Cabins in Giarre

Everything went perfectly. Armando's hospitality is outstanding. The breakfast he prepared for us was perfect and entirely homemade. His advice was very helpful for visiting Etna and Taormina. The house is nice and has a beautiful view, especially at sunrise.

Everything! Beautifully landscaped properly with stylish and very comfortable rooms. The restaurant is fantastic for breakfast and other meals. Lovely staff. We enjoyed being close to Taormina, Etna and other attractions.

This is what all travellers wish for - friendly hosts - homely feel - comfortable - easy to communicate - an overall feeling of being welcome. The accommodation was clean and well set out with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owners have set up such a beautifully relaxing environment - it is easy to see that love what they do. We hope to return <3

Perfect little getaway into nature! Host was very kind, we enjoyed our stay very much! Favorite part was winding down at night in the jacuzzi. Lots of places to walk around with our dogs, overall amazing trip (:

This place is awesome. Full disclosure, you are WAY in there - like, on the hillside. The road getting in is super bumpy and hilly, so not for the faint of heart nor for a SmartCar I wouldn't think. We were in a midsize crossover and it struggled a bit. But once you're in, it's awesome. There are just a couple of buildings, with the amazing treehouse as advertised, and we stayed in the smaller, newer building which is basically on its own private property or section of the larger property. 2 bedrooms, one bath, not much else, really. A small table where you can grab a meal together, couch for 2 where the kids sat and decompressed (after their time in the treehouse) while we made one dinner onsite. Which I recommend if you want a glass of wine, because I was not willing to do the drive in - and all of the gates and locks - after a nice glass of Nero D'Avola. So bring provisions with you! We read, and took note of, that gem of advice from other reviewers and it's critical. But actually the supermarket in Nicolosi is awesome (IMPORTANT NOTE: you want to the Supermercati Deco at Via della Quercia, 24/A, 95030 Nicolosi because the other ones that maps suggest are all closed) and convenient, and so that's a quick and reasonably convenient option. But we hiked, toured the lava flows, kids had a blast in the tree house and on the grounds, and we did Mount Etna one day and Aci Castello (recommend!) another day. Great base camp, nice property and building and just what we wanted to do a couple of days of convening with nature. Fun with kids.

Only one word to describe this place: magical!! We chose the house to be mid-point between Catania and Taormina to do some exploring along the Ionian Coast. The wood garden house is located behind a grand palazzo, enclosed by historic stone walls, and surrounded by trees, so you are in your own private paradise. Hosts Elena and Maurizzio welcomed us in person and showed us around. They were so kind and helpful. Downstairs is a full kitchen, large pull-out sofa, and full modern bathroom. The upstairs bedroom is large and comfortable with its own modern bathroom. Outside, we parked our car in the driveway all behind automatic metal doors. All secluded, private, and secure. Behind the house is the main thoroughfare of Corso Italia where you find cafes and restaurants. The house is also within blocks of Piazza Francesco d’Assisi where we found a laundry where we washed our clothes. Perfect. Elena and Maurizzio gave us great dinner recommendations: a delicious dinner at a neighborhood trattoria, and the nearby fishing village of Torre Archirafi and a fantastic seafood restaurant. We are so happy to have found Giardino Carya and to have met such wonderful hosts. We will definitely come back soon.
