Peaceful countryside getaway with great views
Nice place to stay if you are travelling near Catania. It is located between Catania and Taormina (both ~30 mins drive), so it was convenient for us to explore both. Limited dining options in the area and we have been told the on-site dinner is only available on Sunday and Monday. For us, we drove to Taormina for dinner which was lovely. The room was clean and in good condition. The extra heater was very useful as the weather was a bit cold. Basic amenities such as room slippers, shampoo, body wash and water are provided. The breakfast was more than enough with wide choice of bread, cheese, ham, eggs and fruits. The dining room had abundance of history as well. Overall the place was very quite and peaceful - we were not bothered by the noise from the roads like the other reviews. However on the night we stayed, the owner of the place had a mini party on the terrace until midnight with music. The building isn’t soundproof so we could hear the drum, the footsteps, etc. But everything went radio silent once it was over.

Super staff!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It felt like we were staying as a guest at someones home. The best part of this stay was the staff. Franchesca was a true pleasure. She made sure our stay was perfect and was always working day and night to make sure everyone was happy. Her mother Giusy was wonderful as well. She ran the breakfast in the mornings and helped out with guests as well. Was a great experience from staying at a regular hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

Great property with very kind and helpful staff. Location perfect for visiting Etna, Taormina and other attractions, close to the very nice beach. Rooms are nice and comfortable, just rooms have a bit thin walls, but overall we would stay here again.

Good Stay
Hotel was simple. We were under the impression that there would be dinner each night, but it's only available on the weekends. The room was very clean and simple. The breakfast was delicious! Fresh, homemade croissants each morning! The only downside was the the dark driveway. Coming back late at night involved unlocking/locking the gate, parking and then walking up to the rooms. It made me a bit nervous (and I'm a NYer) with how dark the property was at night. This was not a dealbreaker, but something to think about.

Clean, great view but not sea view
The place is beautiful and in a beautiful location. The breakfast is good. Unfortunately, our room was right at the entrance so everyone passed back and forth and it was noisy. Also, wi-fi didn't work in the room, only near reception area. And of course sea view is only from the rooms at the top floor of the main building but not any other room. The owner seemed totally indifferent to the fact that our room stated "sea view".

Wonderful location and accommodations.
The owner Maria and the staff Juicy were outstanding. Maria wanted to make sure all of our accommodations were outstanding from the location and the comfort of the room to the meals served, The breakfast was great using local fruit and other products. The view of Mt. Etna was great each day..Highly recommend them.

A Beautiful Stay
Antico Borgo is a charming place to stay, all the staff are very helpful and they put a lot of effort in making their guests' stay as pleasant as possible.The 'Agriturismo' is beautifully located amongst lemon trees at the foot of Mount Etna. The breakfast was delicious as was the dinner served on one of the nights of our stay. Also the neighbouring village, Calatabiano is very charming and worth a visit. Overall a very nice experience and I would definitely recommend if visiting the area.

Lovely setting and location.
Great service with the hotel in touch during the day advising us of the impacts of the G7 summit on the access to Taormina, as well as helping us with information on tours of Mount Etna. Advice on best restaurants to eat at nearby and dietary requirements accommodated well at breakfast time. Orange and lemon groves onsite, it's a lovely setting with onsite parking.

Antico Borgo
We had a wonderful time here. Francesca and her mother Rosa couldn't do enough for us, they were both exceptional. The food that Rosa prepared was typical Sicilian and was absolutely the best I've ever tasted. They were also helpful in planning days out and suggested local places to visit. The hotel is within site of Etna and was only 10 miles or so away, it was erupting and flowing lava when we were there. There are lots of ancient archaeological sites around the area to see. Sicilian drivers are maniacal suicide jockeys, they will overtake you no matter what speed you are doing so you need to give them a wide berth, say 4 miles or so. On the main roads and Autostrada's they don't seen to follow speed limits, it makes you wonder if they think the limit is a minimum speed rather than a maximum speed. The streets are very narrow in most places so you need to be careful id you drive or not as the case may be. The Sicilians don't seem to regard od safety very highly - cross the road at your own peril!
