“I had a wonderful experience at the Albergo Diffuso Borgo Santa Caterina. I loved everything about this hotel, from room types, customer service, the staff went out of their way to assist us in what we asked. They went above and beyond my expectations and won’t have any hesitation in staying there next time I visit Sicily.”

“Such a lovely place! The Albergue is located in a charming little mountain town with narrow streets and beautiful old buildings—really picturesque. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they had lots of helpful tips for exploring the area. The rooms were clean, warm, and cozy, which was perfect after a day outside. Breakfast was delicious: fresh croissants, bread, cheese, and a great cappuccino to start the day. It seems like they’ve made some improvements recently based on older reviews, and it really shows. For an authentic Sicilian experience, I’d 100% recommend staying here!”

“It is in a beautiful village of Castiglione di Sicilia. The village is located on a hill between the Alcantara Valley and the Etna Park, giving to everyone decide to visit it, nice landscapes and breathtaking views among fruit trees and lava flow. The location of the hotel is good and there is no paking issues. We had a car and we visited other towns and cities and returned to the hotel in the evenings.The hotel is old, clean and cosy. However, the room we stayed in needed a bit of make over. The receptionist Marko and owner of the hotel Valentino both speak good English and were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. All in all I recommend people who are searching for b&b for their holidays near Castiglione di Sicilia.”

“Great value accommodation in a very picturesque and authentic village. The food was very good, rooms are a great size, there is a supermarket in the village. Lots of amazing places to visit nearby. The host Mr Valentino is very helpful and knowledgeable of the local area. There are some superb places to eat in the village if you want to stay local or there are many places to eat within a short drive. Taormina is definitely worth a visit, we had a great day around Isola Bella. Alcantara valley is beautiful. Loads to do around this region of Sicily. Highly recommended!”
