The host made us feel so welcome and took great pride in showing us around the farm. The stay was a little slice of paradise. Home cooked meals were a highlight.

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 !!

Our best stay in sicily! Francesco is so welcoming and the facilities are great. Large swimming pool, bar, playground. The room was really confortable with the best beds we had in Sicily. Francesco took us for a coffee at 6.00 am on our way to the airport and offerted us some treats as well as fresh fruits to taste. Really welcoming place!

I only wish we could have stayed more days to really relax and be able to eat more of their menus! There is nothing that they did not think of, this really is a little piece of heaven of earth.

This was the BEST breakfast- the BEST dinner- the BEST ambiance and the MOST FRIENDLY and HEARTHFELT WELCOME of our whole week in Sicily!!! Our host Francesco is so attentive, we have travelled a lot but this really is unique. This is love and enjoyment, in everything you see, eat and experience. These people get up in the morning with one mission: to care for you in all ways they can. The location is really close to the airport but you'd never know. No noise or planes and in beautiful nature. The grounds are phenomenal; the pool is wonderful and the welcome is like coming 'home': so 'real' and personal. Not to forget the FOOD !!! Homemeade; pure and delicious and made from the heart . We ate cactus fruit for the first time :) I only wish we could have had more dinners. They care about bringing healthy high quality food to your dinner table. There is a big garden with their own fruit and veggies, They make their own olive oil, tomatosauce , jam,... it is all soooo good. The hosts Francesco and Angela are the best and this really is the place you should stay (more then 1 night!) before you leave the Island. La fattoria is even more beautiful than the pictures and there are not enough words to describe these beautiful people who go out of their way to accomodate their guests! It is also a great place for kids because there is so much to discover- like one big playground. Heaven on earth, for real. THANK YOU so much for making our visit so special, it really changed our view and feel of Sicily. You are BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ❤!

The hotel is a couple of km outside of Paterno, and public transport is not reliable A car is preferred. Taxis are expensive from Catania airport, so it’s advisable to book in advance But Francesca kindly drove us to Paterno from the hotel. Paterno is a quaint town with the castello Normanno sitting atop of the town overlooking the plains of Catania…

Francesco, his wife and staff were excellent. Making sure we were comfortable and fed. The hotel was very “tranquilo” with a pleasant ambience

The location was quite remote, but for us it was perfect! I would totally skip a place in Catania for this lovely fattoria :)

We loved everything! Francesco and Angela were the perfect hosts and made us smile on so many occasions with lovely and thoughtful little surprises. The food was amazing (If you’re a vegan, don’t worry), the pool was very large with a beautiful view of Etna and the room was recently renovated and nicely decorated. Francesco gave us some great information and tips about our next stop on the northern coast of Sicily.

Lovely farm stay and within driving distance of lots of day trips like Etna and Taormina. Great food and fabulous hosts.

There isn’t anything to dislike, it feels like an oasis, especially after two chaotic days in Palermo.

Everything was great, quick, organized, clean, great food, spacious room, and the kindest people ever!

La Fattoria Dei Nonni is a beautiful rustic gem in the foothills of Mount Etna, it's really peaceful, has amazing views in every direction, the pool oasis is perfect for relaxing all day long, the food was absolutely delicious and the owners and staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating!

Nothing I can think of!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at La Fattoria dei Nonni. Angela and Francesca have created a beautiful place of peace and relaxation and are incredible hosts. We loved the delicious, generous breakfasts and evening meals, swimming and relaxing by the pool and admiring the stunning views of Etna. It is a good location for visits to Taormina, the beach and up to Etna.

Having our flight cancelled again so we could stay longer!

We stayed here because we needed a hotel after our flight was cancelled at Catania airport. Francisco was truly amazing, he couldn't do enough for us, greeting us at the gate, drinks, ice creams, fruit all brought by him during astoundingly hot weather. He and Angela made the most incredible meal for us on our first night with some of the best Sicilian food I have ever sampled. They made our stay truly memorable and we can't wait to go back. I cannot stress how amazing our stay was thanks to Francesco and Angela

The meal we ate at the property was outstanding. Be warned - it's huge so don't fill up on bread!

Nothing.

We loved everything. A beautiful combination of staying at a hotel, a B&B and someone’s home - a rustic feeling with professional yet personalised service. We had a beautiful airy room with a view over the countryside, more than enough space for our family of 5. The pool and surrounding area was beautiful with a view to Mt Etna. We were constantly surprised by the generosity and thoughtfulness of our hosts - bringing us little extras to enjoy by the pool - fruit, drinks, ice creams etc. Our kids didn’t want to leave and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed an extra day. Also the best food we’ve had in Sicily, both the generous breakfast and the beautiful dinners (we had dinner twice it was so good). We left feeling very spoiled and relaxed. Thank you Francesco and Angela!

Excellent breakfast. The staff made it feel like home. The location was nice for us, but not everyone would want to be in the hilly countriside.

Absolutely nothing!

The awesome team made us feel welcome like long lost family. They are so generous and kind which is a very rare experience these days. They were always there to help and treated us with lovely fruit platters and drinks. An amazing holiday.

even though the weather didn’t permit us much to do around the property, we still saw the potential when the sun shines And the temps are a little warmer….
