The staff were amazing. From Bruno at the front desk to the restaurant staff and the cleaning ladies, everyone went above and beyond. They were professional and smiling - and not in a fake way, but true to their warm, Mediterranean culture.
In addition, the exterior design - most notably the pool and the orange and lemon trees - are the main asset.
The restaurant was good, but not great. In particular the dinner menu could use a few more traditional no-frills local dishes. The haute cuisine approach did not fully deliver.
Built in the 16th century, this palatial hotel is set amid exotic plants and citrus fields, on the slopes of the Mount Etna.

A lovely hotel with great facilities and very nice staff. They have a very good restaurant. We had a wonderful view of Etna from our balcony. After some stressful driving in Sicily we enjoyed two quiet days by the pool.

The owner, Salvatore, is a very friendly man, who provided us with excellent breakfasts (granita) and service in general during our stay. I honestly think that there aren't any better options to stay in this region if you would like to experience the classic Sicilian culture. Furthermore, the train station is close to the bed and breakfast, making it ideal to travel between Taormina and Siracusa.

An incredible find in Giarre. What made the place were the super friendly staff who made it felt like we were staying in a family home (and being welcomed into the family). Super friendly, hospitable and generous. Very easy despite the language barrier. Very nice breakfast, pool & terrace too.

Signorina and Mauricio were amazing hosts.
They assisted wherever they could.
They made you feel at home.
They supplied you with breakfast and the coffee machine, juices etc was available 24/7
Giarre is not a great tourist attraction. However it is a great center for touring East Sicily.
We found it very strange that Sicilians keep to their siesta even in winter. After sunset when it got very dark and a bit cold, we did not feel like going to a restaurant (they open at 6 or 7). So we cooked our dinners. Good for us, bad for them.

Quiet desolate place with nothing to do. Boring.
Quiet desolate place with nothing to do. Boring.
On the other hand, it mightbe idea for anyone looking for a quiet place out of the way to spend a few days doing nothing. Our place had a pool (against separate payment which we found odd as we were never asked to pay elswhere. Pool was open to kids so be aware of this.
Everything was excelent and even better than we expect. Host was really nice and kind. Refreshed few times all staff in refrigerator as water, ice tea etc. Also prepared surprice traditional cannoli rolls and offered us Limoncelo from his own until ours was cold enough. Also on breakfast he served us what we choose. Really nice bonus was access to the roof terrace with view on the see and Etna volcano. We can only recommed to others who wants to visit Giarre for good price and perfect service.
This is a superb small hotel, situated in a large orchard at the foot of Mount Etna. The room was fine--minimalist but large enough and with an excellent shower, but the reason to stay here is the outdoors. The pool is extraordinary, large enough for lap swimming and surrounded by comfortable lounge areas--and a terrific bar. And the restaurant is incredible: 2 star food in a 1 star setting (they're building a new restaurant facility on the property. We would return here in a heartbeat.
This place is amazing!!! It took a little bit of driving around to find it (it was raining) but once we drove through the gate you feel like in heaven. Complete oasis. 
Everything was top notch: the rooms, grounds, restaurant but especially the staff. We are definitely coming back! Don’t pass by this place. You have to experience it!!! My husband and I drove through entire Sicily for 12 days, staying in a different hotel every night. This one was the best. 
First we were greeted by our very friendly host. Room was amazing, spacious and very clean. We loved the rustic decoration and easy access to the terrace and amazing views of the nature. We would like to thank the host for the amazing suggestions eating out! Breakfast was great and got us kicking for a whole day visiting Etna. We think this was the nicest stay we had in Sicily and we wish we had booked more days to check the Petralava. Great work
Casa Giulia is located in an accessible and great part of Giarre. The apartment I stayed in was wonderful. It was spacious, comfortable, very clean and was ideal for 1 or 2 people, it even included a washing machine which was great because I stayed for 20 days.
The hosts Jessica and Marco were friendly, lovely to chat to, helpful and nothing was too much of a bother.
Next time I am in Giarre I will definitely return to Casa Giulia.
A very nice hotel just off a main road in Giarre. I was visiting cousins in the area and this hotel was very convenient for them to meet me. A very beautiful restoration of an old farmhouse. Great views of Etna in the distance. The grounds are very park-like and there is plenty of free parking. The dinner restaurant on the hotel property was great. Although there was an additional charge, breakfast was very good and well worth it.
Antonio is a super host. Very responsive and caring. The apartment is very spacious with high ceilings and freshly renovated. Super nice bathroom with big shower and bidet. Absolutely recommendable. Giarre is a perfect spot as a base for tours around Etna, the coastline and crowded Toarmina. I would come here again 👍
Good location at the base of Etna close to Giarre. It’s a lovely rustic farmhouse. The room was very spacious for our family of 4, two singles downstairs and a queen upstairs on the the mezzanine. It’s a relaxing place set amongst orchards of fruit trees. Breakfast was delicious including Lorenzo’s homemade jams.
We had such an amazing time at Virdamuri. Lella und Andrea are wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to create a memorable stay for us. The entire area is brand new and beautifully located. It is a hidden gem. Absolutely outstanding! We look forward to returning when we are back in Sicily:)

It's a spacious apartment, with nicely equipped kitchen. Location is very good if you land in Catania and want to visit eastern Sicily. It was also nice that there was enough toilet paper, clean towels and also bed sheets. The host was very friendly and caring.
The location is excellent. Very quiet neighbourhood, absolutely safe within a residence called Kallipoli. Still, just a few minutes from the center of Giarre, and very close to the best touristic attractions (Taormina, Etna, etc.)
Hands down the best meal we had in Sicily. the F&B staff are amazing. The restaurant deserves 2 Michelin stars. Hotel is pretty. Needs a little touching up here and there but overall it looks like what it is in the photos
The host was really friendly and helpful. It was easy to communicate with despite the lack of a common language. Everything was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. So far the best accommodation in Sicily.
Very beautiful location with great views of Giarre on one side, and mount Etna on the other from the terraces. Very good food options during dinner and welcoming hosts.
