Cottages in Puntalazzo

Really beautiful area, authentic farm house, cute/friendly animals and highly knowledgeable and accommodating hosts. They gave us tips on local hikes to do and were easy to talk with. It is evident they are quite enthusiastic about the work they're doing. It was interesting to see how farming in the area functions.

Very nice play. Good views of the region. Sea and volcano. 🌋 Good rooms and lovely swimming pool. Ask for local dinner. Quality of food and receipts are delicious. Wines as well. 🍷 I regret to have dinner just last day and spent time and money in restaurants around (where most of people was almost rude and food not special at all) Thxs to hosts Patrizia e Antonio (and his good chef wife) for their kind and congeniality.

A beautiful agriturismo surrounded by trees right on the border of Parco dell'Etna. Well kept swimming pool area, ample parking, very good breakfast. Room was large, spotlessly clean and with very good wifi. The owner who runs the place is a very kind and helpful lady, helped by her children. Two amazingly cute goats complete the scenery!

The property was in a very rustic building which was a winemaking facility in the early 1800’s! Some rooms had the wine press in it. Great location close to the Etna. Nino was a very kind and welcoming host and we had fantastic local food cooked every evening by his wife. It was wonderful and delicious.

Great host. Made everything in his power to make us confortable. The garden was great for kids. Clean rooms with all that you need for a summer vacation at the beach.

This farm stay is in a very small town. Within walking distance, there is a pizza shop with wine, a fruit and vegetable store, and an ice cream shop. That is it, which was fine with us, but just be aware. Also the driveway/road to the farm stay is very steep and narrow, so also, just be aware. Of all the places we went over our 2 week stay in Sicily, Il Melograno had the BEST cappuccino!

The spirit of an Italian village with both Etna and sea view is indescribable - you should feel it personally. Unbelievable hospitality of old senior Gaetano, which at every minute was joking with us and was so helpful! And imagine, a deep night (2 a.m) leaving house and even so late he prepared for us a kettle of coffee ☕! We had flight ✈️ at 6 am, but Mr.Gaetano came personally to the gate to hug us, shake hands and say farewell..

If you are expecting the amenities of a hotel this is not the place for you. If you can appreciate rustic simplicity and natural surroundings this is the place to disconnect from the chaos of life and appreciate nature and simple pleasures. Walk amongst fruit trees, sit and enjoy a glass of Sicilian wine listening to the birds and marvel that this place has survived the whims of Etna. One of the best parts of our stay was the on- site dinners prepared by the very capable Signora Laura and conversations with both Laura and Giuseppe. Dinners were very abundant in both portions and variety, prepared with products grown on the property. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and bathroom with shower. Definitely would return.

We loved staying in Casa Maria, it was so authentic and the owner family are super kind, lovely and so easy going - it was a true pleasure meeting them. The terrace is fantastic, it offers incredible views over the coast and the mountains - a real gem. The house is spacious, has a lot of rooms, there is also another small balcony from the bedroom looking onto a quiet street. The kitchen has all you need and the bathroom is newly refurbished - it's a pleasure to use it compared to some other experiences we had. There was no ac, but it's easy to keep the house cool by using the window shades and making a draft between the rooms, there is also a fan. Parking is available on a nearby street. This small town is full of character and local people are so friendly. The house is located near a local church and you can often hear the church bells ringing. We had a fantastic time in Casa Maria.

The house has a Sicilian charm, it is quiet and met all our expectations. The view over Etna from the pool is really great.
