A lovely hotel, when renovation is done it will be amazing. The staff we met were incredibly kind and helpful, and above all very professional. It felt very luxurious.

Jenny was a great host, she was very accommodating and gave us a lot of useful information and food recommendations.
The room was very clean and the whole b&b is very cozy!
This town has so much charm and everyone here is so lovely.
This town has so much charm and everyone here is so lovely. We enjoyed going on a long walk around the neighborhood, and at night the whole town comes alive in the Piazza. These folks know how to have fun!

Anyone staying in Nicolosi for a holiday needs their own...
Anyone staying in Nicolosi for a holiday needs their own transport. Sicily is not like Malta and doesn't have a good public bus service, sadly.
Also you need to be a very confident driver if you are considering hiring a car there. It's every man/woman for himself.
The only other way to get around is by booking tours, which do seem to be plentiful.
Plenty of good places in Nicolosi to eat and well stocked supermarkets.
My only criticism really is the amount or rubbish left on the road sides, which seems such a shame for such a beautiful civilised place and is something that local councils really need to address.

Very scenic and a quaint village.
Very scenic and a quaint village. You will need own transportation to be more free to go where you want. They have rosticcierie for lunch and food is lovely.
For pizza, particularly if you have intolerances, order from Punto ICS - excellent and does delivery.
We also ate at La Baita di Rosemary, prices are affordable and they have a varied menu but isn't ideal for food intolerances, though they do oblige for food for children.

Nicolosi is a vibrant town with lots of delicious restaurants. It is very easy to get to Etna from here, and good travel link to other tourist attractions such as Taormina, Catania, Aci Reale. Comparing to Catania, Nicolosi is much quieter, cleaner and we feel very safe in this town.

Great location for visiting Etna and the region.
Great location for visiting Etna and the region. Unfortunately, constant dogs barking meant that we couldn't use place to relax in-between excursions. Host has 7 dogs and most neighbours do too, we took are dog, but he is trained. Host was nice, English not so good but neither is my Italian so not really an issue. Patio of place was full of ash on our arrival, which could have been swept up in 2 mins and avoided being walked inside. I don't know if it is mentioned in the description the amount of dogs the owner has, but if somebody has a fear of dogs or small children who are a bit dog wary, this is not the place for you. You do not come into contact with them but you are well aware of their presence.

Tourist town. I regret we had stayed there.
Tourist town. I regret we had stayed there. Was hard to find an honest and authentic place to eat. Lost of repelling restaurants.
Luckily we were recomended by our host to eat at Scorzonera and it was worth it.
The hotel is a beautiful one and the staff is amazing. If you are there on a Saturday, it is a must that you stay for the weekly dinner dance they hold. The food was great but at this dinner dance and also during breakfast. Everything was fresh. The bed was very comfortable and our room was great. The location, just underneath the Etna, is ouststanding.
The property’s location couldn’t be better. Just a few minutes walk from the main square and the typical Sicilian restaurants in the neighborhood. It’s very welcoming and cosy! Agata, the host was very kind and approachable and readily available to answer any queries we had! Will definitely be the place to stay at, when in Nicolosi!
The host was very warm and helpful. The kitchen was entirely at our disposal including what was in the fridge which is a nice plus when you arrive late and tired from your etna trip. Great location at only 25 min drive to Etna Sud. The breakbeat was nice. The beds are comfortable. The room was spacey with a nice bathroom.
As is very evident, the hotel is situated on Mt. Etna. The views of Sicily are breathtaking and the rooms are very nice. For breakfast, they have a whole selection of pastries in the cafeteria, which doesn't serve only the hotel. That makes it very nice because there is a wide selection. There is also ample parking.
Our host was really nice. We had a battery issue with our car and she helped us with her husband and a neighbour. They saved the day !!
She also gave us free coupons to eat at the Etna !
The room was nice and clean. The breakfast was homemade and generous. Really a perfect location to stay before the Etna !
Great hostess Angela, she offers plenty of possibilites for the trips, restaurants etc. She is very friendly and talkative.
Breakfast served in the house with other guests, very delicious. Parking inside the hotel areal (behind the fence). Not far from Etna, approximately 15-20min by car.
Nicolosi is ideally located as a jumping off point for a trip to Etna, and the village itself features a fair amount of restaurants etcetera. La Grotta offers great value, impeccably clean rooms and a great expansive breakfast. The staff was very friendly and accomodating!
Exceptionally new, modern, clean apartment. Very nicely decorated and equipped with full modern kitchen, washer. Good dining and great coffee bar around the corner - papaveri e papere. Conveniently located 20 min drive up the mountain to Etna base lifts, etc.
The hotel is cosy, the rooms are beautiful and very clean. The location is ideal for Etna Park, hiking, visiting Catania, shopping, and eating out. Most importantly, the staff is fantastic, extremely helpful and very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Breakfast was good but would prefer English breakfast.The room was very clean and they changed the towels ever 2 days and was surprised because they changed the linen in the middle of our stay. Not many hotels do it. I would recommend this B&B.
Close to the town centre and within reach of the coast, the apartment also has the bonus of also being close to Mt Etna and Nicolosi Parkrun.
Gio provided supplies for breakfast, fruit and a great cake freshly cooked! Great!
Very nice, small boutique hotel, nice rooms, extremely clean, very comfortable, free parking, very friendly and always helpful staff, good price-quality ratio, absolutely everything you need for a short tour of Sicily...
We really liked the place, very cosy, clean, nice breakfast, location very convenient if you go to visit Etna. Also Nicolosi, place itself was nice and clean. Host was very welcoming. Would love to come back!
it was a perfect break. the hotel was in an ideal location. in the vicinity of several restaurants. the cleanliness of the hotel was amazing. the staff were very helpful and we will surely be back.
Location is right there at the bottom of mount Etna where you take the cable car. Restaurant is also nice. A good place to stay if you look to do Etna adventure
