Reviews for Polifemo Etna

Review 1：Cetti was really friendly from the beginning of our 2 day stay until the end. Her welcome and delicious breakfast made us feel so comfortable. The room was fantastic with a view of Etna. Decor was soft and an amazing shower. One of the best b n b we stayed in during our week here.

Review 2：The shower head was broken, as well as the thing you make coffee with.

Review 3：The owners are very nice! The breakfast is made by the owner herself and is really very good!

Review 4：The fact that there is no private parking.

Review 5：The hosts are exceptional people! Very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing with freshly baked homemade cakes and biscuits. Best breakfast I have had in Sicily!

Review 6：It was perfect.

Review 7：We had a wonderful stay. Chetina was such a wonderful hostess. The B&B is really cosy and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented! We were very well looked after. I would come back to Nicolossi just to stay here again.

Review 8：Cettina and Orazio were the perfect hosts, they even organised our hike to the summit of Mt Etna. Breakfast was as fresh as it gets, with a selection of homegrown fruits, local cheese and cold meats. A few minutes walk to local restaurants and pizzeria, yet very quiet.

Review 9：Nothing!!! it was fantastic. But one thing to mention: In the hotel there is NO reception. But the owners live near by. When you arrive at the door there is a telefonenumber which you have to call and then they come over in 5 minutes. I think it is recommendable to text them on their mobile (mobile phone is written on booking confirmation) when you arrive in Nicolosi, I suppose they will then wait in front of the door.

Review 10：This is a very cute little hotel which is in very convenient position to the Etna. The rooms where located in an old building with a lot of period features like nice wooden beams on ceiling. The owner Oratio is very friendly and speaks English well. The female staff was fantastic, they loved the children and their breakfast was absolutely brilliant. The room for the breakfast was located in another building a few meters away and was very nicely decorated. .

Review 11：Family loft is quite dark.

Review 12：Very kind hosts who also helped us to rent skis and gave us mountaineering advice. Excellent breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice, good bread and filled croissants, several jams, cheese and cold cuts. Terrace on the roof.

Review 13：We are a family with 2 teenaged children; the "apartment" suited us perfectly but the stairs tto the mezzanine were steep so it wouldn't be ideal for young children.

Review 14：It was a bit difficult to find but if you have a GPS is helps you a lot. But after the first time you will remember the winding small streets.

Review 15：Everything was perfect, the breakfast of good quality and the service of the owner impaccable. The size and comfort of the room was very convenient as well. I wouod definitely stay here at my next stay as well.

Review 16：Perfect break! Excellent staff, Cettina and Orazio went out of their way to accommodate us. Very helpful if you have any questions for excursions and finding you a restaurant, which in this village are abundant! Very good value for money too! Breakfast was perfect! Had a great time, highly recommended.Thank you so much Orazio and Cettina!

Review 17：Unfortunately cooking was just possible with an additional fee.

Review 18：Really nice and cosy. People were really lovely. Location is really close to reach the Etna and the owners give good recommondations for the area.

Review 19：We was really surprised that all pizza places open only from 8:00 PM, so we needed to get to supermarket for smth to eat.

Review 40：Nulla

Review 41：Accoglienza, cordialità, colazione.

Review 42：15 minutes drive to mt etna

Review 43：The very warm friendly welcome we received. Delicious breakfasts. Information given re restaurants and useful large scale map of the town. Very comfortable bed and nice furnishings. Everything in good working order. Lovely terrace to sit out on, Thoughtful hosts keen to meet all our requirements which they did most successfully.

Review 44：We couldn't stay more!

Review 45：Excellent hospitality..beautiful and clean room.. We appreciated the kind and smily people there.. We left with the Best of memories and we promise to visit polifemo again!

Review 46：There could have been a few more cooking implements but we bought a frying pan and made do.

Review 47：We loved it here. The town of Nicolosi is welcoming and friendly, as is the B&B, really a small apartment. Shop at the butcher for some good Scicilan meat and sausages and pick up some fresh vegetables and wine from a barrel, at a friendly vendor and go back to the B&B to cook in the little kitchen. Sit at your inside dining table or on the terrace and enjoy the courtyard privacy and security. Breakfast is abundant and the hosts make you very welcome. The house is ancient but well restored behind locked gates that give you privacy. It is an unassuming but welcoming place to stay and we day tripped to Etna and Siracusa.

Review 48：Nothing

Review 49：Large room with separate access from road. Excellent breakfast including ham, cheese, home-made jams and granite. Close to town centre and easy to find restaurants. The owners are charming and keen to please

Review 50：Everything was great! If we have to write something here.... the chairs outside. They were were quite uncomfortable and hard to sit in longer than 5 mins.

Review 51：What we read in other comments was definitely true. The appartement was excellent and very clean and the hosts Maurizio and Cettina very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really great, 5 jellies, fresh bread and Mortadella/prosciutto juices and Sicilian icecream (Granita)! Nicolosi is a cosy village to stay. Close to Etna and Catania. It's also good for a visit to Taormina and Syracuse if you have your own car (which can be parked right in front of the accomodation). We would recommend Polifemo to everyone and would definitely come back.

Review 52：We enjoyed it to the full we had every thing within reach, restaurants,bars, veg shops,pizzeria's and so on. The owners are exceptionallyfriendly and would go the extra mile to make sure everything is ok,breakfast is plenty full with lots of home made sweets, plenty coffeeand fruit. Would strongly recommend and will visit again.

Review 53：Wonderful little B&B, very quiet, nice atmosphere, fantastic breakfast buffet (all home made), real sicilian feeling (local bar and restaurants), very little tourists in spring, easy access to Mount Etna, very nice rooftop terrace, nice furniture in the rooms (big beds)

Review 54：Owner doesn't live on premises, so hard to reach except by cell phone (and help of a local who happened to be a friend). Hard to find location, unless you have working GPS with you.

Review 55：Close to Mt. Etna. Great breakfast. Close to the most popular local pizza restaurant in town--lots of local life to be a part of there. Inexpensive.

Review 56：Everything was beyond our expectations. The host was very kind and helped us in every way. Her English was not so good, but it didn't matter. We even got a discount rate to see Etna and many good recommendations for eating and shopping places. We highly recommend this place!

Review 57：Proably the best and biggest breakfast in all over Sicily

Review 58：very good breakfast,very nice people,if you go on Etna,stay there you wont be sorry

Review 59：Lovely apartment, with access to sun roof and terrace. Fabulous breakfast and charming friendly hosts.
