mosquito (or whatever) repellant will do the trick. Nothing that will eat you alive. I strongly suggest that you opt for lunch or dinner or both - depending on the availability and circumstances. “Amazing” doesn’t even begin to describe the quality. Obviously most of the food comes directly from their land…fresh, genuine and abundant. Simplicity is key. And their olive oil…liquid gold. Buy some before you leave…upon availability obviously. You like shopping? Perfect. A 10 minute drive to Etnapolis and a 40 minute drive to Sicilia Outlet Village. You can leave everything in your vehicle since there’s plenty of gated parking. Being an Agritourism run by the owners, Francesco and Angela are the personification of hospitality. Be it the first time you’re visiting or a repeat visitor, they will treat you more like a friend than a client. Always readily available to tend to your needs and always making sure that these are satisfied as best as humanly possible. Just ask. You’d be surprised!! One final comment. If you look the place up on internet, (eg Google Maps or Google Earth) do not be put off by the surroundings. Unfortunately the town this place makes part of is not the best that Sicily can offer (I’ve seen much worse believe me). When you enter the gate to the Fattoria dei Nonni (Resort dell’Etna), you will find yourselves in a completely different world. I have no hesitation in recommending this place.

The room we were given was huge and we loved the views . Out the front we we could see Etna , and the large back balcony had views of the hills and towns beneath us . Our hosts were excellent and so friendly and welcoming ... and they even came and got us on our way up to them as we had relied on sat nav and been stuck due to a flood on the road as it was very wet weather when we arrived. The pool area was lovely and the pool was super clean . We will definitely go back next year for sure .

After an early arrival. earlier than 14:00hrs, we where received with a lot of attention: introduced to the room, pool, and the whole area. a cold beer, wine and fruits for the kids at the pool. The view from the property is amazing, everywhere you can see Etna. Rooms are spacious, very clean and comfortable. Interior selected with love and care. The food here is amazing. Never ever had a breakfast like here, all fresh; bread, croissants pastries, juices, jam's, Fruits, meets, eggs fried scrambled you name it etc, too much, but so nice! We where here 3 nights, and enjoyed diner here every night. As the breakfast, quantity Italian, quality great. Fresh, all home made and grown accompanied with delicious wine. Francesco and staff make sure all is great. Also to mention: to dinner is served at the pool with Etna views, off course. After diner the comfy bed is waiting. Go here for a rest and get spoiled by Francesco, Angela and great staff. We will be back!

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage boys) spent 5 nights here in early August 2023 and had a wonderful time. We were affected by the closure of Catania airport due to wild fires so our flight was re-scheduled but Francesco was extremely helpful in organising a taxi to collect us from Comiso airport and bring us direct to the property (in the early hours of the morning). He and Angela are fantastic hosts, very kind and welcoming and thoughtful. The property is in a superb location with a view of Etna from the pool area. The room was clean and comfortable with efficient air conditioning, breakfast was a real feast and we ate dinner there 3 times which was also delicious and very good value. Portions are generous! We also had lunch by the pool. The food is freshly made using locally grown (or home grown) ingredients. The boys loved the pool which is a perfect area for relaxing and fun. Thoroughly recommend this place.

We spent two nights here, and we wished we could have stayed longer.. What a fantastic place, room, pool, food and surroundings were just perfect en every way! But what makes it extra special is the people, first of all Angela and Francesco, very helpful from we booked and during the whole stay! Wow- the friendliness, kindness is really something special. Everyone else working there is also amazing, and we have to mention Luca, a friendly and clever boy serving us breakfast - just perfect :) And that brings us to the food- also amazing, we had dinner there one night, a lot of different dishes, all tasty and perfect. And the breakfast is out of this world- you get a lot of different dishes served, all tasty and perfectly cooked. In our two weeks trip to Sicily this was the highlight, and we really hope to go back one day. Thank you to La fattoria dei nonni for a fantastic and perfect stay!! Grazie Mille to you all ❤️

This is an excellent place to stay at. Francesco is a great host. Always ready to help and give us the best tips where to visit. Food is excellent. He was always very attentive to my dietary requirements still providing me with the best desserts. Staff so nice and helpful. We had a great time staying there. A big thanks to Francesco, Angela and all the staff. Highly recommend the place.

What an absolute pleasure to immerse ourselves in the Sicilian countryside after a long day of travel. Francesco, the epitome of a farm host, was able to coordinate a taxi pick up at the last moment. The food was fresh, delicious and the preparation infused with pride. The dinner was extraordinarily delicious! The location is relatively close to the south side of Mt Etna for an enjoyable day hike. We could not have been more pleased with this stay and would highly recommend staying here after a busy day in bustling Catania. Grazi Mille Francesco and Angela!

A very personal experience as the hosts are simply lovely. The whole place is very cozy. Especially the dining and pool area are inviting places. The quality of food is just amazing. Definitely one of the best places we ever stayed at. You can't make a mistake by staying here.
