The property is very well maintained, clean, quiet and has everything you need. Parking in the compound, you need a car to go out. The owner was very nice and friendly. She also gave us small gifts and helped us recover some things that we forgot at checkout.

Nothing much.

Absolutely Perfect Stay at Villa Arianna! Our stay at Villa Arianna was an absolute delight from start to finish. Rosalba's warm and welcoming nature ensured that we felt right at home, providing attentive care to our needs throughout our time there. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a sparkling clean apartment that was not only well-maintained but also impressively equipped with everything we could possibly require. The attention to detail within the apartment was remarkable, and it perfectly complemented the overall charm of the beautiful villa grounds. The setting was serene and picturesque, adding to the overall ambiance of our stay. One of the standout features of the location is its perfect positioning. Being only a short 6-minute drive to Acireale center and a convenient 20-minute drive to central Catania, it struck the ideal balance between accessibility and tranquility. Moreover, the proximity to essential shopping amenities within very short distance further added to the convenience of the location. Our experience at Villa Arianna exceeded our expectations in every aspect, and it has undoubtedly set a high standard for our future stays. Should we find ourselves in the vicinity again, revisiting this wonderful haven would be an absolute priority. In conclusion, I highly recommend Villa Arianna for anyone seeking a flawless blend of comfort, convenience, and a hospitable atmosphere. Our heartfelt thanks to Rosalba for ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfect.

Absolutely nothing, it was perfect and I’ve recommended it to all of my friends.

The whole villa area is amazing from the second you go through the main gate. The pool is the perfect location to make the most of the sun and we felt like we were on our own little island because it’s so peaceful there and you can fully relax.

Nothing. We were entirely happy with out stay and just wished that we had booked in for more days than we did.

We cannot compliment Rosalda enough on her lovely home and garden. She and her family have created an oasis of calm and beauty, Do not be put off by the initial entrance to this property. What lies behind the gates will delight and soothe. The garden is a tropical delight, with partial views of Mt Etna in the distance. The infinity pool and it's spa area are both inviting and refreshing, with nearby toilet and shower facilities an extra bonus. The apartment we had was modern, spacious and comfortable and the attention to detail of furnishings and fixtures, second to none. Each room had effective mosquito nets and air conditioning. Rosalda was the perfect host, always on hand to offer discrete help and advice. She even brought us delicious cakes and desserts. We decided to cook our own meals each evening, eating on the pretty terrace which was private and secluded. We grade all the properties we stay in and over a period of 12 years, have only awarded one 5*. Villa Arianna has just made that two.

The property is like an oasis, lovely appartment very modern and clean, big pool with diving board. Each appartment is private and the one we stayed in had a secluded outdoor green space with outdoor kitchen. Our host Rosalba was very helpful and made out stay a pleasure. We would definitely visit again.

Amazing villa nicely decorated with premium quality furnishing and equipment and great amenities such as the swimming pool and a stunning garden! Everything was cautiously cleaned and tidy and Rosalba was there to assist whenever we needed and always smiley and kind, exactly as we expect an excellent host to be! Highly recommended for a quiet stay as it is well located between Catania, Etna and Taormina.

Nothing!

The property was extremely clean, host was friendly and helpful, apartment 1 had an amazing outdoor area with a fully equipped bbq. Anything required for the stay was available, kitchen fully equipped

One word of caution is that nothing is really walkable - the main road isn't pedestrian-friendly so even though the supermarket is near, you do need a car or taxi. But the hosts were incredibly accommodating on this, and taxis are reliable and easy to book.

Villa Arianna was wonderful for our family of five, spread out across three of the units. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and responsive (we loved our local Sicilian treats brought to us as we lounged by the pool!). The pool and facilities were impeccably clean. Staying on-location where hosts also live isn't everyone's preference, but if it suits your group, this is a really wonderful destination.

We liked everything and if you want to stay in this town, we would recommend you staying there

An oasis, superb hostess, spotlessly clean. Nothing was too much trouble, we were made most welcome and the attention was greatly appreciated

There was a little issue with the air con in one of the apartments but the hosts moved very quickly to fix it to the best of their abilities.

The property is beautiful, the pool is probably the nicest I've seen on a personal property like this. The apartments were well equipped and very clean. We were given a lovely welcome, picked up from the station and taken to the supermarket for an initial shop. We received iced coffees and brioches by the pool one morning, very nice touch!

Our absolute best stay during our 2 week visit to Sicily! We stayed in apt 1 with a lovely terrace and fully equipped kitchen. The separate bedroom was super quiet and cool during the hot nights. Everything was brand new. The whole location is lovely and we were so lucky to have the place and pool to ourselves during our stay. Our host made our stay even more special by bringing us cake and some ice cream during the warm summer nights. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We stayed for 5 nights with the kids, and having breakfast in the apartment got a bit dusty and had crumbs on the floor. I would suggest, for longer stays, that after 2-3 days, either the apartment gets a quick cleanup or provide tools for the guests to clean a bit. Same with the garbage. We had to ask for new garbage bags and info on where to drop the trash. The host helped immediately and provided new garbage bags. Some wine glasses would also be nice.

The property is very nice and well-maintained. We stayed in apartment 1 which was perfect for our family, 2 adults, and 2 kids. The apartment was clean. Beds and pillow perfect for a restful sleep. The position of the property is great for visiting the cities and beaches from the east coast, as well as Etna Mountain is within easy reach. There is a shopping center 3 minutes drive from the property.

We are 2 couples travelling together through Italy and stayed here for 2 nights. The accomodation is perfectly located to climb onto the Etna in the morning and chill at the pool in the afternoon and evening. The appartment (combined kitchen and living room, bed room and bath room is brand-new and fulfills higher standards. There is a large pool area on the property with palm trees and olive trees. Especially in the sunset it´s very nice scenery with the Etna in the background. The hosts were very nice and served even homemade cake in the afternoon. In Short: 10 stars, could not be better. Fun fact: The hosts are a mother-daughter duo and they are both unbelievable hot :) (@hosts: hope you read that and it makes you smiling!)
