Beautiful rustic setting. However on arrival we were told no rooms were available although we had produced our booking form. The manager made a phone call and then miraculously rooms were made available!! Didnt understand what game was being played. The manager then was all charm and courtesy. After the initial shock and annoyance the stay was pleasant

Nice rustic village hotel
Charming rustic hotel based in the etna area. Based in a quite village over looking Etna, great base to explore the etna and coastal area, we were only 30mins drive from the beautiful Taormina and beautiful beaches. The hotel it self is a charming rustic hotel with lots of traditional character. Our room had a balcony overlooking the village.

Worst experience ever!
Although we had initially booked the accommodation for our entire stay in Sicily (10 nights) the poor conditions of the accommodation forced us to leave immediately the premises, having to look in a rush for a new accommodation at the peak of the hot season of the island. The service and accommodation was unsatisfactory in the following ways: 1) Five minutes into having checked in into the B&B the receptionist left the premises holding our passports overnight and without giving us any emergency contact number. 2) The walls of the accommodation were thin and permeated all the noises around: we could hear the snoring from the neighbouring rooms and in the morning the steps of people going down the stairs at 7.00 am woke us up. 3) The beds were super uncomfortable, with very hard and worn out springs. The sheets looked dirty and washed out 4) The shower cubicle was tiny, the curtain full of mold, the drainage wasn’t working so you ended up with your feet soaking in the water accumulated during your shower. The hot water supply run out after the first person in the bedroom had showered. 5) Our young daughters were placed in a room that was literally on the street and without any security other than a surveillance camera that probably wasn’t being monitored by anyone as there was no staff in place at the time. The hotel refused to reimburse us for the nights we did not use and we were left paying double for our holiday accommodation.

Great hotel close to Mount Etna
Wonderful stay with very personal service. Home cooked meal that was delicious. Would recommend this hotel to anyone that want to stay away from big hotels. A little hard to find, had to ask local people for directions.

Best deal ever
First of all I would like to thank Mr. Rosario (Manager), it's due to him our stay was simply superb, he had prepared every night our traditional Sicilian dinner and apart from that all other arrangements well care in advance for us in very good way. The hotel is quite clean and we realized that in general our stay was even better than our expectations. All staff personnel are very friendly, air conditioning works fine as well as the internet connection. I don't have a single complainant for this hotel. Only one single advise for travelers is to hire a care in advance in order to make your stay perfect!

Non touristy, rustic, value for money
We enjoyed our stay here. It was in a off beat location, very interesting if you want to see the non touristy side of Sicily. You will need a car if you want to visit the many excellent sites in the area. Etna is close as is Taormina and we even drove down to Siracusa for the day from here. Catania airport is about is just over an hour's drive away. The owner, Valentino and the staff were very helpful and friendly. October 2014

Lovely room with great balcony with views across the valley/town. Excellent breakfast with full buffet of tasty choices. Only slight let down was cold showers in the morning....only stayed one night and water got hotter later, so don't know if this was a one off.

Pleasant ten day stay
Our family of four stayed for ten days in two rooms in the main part of this rustic B&B. Our rooms were clean , comfortable and had balconies with great views. The other rooms are spread out and may involve several flights of stairs so may not be suitable for the elderly or infirm. Breakfast was good with a wide selection of pastries, cheese and cold meat. The fresh orange juice and coffee were great The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. We specifically booked a B&B with internet access as it was important for our son & daughter to catch up on revision. Unfortunately, the internet connection was very hit and miss. Another issue was the thin walls. - even normal pitched sound travels far. I suppose there is only so much that can be done given the age of the B&B. The noise was not too much of an issue with us but might bother other light sleepers. The atmosphere around the B&B is peaceful and calm and we enjoyed the hooting of owls at night. Despite the two negatives, we would highly recommend a visit to the B&B to enjoy typical Sicilian life. The village itself is beautiful and has lovely walks and views.

Real Sicily far from the madding crowd,
If you want to see the real Sicily & experience & sample family cooking at its best this is the place for you, but you must have a car, and drive with care, so much to see, & Castiglione well worth exploring with its steep steps & streets but you will find so excellent restaurants mainly the La Dispensa Dell'Etna for lunch & the Presidenta for a one off meal but the hotel is the place to eat in the evening. If you found any problems this would soon be rectified by the excellent Valentino & his staff who do all in their power to make you stay wonderful.

Love the place
My wife and I went for our 25th anniversary, and we very much enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and had all the nessessary ammenaties. The bed was a little hard for me but comfortable all the same. The shower in our room was a bit small for us. The staff and owner were awesome and very helpful. Morning breakfast was great too. Even with the small shower and the harder bed we would very much like to go back there. Our whole stay was very pleasant

Quirky but nice
Probably more a B&B than hotel but there was bar in the dining room. A bit difficult too find but if you look for the little petrol station and I think there's probably only one, you're almost there. The manager, Valentino, is a really nice helpful chap and if I had a criticism the walls are a bit thin.

Lovely B&B in lovely quiet town.
Cute B&B in the lovely village of Castiglione di Sicilia. Good location, parking (in the street but within metres of B&B - watch out for possible missing tyre covers) Rooms are not soundproof so would recommend to ask for one that is further away from the main building or on the first floor because you never know if you're going to have noisey neighbours. The bed was fine but squeaky which is not so great if you're a light sleeper. The breakfast buffet was the best one offered on our trip around Sicily. We arrived late and left very early so did not get to explore the town very much but would definitely come back and stay again.

Really pleasant stay in a quaint B&B
The location of the B&B was really unexpected as the road does not actually go right to the building, you have to leave your vehicle on the street about 100 yds away and walk in. Finding it in the dark was a bit of a confusing experience. However, the host was extremely hospitable and the breakfasts were great. The room was clean and pleasant but a bit small for 3 people. The washroom was really small, but not unexpected as the price of the room was very reasonable. This is really an out of the way place, but a great location to use as a base to explore the surrounding area from.

Old school room in amazing medieval hill town
Not for everyone.  More like old school Italian accommodations.  Small rooms, very thin walls.  Bed was not so comfortable. It was a double, split down the middle as are most we have encountered in Italy.  However, this bed had a big ridge and valley between the halves, and the two halves kept sliding apart.  B&B very difficult to find the first time, though townspeople were very helpful in locating it for us.  When we arrived there was no one at reception, but came later.  However, beautiful building with wonderful little patios in an amazing little town with twisting narrow medieval streets.  We very much enjoyed our stay here.  Breakfast served in a beautiful little room.  Owner speaks English.  Close to Mount Etna North. We went hiking on the volcano from Piano Provenzano, which was easy to access from here by car.

A good hotel in a quiet old city
This hotel is a good hotel, owner and staff are very friendly, hotel is clean and quiet, services are good. One thing is missing a small cooler or fridge in the room I personally told Valentino the owner and he agreed and promised that he is going to do his best to be sure that small fridge or cooler will be fitted in the rooms.

Great quirky bed and breakfast
This was a very quirky and unique bed and breakfast. The staff were very friendly and the setting was amazing. The village had soul too. Breakfast was basic and limited but adequate and the bread rolls were delicious. Our room was comfy but the shower was poor, the door was broken and there was very little hot water, not enough for two showers. bathroom was often very wet because of broken shower unit. It was also tiny with little room to move. However, we really enjoyed our stay there.
