Reviews for B&B Etna House
Review 1:Nothing
Review 2:Great hospitality from Angela, she is very helpful. Location is great and the room was always clean. Great value for money. We will be back for sure!
Review 3:Leaving. Would have liked to stay a little longer.
Review 4:Everything!! Fantastic value, amazing breakfasts, and a wonderful hostess - Angela.Play area with activities for those with children is also a nice touch.
Review 5:Location is quite far from key locations, but did not mind the drive.
Review 6:I cannot express enough gratitude to the owner of the establishment. He took very good care of us day after day. On top of this, he went out of his way to drive me to the airport (to save hefty taxi costs) and drove my wife and son all the way back to Pozallo to catch the boat. Apart from all this, the place was extremely clean.
Review 7:Our room didn't have a lot of daylight, but since we weren't there during daytime and only slept in the room it didn't matter. There are other rooms though, so if you want to spend a lot of time inside I recommend to specifically ask for a light room when booking.
Review 8:Very nice host, excellent breakfast! The owner Angela gave us a very warm welcome and was exceedingly helpful and friendly throughout the stay. The house is very clean and conveniently situated to visit Etna, Angela gave us discount cards so the ride up Etna was cheaper. There are great places to have dinner nearby. If you visit Etna I can wholeheartedly recommend this B&B, I will definitely stay there again if we revisit Sicily.
Review 9:No - the guest house takes a little bit of finding, but the signs are clear once you reach Nicolosi.
Review 10:Very helpful and enthusiastic, host, Angela - lots of information about the area. Plus a great breakfast.
Review 11:The shower is a little on the small side, but only if you are 2m tall as I am.
Review 12:Very convenient location, fantastically helpful host, lovely rooms, great breakfast. Highly recommended!
Review 13:Nothing at all. It was a pleasure to return to this bnb after 8 hrs, see the expansion that has taken place but also to see that service and friendliness remains a big focus. We hope to return again.
Review 14:Extremely friendly host, amazing breakfast spread with great variety, playground great for kids.
Review 15:The swimming pool is very small. So only for a quick dive to cool you down. Not for spending the afternoon.
Review 16:Angela is running the B&B is a very pleasing and relaxed way. The breakfast is very good and you can ask for everything you like. Very nice is to meet other people around the breakfast table. The location is just perfect for a hike on mount Etna
Review 17:There is nothing to dislike.
Review 18:Great location within walking distance of the town. Angela was a great host, eager to please her guests. Everything was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was excellent.
Review 19:Rien
Review 20:Nous avons beaucoup aimé ce b&b. A 5min pieds du centre de Nicolosi et des commerces et a 18km du rifugio si sapienza. Angela, la propriétaire, est adorable: elle vous conseille et vous offre un super petit déjeuner ( elle vous demande même la cuisson de votre œuf). Piscine très agréable. Grazie Angela!
Review 21:vakarais geriau nevaikscioti po apylinkes, vaziuodami namo sutikom nemaza banda valkataujanciu sunu, nesmagu butu peskom sutikti.
Review 22:Seimininke prase jeigu rasysim atsiliepima, tai rasyti gimtaja kalba:) na pati seimininke tai ultra draugiska, maloni ir silta. Vieta labai puiki stabteleti pries keliaujant i etna. Daugiau cia nieko nera, paprastas sicilietiskas provincijos gyvenimas, taip sakant tikroji patirtis. Parkingas privatus rakinamas, yra baseiniukas, kuri kasdien robotukas valo, pusryciai buvo labai sotus ir skanus, namudiniai. Seimininke patars kur pavalgyti, kaip iki etnoa nusigauti. Angliskai nesneka, bet susibendravom be problemu.
Review 23:Ideali vieta apsistoti norint aplankyti rytine Sicilijos dali. Gyvendami Etna House keleta dienu, pasijauteme tarsi butumem atvyke pas gimines - seimininkai labai vaisingi ir paslaugus.
Review 24:Angela and her husband were so welcoming and nice. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very clean and comfortable also. I would definitely recommend this place to say and will surely return again. a 10/10 for sure!
Review 25:You can have breakfast only once a day :-).
Review 26:The location is very good and the hosts are very welcoming. The garden must be great in season, spring was just a little late this year. Oh yes, and of course breakfast.
Review 27:Angela is the best she will do everything to leave you satisfy not even 5star hotel will do like here for example she went to switch on th ac for us because we were late and it was very cold every day. What about the breakfast she did for six people not for two and a child and the special squeezed orange. Cleanness unbelievable and very comfort bad. She even gave us best information she made everything easy and comfortable for us thanks angela for making our holiday so special sure will come again
