Country Houses in Trecastagni

Amazing staff. Marzia and Fabio was really helpful when we were having Trouble with a rental car. The breakfast was excellent, the garden was beautiful and the pool area was extraordinary. Our 2 girls loved the animals - in particular the dog Eddie. We will definitely come back

Beautiful family owned property with a few animals and dogs. Dogs are very well trained and friendly, and animals (horses and a donkey) are in a fenced area. It was a mix of couples and families when we visited. Parking was readily available and free, and Dino (the gentleman who checked us in and showed us around) was very friendly and helpful. We paid a bit extra to have dinner on the properly, cooked/served by the owner (Valentina) and Dino and it was well worth it. Perfect amount of delicious home made food!

As Franco says, this is his 'little bit of paradise'... and it is. His welcome was very warm, the backdrop of Etna spectacular and the breakfast and dinner delicious !!

House made pistachio products are available. The view is amazing.

The villa is cured in great detail, loved the view from the terrace and gorgeous garden! Quiet location Owners very kind and accommodating.

This was a proper rural retreat, quiet, simple and well catered

The property is tidy and located in Giarre which is quite close to Catania. Property has parking and is safe. Restaurant food is very good. All staff are very helpful!

The pool and gardens are fabulous and incredibly beautiful and peaceful! This feels like a corner of paradise! The optional breakfast (10Euro in October 2024), which is served in a large conservatory added to one side of the owner's 1800s home, was cereal, fresh fruit, ham and eggs . It is not a lavish affair but the portion size is generous. The rooms are individual chalets, each in their own secluded area well away from each other on the beautiful organic estate of citrus and olive groves, pomegranate trees and other produce. My two-person cottage had its own large, shaded verandah with sun lounger, table and chairs and a barbequeue. The view through the enormous, mature date palms was gorgeous. Inside the air-conditioned chalet is everything you would need for self catering; a large double bed, well-equipped kitchen area with washing machine and dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave, table and three chairs and a shower room. Outside my chalet, under the shade of the huge date palms, was a lawn with a plastic mini castle for toddlers but also one of many pools containing lilies and wildlife. Toddlers would need supervision, as one would expect on a working farm. The view was gorgeous! Ample shaded parking at chalet and main building/pool. The pool area is stunning! The beautiful pool is large, with steps down into the shallow end (but no handrail for those with poor balance). It is surrounded by terracotta tiled area with sun loungers with their built-in shades for the head that can be swung over. Overlooking the pool is a large loggia with sofas, tables and chairs, a vending machine for cold drinks and a bar - closed in October. The surrounding vegetation is stunning! Mature cactii up to 5m or more tall; wonderful, exotic trees and other flora, incredibly lush and a wildlife haven. With at least one decent restaurant, Paterno is perched on its own hill, with spectacular views in several directions, including of Mount Etna.

The staff of the hotel is very nice and helpful, the hotel itself is nice too, comfortable and the food is good. Parking the car is not a problem because the hotel has it's own parking and is also available in the street next to it. It's the ideal hotel to stay in on a mountain especially in winter time. I definitely recommend it.

Clean rooms, very quiet and in the centre of the village
