The view was amazing! The hotel has fast service. We had a little problem in the bathroom, and the receptionist changed one of our rooms in 10 minutes to solve the problem. The room was big and clean. The breakfast was good.

Met all expectations. Very modern and quite high tech compared to most comparable hotels in Sicily.
Featuring a traditional restaurant, Rifugio Sapienza is just 10 metres from the cable car linking to the top of Mount Etna. This property offers a bar, free ski storage, and a shared lounge room.

This spot was chosen for the close access to Etna in the morning. Functional, clean but needs refresh. Breakfast and bar sympa.
The only hotel at an altitude of 2000 metres in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Etna Regional Park, Hotel Corsaro is 300 metres from the cable way and meeting point for excursions to the crater.

The host was very welcoming and gave us useful information on the city and the Etna area. The location is great, 5 minutes walk from the main street, the room is nicely decorated, comfortable, clean and quite.

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 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.
Angela the owner could not be any nicer and loves what she does. And boy does it show. This kind of personal attention is what makes travel a joy to us. The location is perfect for those wishing to visit Etna, and the B&B was a fantastic value. Pool is lovely and kept very clean. Breakfast was highlighted by a homemade pistachio croissant we found close to divine! Even the coffee was first rate. Walking distance to town and great food. Private parking too. Highly recommended!
It was a very well designed and managed hotel with a pizza restaurant that makes the best pizzas ever! Be aware that the pizzas are huge! Although the room we were initially placed was not perfectly soundproofed, the hotel manager was able to move us to a different room with a better location and farther from the noise source which pleased us. The breakfast was also great and one of the best we had in Sicilian hotels.
Quiet and comfortable and clean house four our family (son 7 years). Free parking at 2 metres from house door. Pool accessible any time!
Good starting point to Etna and other places: Taormina, Messina, Siracusa, Catania …
And the host is perfect, very warm welcome! She is replying immediately and is ready to help if you need. Even you live in the host area, you have complete privacy
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!
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.
Etna's paroxysm the days we stayed was a pleasant surprise to say the least. In all honesty its a very good hotel. Breakfast delicious, the spa area a nice extra option if you feel like it, staff attentive + spoke good english(not that common in Italy). Mount Etna very close so a perfect stay if you plan to visit Etna early in the morning.
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.
Wonderful stay in an elegant hotel extremely close to Mt. Etna. The staff was excellent, and the breakfast was very good. We loved the decor and the peaceful atmosphere reminiscent of lodges near nature reserves. It is a great option for people who want to get to Mt. Etna early in the morning.
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!
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!
The house was clean and spatius. The owners are kind and kean to help you in whatever you need. Feels like home.
House is located close to etna and Catania. If you have transportation mean and you want to be outside Catania and near etna, this is a perfect choice.
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.
This place is perfect, it has everything you need, large bathroom, complete kitchen, parking in front of the building, very friendly host, warm welcome, beds sleep really good, very close to Etna sud, Nicolosi is a very cosy village.
From start to finish the staff were lovely, the place itself is clean and tidy and really pretty and the location is amazing. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re coming to Nicolosi. Grazie!
Great stylish hotel on the edge of town. High quality 2 course evening meal for 20€ including water. Lovely wine. Views of Etna. Quiet area. Large swimming pool. Staff very friendly
Hotel was very clean with everything you needed in the room. Perfect location to walk to the cable car and go further up Etna. Stunning views away from Etna when the clouds cleared
