Etna Botanic Garden

The owner came and wanted to be paid 4 days before the check out ?. Not very clean. Excellent place for agrotourism!

Very welcoming staff and comfortable rooms. The garden is wonderful.

Place is nice and comfortable however rooms are located within a large garden and is not well lit at night. WiFi is only available in breakfast room. Breakfast was good!

Lovely place, if you plan to visit etna, catania, taormina, lipary island and agrigento, then this is a good starting point. Owners speak english, the food is amazing and the surroundings - unbelievable - such peaceful hundreed years old garden in the middle of town, calm and beautiful.

Location not too hard to find. Upon arrival no one was there to greet us. As we came to the gate we had a large selection of bells to ring. As we didn’t know which one, we tried calling the number with no answer. After a few minutes the gate opened as someone was going out and they told us to go inside. Inside the owner asked us if we rung the bell because he’s not the one to greet us. A woman who didn’t know a word of English showed us the way down to the cabin and left us there without any information. After some time we went back up and called for the owner again to ask some questions. Got some short answers before he run away in the middle of the conversation with some woman. The accommodation was nice and cozy. Good AC in bedroom. Missing quite a few necessities in kitchen. No hairdryer in cabin, nor iron. Half a toilet roll and a bar soap. Got one set of towels supposed to last us 7 days. Same with bedsheets. Cabin was combined with other apartment so we shared walls. Lyhört. So if it’s peace and quite you want this might not be for you. We had babies and the dogs keeping us up most of the night. Also the water heater was beeping a few times every hour throughout both day and night. The garden is more like an overgrown jungle. Pool was nice, a bit too cold. When we needed help or information we went back up as we were told we could just knock if we had any questions. The doors are guarded by 3 dogs who attacked as you tried to enter the premises. So you definitely couldn’t knock, trying to call for someone didn’t work either. We tried calling the number 3 times with no answer or callback. Breakfast was ok, not a big selection but had most of what you’d want. As for food you could pay 20€ for a lunch or dinner at the premises. The area around have about 2 restaurants so you definitely need to be able to get around by car. So, you do need a car for this location yet the garden is not adjusted for it. The roads are very slim and the garden around grows over to scratch your car. Not well lit at night. As we were checking out we had no information about where to leave key and no one to help us. In conclusion, very high price for what you’re getting, with bad service.

Curious Little place. Right in the middle of a busy village you'll find this Oasis of tranquility. The rustic feel is taken to another level. Don't expect wifi or even a microwave in the room. You'll be swapping all your modern expectancies for a truly out there experience. There are chickens, peacocks, tropical trees, ponds, jungle like quantities of mosquitos and charm all in equal measure.

This place is really amazing. The garden is really big and beautiful, it's difficult to think you're so close to a city. The rooms are decorated with care and taste. We felt like home. The personal is incredibly kind. We look forward to come back again

Amazing place. Green everywhere, pool is amazing, art in every corner, rooms are comfortable and staff is very friendly. Salvatore is always giving you directions and trying to make you feel at home. Will def come back soon!
