Very nice and quiet place to stay! Wonderful views of Etna! \nOur host Maria was very supportive and available.

Wonderful location to visit Etna but I feel overall the property is a little neglected. Breakfast was particularly disappointing and my recommendation to the host is to make it a little more appealing. The host and team are very friendly and welcoming and the property certainly has a lot of charm but I feel the inside of the accommodation needs to be updated and given a little more attention. It felt like other than being cleaned after each visit, not much else is done with it.

Very pleasant house in a park with flowers, trees, and animals; very nice pool and terrace!\nAt the foot of Mount Etna, very close for hikes.\nThe room is a bit basic, but sufficient for a few nights.\nThe owners are very friendly.

A wonderful place, indescribably peaceful and surrounded by greenery and in the shadow of Mount Etna. Great also for families with children, as there is an agricultural farm with cows, horses, and other animals in the same area. Breakfast by the pool is also not common. Directions still need to be worked out, as my GPS didn't work and fortunately a very kind Italian from Piedimonte led us to our luck with his car. It's a shame that you have to drive to the nearest village for dinner and can't be served on foot across the street. However, this has nothing to do with the B&B.

Ideal place for relaxing moments with the family. Strategic location due to its proximity to Mount Etna and the sea.

I don't think I can find the right words to describe it: you have to stay to enjoy the excellence of the place and the invaluable education of the owners.

Beautiful structure immersed in the greenery at the foot of Mount Etna that offers all the services required for a holiday: relaxation, nature, pool, kindness of the owners and discreet proximity to the places to visit.

The structure is well maintained. The pool is very well kept. The staff is kind. The garden is well maintained. Only observation, but not critical, is the breakfast: it could reflect much more the territoriality. Overall positive experience.

You enter a beautiful green oasis with the vegetation typical of this area at the foot of Mount Etna. Both Piedimonte Etneo and Linguaglossa are quickly reachable. Comfortable rooms with furniture suitable for the environment; the TV is missing, probably by choice.

The structure is located in a suggestive context and is immersed in the green of a wonderful park where there are also horses. The place is very quiet, peaceful, and strategic as it is close to several places we wanted to visit, so the movements were very comfortable and short. The landlady was friendly, kind, and very helpful.

The Wisteria is a wonderful location between the sea and Etna, and not far from Taormina and other tourist locations, you are welcomed like family, pampered. The breakfast is varied and excellent, Maria Giovanna is very helpful, accommodating, and kind. I highly recommend The Wisteria and will return.

The B&B is located in a large and beautiful estate surrounded by greenery. We stayed in a room with a view of Mount Etna, spacious and quiet. Breakfast was served by the pool. The owners were courteous and helpful, giving us advice on restaurants and accommodating us with the breakfast time one morning when we had to leave early. Excellent solution for visiting the north side of Etna, good value for money.

carlo

Beautiful place, both for its location and for the care of the surrounding land and lovely rooms, perfect for excursions on Mount Etna yet only 20 minutes from the sea. The management is a bit too detached/formal, almost like a hotel rather than a bed and breakfast. As for breakfast, it is just sufficient regarding local products.
