Donna Carmela Resort and Lodges ★★★★★

"We stayed at Donna Carmela for one night and had a very pleasant experience overall. The hotel is set in a peaceful and quiet surrounding, which adds to its charm and makes it ideal for a relaxing short stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff were courteous, attentive, and highly professional, making us feel genuinely welcome. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, providing everything we needed for a restful night. The only minor drawback was the proximity to the railway line, as trains passing by could occasionally be heard. However, this did not significantly affect our rest, and we still managed to sleep well through the night. Breakfast was enjoyable, offering a mix of buffet items alongside freshly prepared dishes from the menu. We tried the omelette and the poached eggs, both of which were excellent and clearly made with care. Despite the slight noise from nearby trains, our stay was comfortable and enjoyable thanks to the excellent service, quality food, and relaxing atmosphere. We would happily recommend Donna Carmela for a short and pleasant getaway."

Torre Archirafi Resort ★★★

Santantonioresort ★★★★

"Small, friendly hotel. Very ameniable staff, always willing to help and advise. Beautiful setting. Please note that it is a bit further out from Riposto station and a walk from the local restaurants, especially in the heat! I would recommend hiring a car for your stay. We ate in the restaurant one evening and it was excellent; they were very flexible and catered to our dietary needs. Luca was particularly helpful."

Zash Country Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★

"The place is stunning! When you enter the property you start finding out different parts of the hotel that are just beautiful! The restaurant is ESPECTACULAR! The staff was great at all times. Now the not so fun part…. Very noisy, you can hear the footsteps of your neighbors. The mattress is very hard as well as the pillows. The room is very small and minimalist, a lot of light enters de room for those who like a dark room. The shower is very small I don’t know if it was my room’s. The railway is terrible!! The train never stops going by, not even at night. We went to have dinner to other hotels around and they looked very nice too without a railway. For the price I payed I expected more confortness."

B&B Casabella ★★★

"Walk a few short blocks to the harbor and the plaza. Restaurants, bars, and local merchant shopping all within a few minutes. The room is clean and comfortable. Vincenzo is a terific host, and I will book here when I return!"

Le Giare B&B ★★★

"Stayed here for a destination wedding that was about 10 minutes away, VERY clean older B&B. Loved the pictures and antiques. There is no lift and quite a few stairs so carrying bags up was a little bit hard. In a very safe and pituresque neighborhood. Would recommend stay here if you have a car as there are no close taxis or Ubers (they come from Taromina and will charge you). Not sure sure what towns or activities are around (town very quiet) and we only stayed the two nights."

Agriturismo Galea ★★★

"What an incredible place! A true oasis nestled in a lemon grove with stunning views of Mount Etna, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery. This is the perfect spot for families with children, as the staff are incredibly warm, friendly, and make you feel right at home. The food was delicious, and the rooms were excellent—comfortable beds, effective air conditioning, and wonderfully quiet. Waking up each morning to the sight of the lemon orchard was simply breathtaking. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sicily!"

B&B I Mastrazzi Riposto Giarre ★★★

"I really enjoyed my time here, it was exactly what I was looking for. Near the beach, near some good restaurants, and easy to get to the train station for a short trip to Taormina or Catania. Stefania made me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived until the day I left. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided daily too. Breakfast was always great with Stefania's home made cakes amd good coffee. A really pleasant place to stay."

Mar dei Poeti - Luxury Suites ★★★★

"We had a wonderful experience during our stay here. The location is fantastic, with stunning sea views and a view of Mount Etna from the breakfast terrace. Breakfast itself was a highlight—beautifully prepared with fresh local ingredients and something new each day. Our room was very clean and spacious, with both a balcony and a private back terrace, perfect for relaxing. Nino is a professional, welcoming host and a great communicator. He made us feel completely at home and entertained us with amazing stories from his global experiences. A special mention to Christina, who greeted us daily with a warm, charming smile and was always attentive. She truly went above and beyond—a credit to the holiday experience and someone who makes a real difference to your stay. Highly recommended—thank you Nino and Christina for a truly memorable stay!"