Review 28:Everything was absolutely perfect. Breakfast was superb and the facilities were to the top and Angela was really helpful in everything. Surely will visit another time.
Review 29:Had to go home the next day!
Review 30:Very good place to stay. You are made very welcome by Angela who prepare a lovely breakfast. Room was comfortable. Area not far from the center.
Review 31:During the day there are small sign posts that have the hotel name with an arrow, but It was bit difficult to find at night. luckily there were some local girls who actually drove infront of me to show me to the hotel, so if your lost, just ask!
Review 32:I stayed here with my mother during our trip to Etna. We arrived by car, and there was already parking available when we arrived. Angela met us at the gate and right off offered us a drink, showed us out rooms and started explaining a everything we needed to know about visiting Etna and the tours offered. She even got us a deal on the cable cars! In the morning, a big breakfast was prepared with wonderful options. Angela is a funny, wonderful, welcoming, amazing host! I would definitely stay here again!
Review 33:We were sorry that we only stayed one night.
Review 34:During a one-month travelling in Sicily Angela's, Etna B & B was the highlight of accommodations. Easy to find once we arrived in Nicolosi, gorgeous property, immaculate gardens, inviting pool, lounge chairs, private parking, safe. The room we had was a suite straight out of Versailles (Paris), on the second floor with a beautiful view. Angela gave us maps and directions to Etna that day and the next morning we had the best and biggest breakfast during 30 days in Sicily! Literally she said, "tomorrow I make you a bigga breakfast!" We had no idea she meant it. Coplimenti Angela e alla tua familia!
Review 35:The host, Angelica, was extremely friendly and chatty. We felt very welcome and at home immediately upon arrival. Angelica explained all the options for our visit to Etna - the classic cable cart + jeep option, various walking tours of different lengths on the different craters etc. Feel free to choose the option you feel best suits you. The village of Nicolosi is very small and the centre is about a 10 min walk away from the B&B, but again Angelica will enthusiastically explain all the details to you and equip you with a map to guide your way. There are a few dinner options - we recommend the pizzeria, but you may want to share a pizza with two people as these pizzas are indeed huge! Another good idea is to take the leftovers along for next day lunch :) There is also a supermarket very close by. The room we were in was spacious enough and clean, perfect for a stop-over. All rooms have their own entrance and all appliances worked perfectly, including wifi. There were dogs around the area, but we did not hear them at night at all. The breakfast was one of the best for a B&B we have come across on our tour of Sicily. If you like pistachio, make sure to try the pistachio croissant or cornetto.
Review 36:We stayed on the second floor and there wasn't an elevator, so luggage was a bit problematic, but they were willing to bring it up for us, so that was the most minimal problem. The suite was beautifully furnished with many of her own artifacts, so it was charming and well worth the climb up :)
Review 37:Angela and her husband did everything to make us feel welcomed and special. Their place is a charming, set up for children, although ours were older. It was as though they were welcoming us into their own home. They gave us great tips...fortunately, I spoke Italian well and so it was easy for us to get information...her English seemed limited but functional... We lucked out when there was a torch parade on Etna and she recommended we go, which we did, and it was fabulous. Her breakfasts were incredible with organic fruit spreads and home made Italian crossiants, fresh fruit, hardboiled eggs and various cookies of the area...It was a very memorable stay. We were looking for a place near Etna and this was great for the value with respect to what we were given. We were given a discount to Mt Etna tours, which was great as well. Brava Angela :)!!!
Review 38:easy .... nothing to complain/grumble about...We will return.
Review 39:HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. A very nice B&B in Nicolosi, very close to Mount Etna. Angela and Francesco were extremely helpful, and a very nice couple. Breakfast was good, the room we had was very spacious and enough for 3 persons and very clean. The hotel has a pool and parking is also available onsite. WIFI is also available. We will definitely return.
Review 40:Angela, the proprietor, and her family are wonderful and will make you feel very welcome. Our rooms were comfortable, spotless, and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was great as well. Highly recommend and plan to return. Nicolosi is beautiful and a great base from which to explore Mt. Etna. And Etna House is a lovely and reasonably-priced B&B from which to do it.

