I had high hopes for this hotel unfortunately they were not realized. It was advertised as a room with a view of Mt Etna and we were even charged additional for this non existent view. The only view of Mt Erna from this property is way over in the corner of the courtyard and just the bare tops are visible. The other main issue other than it not having a view is that it does not have a functioning pool. The pool does not have a filtration system so the water is green in color and most likely dangerous to swim in. Beyond these 2 things, the old house and grounds are pretty. We had dinner one evening which was fairly over priced for what you got. The pasta was good and the steak was mediocre. Sadly I can not recommend this hotel.

Boom boom shake the room

We had a fantastic 3 day stay at Bosco. A very comfortable family room with lovely views front and back and a wonderful pool to cool down in. Breakfast was included and bountiful with many homemade cakes to chose from. We decided to visit Mt Etna and were informed by the owners that we could claim a free lunch at the top. A nice bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to explore the area. Thanks for a great stay. The Catt-Marrisons

Wow

Beautiful clean room on to lovely courtyard - Alicandro was amazing - nothing was too much trouble - checking us in early when she was baking cakes for a wedding, making us the best lunch we’ve had in Sicily, explaining wine (which was amazing) suggesting and making fantastic drinks and letting us have breakfast early when we left early for a trip to etna. We watched etna erupting from the patio and had brilliant meals. No air conditioning but the temperature in the area is much lower than on the coast and totally bearable. Loved it all and hope to come back soon x

Gorgeous property located 30 minutes from the base of mount Etna. The rooms are beautiful and well decorated. Gorgeous views. The food at the restaurant was amazing. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive. We had a lovely time here and only wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Gorgeous property in the forest.

If you are looking for a place where you can get away from the chaos of every day life whilst enjoying some beautiful countryside and some amazing food, then this is the place for you. The location is lovely, the people who work here are also great. Kira the dog is very sweet. They have a nice family room where you can spend your evening reading, or working or playing billiard. The offer dinner, and the food is delicious. The pool is beautiful but we got there a bit late and I had work to do so we didn't actually get to use it. We had a basic room, which is a bit small. Next time I will get the Castagno, which is bigger and more modern. This is not the place for you if you like to 'do something', unless it's take walks in the countryside and just relax.

Loved the staff, the restaurant and the surroundings. Access to Etna was 20 minutes from the property and we loved walking in the Forrest around the hotel. One evening we had an excellent meal in the restaurant, another evening family style pizza meal with the owners and family. A great family feel to the hotel and a lovely secluded place to visit. Quite weather dependent as there is nothing nearby if the sun isn’t shining. Great place to visit for unwinding.
