La Fattoria Dei Nonni

This paradise is run by a lovely couple Angela and Francesco who are very helpful and professional .Francesco is always reacheable and ready to provide an excellent service to his clients. The place is a splendid spot in Paterno , tranquil and helps the mind to relax. The daily breakfast is always a surprise and fresh. The room is clean, comfortable and has all the necessities for a stress free holiday. The place is a safe and kids have ample space where to enjoy fresh air. Its a place where you have to return.

A fantastic holiday for especially families with children. The premises are extemely well kept and the effort in keeping an authentic appearance is clear! You are pampered with genuine products by the hosts from the minutes you step your foot in! Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and all modern amenities...Above all the food served for both breakfast and dinner is superb and really makes the stay special.... we will definitely be back soon

This place is a piece of paradise. Not the first time we stayed there and I can say that consistency is a virtue these people have. It is a typical Agritourism, all rooms, mostly in the form of scattered structures on their vast land, yet all strategically situated within a stone’s throw away from all amenities like the pool and the restaurant. Every structure is surrounded by a plethora of flora. Hence, one can expect a high degree of privacy should one wish to chill outside the assigned room. Rooms are spacious and squeaky clean. Please bear in mind that you would be staying on a farm-like structure, and you would inevitably be paid visits by “unwanted” creatures (especially during the summer time) which you would not find in concrete jungles. A bit of anti-mosquito (or whatever) repellant will do the trick. Nothing that will eat you alive. I strongly suggest that you opt for lunch or dinner or both - depending on the availability and circumstances. “Amazing” doesn’t even begin to describe the quality. Obviously most of the food comes directly from their land…fresh, genuine and abundant. Simplicity is key. And their olive oil…liquid gold. Buy some before you leave…upon availability obviously. You like shopping? Perfect. A 10 minute drive to Etnapolis and a 40 minute drive to Sicilia Outlet Village. You can leave everything in your vehicle since there’s plenty of gated parking. Being an Agritourism run by the owners, Francesco and Angela are the personification of hospitality. Be it the first time you’re visiting or a repeat visitor, they will treat you more like a friend than a client. Always readily available to tend to your needs and always making sure that these are satisfied as best as humanly possible. Just ask. You’d be surprised!! One final comment. If you look the place up on internet, (eg Google Maps or Google Earth) do not be put off by the surroundings. Unfortunately the town this place makes part of is not the best that Sicily can offer (I’ve seen much worse believe me). When you enter the gate to the Fattoria dei Nonni (Resort dell’Etna), you will find yourselves in a completely different world. I have no hesitation in recommending this place.

The room we were given was huge and we loved the views . Out the front we we could see Etna , and the large back balcony had views of the hills and towns beneath us . Our hosts were excellent and so friendly and welcoming ... and they even came and got us on our way up to them as we had relied on sat nav and been stuck due to a flood on the road as it was very wet weather when we arrived. The pool area was lovely and the pool was super clean . We will definitely go back next year for sure .

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage boys) spent 5 nights here in early August 2023 and had a wonderful time. We were affected by the closure of Catania airport due to wild fires so our flight was re-scheduled but Francesco was extremely helpful in organising a taxi to collect us from Comiso airport and bring us direct to the property (in the early hours of the morning). He and Angela are fantastic hosts, very kind and welcoming and thoughtful. The property is in a superb location with a view of Etna from the pool area. The room was clean and comfortable with efficient air conditioning, breakfast was a real feast and we ate dinner there 3 times which was also delicious and very good value. Portions are generous! We also had lunch by the pool. The food is freshly made using locally grown (or home grown) ingredients. The boys loved the pool which is a perfect area for relaxing and fun. Thoroughly recommend this place.

We spent two nights here, and we wished we could have stayed longer.. What a fantastic place, room, pool, food and surroundings were just perfect en every way! But what makes it extra special is the people, first of all Angela and Francesco, very helpful from we booked and during the whole stay! Wow- the friendliness, kindness is really something special. Everyone else working there is also amazing, and we have to mention Luca, a friendly and clever boy serving us breakfast - just perfect :) And that brings us to the food- also amazing, we had dinner there one night, a lot of different dishes, all tasty and perfect. And the breakfast is out of this world- you get a lot of different dishes served, all tasty and perfectly cooked. In our two weeks trip to Sicily this was the highlight, and we really hope to go back one day. Thank you to La fattoria dei nonni for a fantastic and perfect stay!! Grazie Mille to you all ❤️