Review 79:Francesco and Angela were the stars of this experience...what gracious hosts! The room was very comfortable and pleasant and the breakfast with hand squeezed blood oranges and pistachio croissants, delicious but our hosts were so helpful to us in finding our way in the area. Francesco helped us find a special garden we planned to see, called to arrange for our visit and actually led us to this difficult to find location! What a gem he is!! It was a highlight of our Sicilian trip!
Review 80:Angela was a great host and so very frienly and communicative.We felt very welkome!

Never had such a delicious breakfast, think about anything you would like and iT was on the big table...
Review 81:Breakfast was excellent; Angela, the owner, was good-natured, helpful and very proud of her establishment, with good reason. We would recommend the B and B Etna House without reservation; it certainly represents very good value for money.

It is well located for a trip up to Etna and the village is nearby for evening meals.
Review 86:Nothing. You have to have a car. There is no public transport.
Review 87:the owners, francesco and angela, were super kind and their hospitality was overwhelming. Everything was well arranged. Molto grazie per tutti!
Review 88:Анджела была невероятно дружелюбна, она даже подарила нам путеводитель по Этне, подробно рассказала про виды экскурсий на Этну, а также предоставила 20% скидку на малый тур (мы заплатили 47 евро вместо 59!). Расположение крайне удачное для поездки на Этну, близко до центра Николози. Мы невероятно признательны за такой теплый прием! Надеюсь, еще вернемся! Комнаты красиво декорированы, чистота всюду. Сигнал Wi-fi был хороший. В саду есть дартс, теннисный стол и бассейн. Есть также гамак стулья и столы, чтобы было где отдохнуть. Завтрак отличный - сыр, ветчина, яйца, фрукты, черешня, дыня, свежие круассаны с фисташковым кремом были великолепны! Нам понравилось пребывание так, как никогда прежде!
Review 89:Angela is extremely friendly, she presented us a guide book about Etna, explained everything about excursions. She also gave us a 20% discount for Etna-tour. Location is perfect to explore Etna, very close to the center of Nicolosi. We are really grateful! And I wish, we will be back! Rooms are beautifully decorated, rather spacious and clean. Wi-fi connection is good, there are also darts, table tennis and swimming pool- garden is fully equipped for relaxing - there are a hammock, tables and chairs. Breakfast was wonderful - cheese, ham, eggs, a large selection of fruits, melon, cherry, fresh croissants with pistachio cream were marvelous! We enjoyed our stay like never before!
Review 90:Not a lot.
Review 91:The host was a really nice guy.Extremely friendly,puts himself out in every way.Really made too feel welcome.Had a fantastic breakfast every day
Review 92:- very friendly hostess - good location for Etna excursion - I made a booking mistake by making the reservation on the wrong date and wasn't charged for it by the hostess (Angela).
Review 93:The garden tables were not cleaned, maybe because the evenings are too cold to sit outside, but still...
Review 94:Angela was nice, warm and helpful. The rooms are very clean and the location is very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was rich and tasty and we really enjoyed our stay.

Review 96:Angela is extremely welcoming and warm. Her little boy Kevin is very friendly and our daughter was delighted to play with Kevin around the garden. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was copious and varied. We enjoyed our stay. The house is very well located to go to Mount Etna and is from walking distance to the center of Nicolosi for restaurants...

Review 100:Anjela and Fransesco welcomed us with open arms and made the whole visit very warm and friendly. They went out of their way to give us all the information we needed despite our very limited Italian! We booked two rooms and both were totally clean and beautifully furnished. The B&B is close to a charming town and not too far by car from Mount Etna. Breakfast was superb and we'd particularly recommend Angela's amazing strawberries. We will definitely visit again if we are back in the area.
