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 beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. The facilities are modern and of high quality. The room we stayed in was immaculate and the bed very comfortable - we got a good night’s sleep. The hotel is close to the town, and there is a lovely authentic Sicilian restaurant nearby. You can walk up to Monti Rossi from the hotel in about 30 minutes. The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and when our taxi let us down they found a way to fix it so we could enjoy our holiday.
Casa Camilla exceeded my expectations!!
The owner is very hospitable and was always available to answer my questions.
The house is amazing! Beautiful interior and exterior!
The location is very easy to access with a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby.
Majestic rooftop view of Mt Etna and local area!
I highly recommend Casa Camilla if you will be in or near Nicolosi!
Everything was excellent. Perfect location for Etna activities and yet in the centre of Nicolosi close to shops and restaurants. Safe parking, heated room, fast checkin/out, delicious breakfast. But most of all the friendliness, courtesy and attention to details of the hosts, very nice family feeling with high level of professionalism. Highly recommended!
The property is very charming. It’s a 100 year old hotel with the original furnishings in an excellent location (about half way up Mount Etna). The staff and the owner were very nice and accommodating. Dinner was outstanding, the property has an excellent chef. it’s a great value for the money. We highly recommend this property, it’s a gem.
I did like everything in the hotel. An elegant disign of the hotel, friendly stuff members, cosy room, bathroom is shining with cleaness. The most incredible thing is the feeling that we found ourselves in a forest fairy tale. The location is simply excellent, complete unification with nature combined with modern comfort.
Hotel is in beautiful natural surroundings, big pool with comfortable sun beds. Room was cleaned every day, mattress was comfortable. Bathroom has bidet. On request they provided iron with ironing board but without cover. Receptionist Christina and Tunisian lady taking care of breakfast were very nice, polite and helpful.
The Staff at Reception were exceptional. They were friendly, efficient, and offered us something to drink because our room was not quite ready. The room was comfy and clean, good bed and pillows. Our dinner at their restaurant was very good, great service, the best we’ve had in a long time traveling in Sicily.
Very nice location at the base of Etna, quiet neighbourhood, yet very close to Nicolosi center (5 minutes by car).
Distance from Catania: 15-20 minutes by car.
Denise and Michele provided high level customer care, great communication, short response time.
Definitely recommended!
The host family was incredibly kind and welcoming. The house and the gardens surrounding it, we’re private, beautiful and very tranquil. Our breakfast was served outside on the patio, surrounded by the gardens. So lovely. Our favorite housing experience in Sicily.
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.
Nice and perfectly well located hotel near cable car to ETNA.
Friendly staff.
Good breakfast.
We even had a chance to see some eruptions directly from the hotel.
All was great and we will come back again.
Thank you.

We spent a really peaceful stay in this hotel. The place is quiet and everything is well designed. The breakfast is really amazing too. There is a parking in front of the hotel and Etna is only 25 min drive. We definitely recommend this hotel.
Very cozy, clean and spacious. In a perfect location to visit the Etna and not far from Catania Taormina and the seaside. Nice and friendly guests ready to help and give information on the activities to do in the area.
Very kind and welcoming staff. Amazing Sicilian breakfast, rooms were nice and clean and the location for Etna hikes is very good - approximately 30 min by car.
I can highly recommend this B&B!
Hotel on etna very close to cable car station, very friendly personal, good breakfast and restaurant. Car parking for free in front of the building. Perfect place to start etna trekking.
Delicious breakfasts, great owner. Very good location for trips to Mount Etna and Taormina. Great views.
Near the hotel is the Antichi proverbi restaurant. The best food in Sicily.
