Review is for Ristorante Timeo. Views were great but we got there too late to see the sunset…read more Admittedly, I knew the food was going to be subpar relative to how expensive it is. We went for views, not food. However, since it was too dark to see shit, we focused on the food and... well... it was subpar for what we paid. So there's that.

I stayed in Palermo, Cefalù, Agrigento, Ortigia, Taormina, and Catania. Cefalù was our second stop,…read moreand our first time staying at the Artemis Hotel -- it couldn't have been better. Dario showed us just how important an experienced and knowledgeable front man is; he's the face of the hotel and goes above and beyond for guests. His recommendations were excellent. The hotel also offers convenient nearby parking, and with the beach and a grocery store just a few hundred meters away, the location is ideal. We especially enjoyed winding down on the rooftop patio at the end of each day. Saluti

We had a nice and spacious room on the ground floor with a table just outside of our door, where to drink the last beers of the nights and chatting before sleeping. Catania night life is also a very good option especially for 4 girls like us. I do recommend the Globetrotter and this city for a gate away.

We were in Taormina and wanted a restaurant close to our Hotel Bel Soggiorno. The Villa Carlotta…read morewas the perfect location. The hotel interior is very charming and tastefully decorated. We went to the rooftop restaurant. We were greeted by Luigi and given a wonderful table with a view of the Ionic and the full moon. We chose the fish croquettes as our appetizer. They were outstanding, and so delicious. I had the baby lamb chops as my entree, delicious. Our friend chose the pasta with Lamb Ragu which was outstanding. We then chose the desserts, all works of art and so delicious. The wait staff could not be accommodating, my wife wanted a French 75 which they made for her. I am recommending this as a must go restaurant in Taormina.

Came here with a group and everyone really enjoyed their dishes. I had been in Taormina for a few days and was on the hunt for the best cannolo. We went here on our last night and at last, the best cannolo I had on my trip. Highly recommend dinner here.

Antico Borgo Petralia lies beautifully high on 650 m, between the Ionian Sea and the living craters…read moreof Etna. Both present for your eyes while having breakfast, dinner or take a swim in the pool. The great Sicilian nature surrounds you at this family own hotel, just outside the town of Zafferana, a region famous for its honey. You will find a hotel with a touch of country style, where everything is in perfect order, without striving for luxury. As soon as you arrive you are met and welcomed by one of the family members and this is one of the great advantages with a stay here. You are met with openness, respect and at the same time taking care of in a very warm and generous way. You can come here and spend your days relaxing by the pool or as a base for trips up to the top of Etna, down to the beaches of the Mediterranean See or go wherever you like to meet the Etna Land. The rooms are very convenient with the air conditioning working perfectly. Breakfast includes in a rich way everything you expect in a place like Sicily. In the evening dinner is served, very tasteful with again a certain rustic feeling. There is of course no place that suits everyone in taste and preference, but Antico Borgo Petralia covers everything except being a swinging lively and eruptive arena. The last thing though not really true as Etna constantly makes herself present. But no, you don't have to be afraid of lava coming to catch you. Antico Borgo Petralia is built on the side of a rock high over where lava streams, if it should come further than to Valle di Bove, the huge valley above, which historically swallows most of the lava. As a frequent traveller in Sicily I can warmly recommend Antico Borgo Petralia. It is one of the best hotels on the Island, when you prefer to share its richness, beauty and dynamic power.

We had the pleasure of staying here for two nights in September. The location makes up a big part…read moreof my rating; although that shouldn't detract from the mostly clean rooms, comfortable bed, decent service and friendly attitude of reception staff (many of them with good English skills as well) I've given this hotel 5 stars because you won't find better on this island- comparatively it obviously won't match a 5 star hotel in London or Melbourne but for what we were expecting, we were very happy. Since I'm banging this out on a phone I'll do a list: Highlights- - room on top floor has private terrace with chairs and sunbeds - hotel has sun deck with sunbeds right over the water - dinner service was high quality, formal setting (break out the collared shirt!). Absolutely perfect setting for dinner, overlooking the bay/beach and out across the ocean. - we had a shuttle service to and from the hotel on our arrival and departure, to save us lugging bags across from the hydrofoil. Lowlights- - service at bar is a little hit and miss (advertised as 24/7 but staff duck away fairly often to perform other duties which I guess is fairly common for hotels) - air con is a portable unit so won't cool entire room -pay a small fee for beach towel hire
