The Bed and breakfast is within easy access to the Etna volcano. The house has been redone with taste, Virginie the landlady was very knowledgeable and gave good advice, and finally the breakfast is fresh and tasty. Thank you!

As a group of 6 bikers we used Sciaraviva as base for a trip to Torre del Filosofo. It is perfectly placed to take the small road up from Ragalna instead of the much more frequented other roads. We dont like to compete with buses and Motorhomes! What struck us, was the Hospitality of our hosts, the smart interior and... More

This property has the 'perfect' everything - its recent renovations and modern decor is impressive (old features have been preserved but at the same time highlighted by modern touches), cleanest property I've come across in Europe especially with self contained accommodation.

We had 3 wonderful days with our 3 kids and visited the Etna (of course!), Taormina and Castelmola and enjoyed the nice region. The view from Sciaraviva is simple the best! Virginia (the owner - French + English fluent is taking care of all details in order to make you feel at home.

We spent 3 nights during our 15-day holiday in Sicily and it was perfect. After a hot scorching day, you could relax and have some fresh air there. Quiet, elegant spot. Fantastic gourmet dinner. Mario and Virginia were really nice and helpful with everything we needed. Do the etna trekking with Carmelo: he was the best guide ever!!

Dinner is prepared with love and passion. All the food we had were organic and the olive oil they produce is one of the best. I would definitely come... More

This included a small kitchen facility, sufficient for us to cook great meals with... More
