    Loved it, but you definitely need a car to get everywhere, as you can't safely walk on the roads nearby

    The resort is situated in beautiful gardens with fantastic pool. The apartment is modern, beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, they gave us recommendations for the local area and looked after us well. The fruit basket upon arrival is a lovely touch. Highly recommend this resort for a peaceful getaway.

    Clean and beautiful apartment, nice pool. Very friendly and helpful staff providing useful tips for restaurants & day trips. A small but nice breakfast is included (coffee, tea, juice, fruit, croissant). The €15 breakfast option is a huge Italian style breakfast which probably lets you skip lunch that day.

    Nothing😉 Everything was excellent at Virdamuri!

    Real Dolce Vita feeling! This is how I could describe the week we spent here. The reception, the view, both towards Etna and Taormina, in the shade of the citrus trees with the fantastic cappuccino created by Andrea, it was simply heavenly. Lella outdid the impossible to prevent and solve any problem that arose, most notably a near Mission Impossible in relation to my daughter's health problem. Even next to the wonderful sights of Sicily, the greatest joy for me is that I got to know these two wonderful people!

    That we had to leave.

    My wife and I enjoyed 12 wonderful days here in February. Virdamuri is set in tranquil grounds full of orange and lemon trees in full view of Mount Etna. Taking breakfast in the garden room, relaxing on the garden patio or swimming in the pool are absolute delights. Our apartment was spacious, clean, modern and very comfortable. Our hosts, Lella and Andrea, were simply magnificent. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went out of their way to make sure that we were able to enjoy the delights of Sicily. We were treated like members of the family and at the end of every day we felt that we were returning to our home. I cannot thank Lella and Andrea enough and I can highly recommend Vidamuri. We were extremely sorry to have to leave. One point is that you will need a car though as it is very nicely off the beaten track, but there is ample private parking on site.

    Everything is excellent at Virdamuri. Our apartment had all the necessities with excellent views. Etna could be seen from our kitchen. A large garden with orange and mandarin trees together with pool surround our apartment. Andrea our host was very welcoming and gave us really good advice on nearby attractions. Every morning we were served with coffee and sweet breakfast.

I hope we’ll be able to come back and enjoy the pool (not only admire it:). Great hospitality! THANK YOU !!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    We started our 2024 in an amazing Place , “Virdamuri “. Warm Welcome by hosting of Lella and Andrea . Lella provided lots of infos during our 5days staying . Very spacious and beautiful Surroundings,with brand whole new apartment with “Etna “view . Can’t ask for even more 😀. Lella speaks very good German and English. Apartment is in a good size for 4 people with 2 separate rooms . Beds are very comfortable and big . Free parking in a location with plenty orange and lemon trees. Free Squeezed orange juice became my two kids first task of the day . My son even spent his 8th birthday over there with surprise cakes , thank you Lella. Easy to reach all the beautiful surroundings , ex : Taormina and Catania but you definitely need to have your own car to stay here . Pool was really clean and still can be used in Jan .

    The location is in a quiet place with an excellent view of Mount Etna. The hosts were very nice and helpful. Andre makes sure everyone has what they need - fantastic service. Coffee, fresh fruit, accurate and helpful tips on where to go and what to see. A large swimming pool and, most importantly, open in November! There is a lot of greenery on the premises - oranges, lemons, olives...

    Brand new and very high standard accommodation, perfectly equipped apartment. Luxurious garden, very landscaped with a very nice pool. We were very pleased with the absolute cleanliness!, which is not a standard in Sicily. We developed a close relationship with the owners which was a great start to our holiday. Already their hospitality upon arrival made a wonderful impression on us. We came to relax and the peace we found was exactly what we needed. Our holiday here was wonderful.

    Location wise was great in terms of location from beach, city to airport however could have done with more text services in the area. Hosts were amazing at making sure we had a great stay regardless of this.

    The stay was peaceful, just what we needed. Very welcoming, beautiful apartment and with fantastic views. Hosts were so wonderful, it was like being apart of their family for a week.

    I was warmly welcomed, to find out that I had the honour to be the first guest of their Virdamuri appartements residentual. Graciëlla mentioned they had been waiting to open, wanting to make it perfect first. Well, perfect it was to me for sure. It was a beautifully decorated and luxurious appartment. Personally I enjoyed the outside most, enjoying the tranquility at the beautifull swimming pool erea with a stunning view over the mountains, Taormina and the sea. Beautifull during the day, even more so at night with all the city lights on the mountain. Next to that, I booked this appartement because of it’s strategical location: Toarmina was 25min., Etna 45 min., Catania airport 35min. by car.
