The price was so good that we didnt expect the very pleasant experience that we had. Yes it is a hike to get to and we actually climbed up the old track from the station to the town before we went up to the hotel. It keeps you fit and develops the appetite if you are up to it.The view... More

Treated very well by very nice owners and staff. (Family opporated) Very quaint, older gem of a place. A fair walk to centre due to all the stairs but there is a shuttle bus at the front door for those who don't need to excercise. Restaurant and service was very good. The view of the gulf and Mt. Etna was... More

The best part of this hotel is the view from the restaurant and the rooms. You need a car to stay here. The walk to town is easy down hill, but coming back it is not easy.

A small balcony that provides a wonderful view overlooking Taoromina, the bay, and Etna. Free bus service takes you to the... More

The room was not very clean and the bed falling apart. The shower was so small you almost cannot enter and the shower handle was broken. The first evening there was no hot water at all. The breakfast was very poor and small- No glass was available in the room. Service was ok but nothing particular. More

Villa Greta is up several hundred steep steps from the town. We struggled from the bus station with heavy cases. Apparantly there are buses which pass by the entrance, but only 6 per day. Because of the difficult access it's not feasable to keep popping back to the hotel & this dictates daily activity - you try to keep ascents... More

Had bites on me on the 3rd night which i thought were mosquitos. a few more the 4th night. after the 5th night i had bites from my toes to my neck. Both legas... More
