Ramo d'Aria In Giarre

This is a funny place because it is a bit in the middle of nowhere. Giarre is not a fancy place and the hotel is on the edge of Giarre. However...the views of Etna and surroundings from the room were wonderful and the service was informal and welcoming (as well as efficient). Parking is on-site and free. Rooms were fine. The pool was big and innovatively put together (you have to go to understand) and the pool area is nicely done and surrounded by green. The food in the restaurant (we ate there 2 evenings) was outstanding. The dishes were explained as if we were in a Michelin-starred restaurant but without the stiffness. And they just looked and tasted Michelin level or higher. It's not like Ortigia or Taormina but if you want a bit more space and time to relax it's a pretty good option. Taormina is less than 30 minutes away if you want to spend time there. And I hope they keep the chef.

My partner and I stayed one night at Ramo D'Aria. The property was recommended to us by a former colleague; however, our expectations were different. Below are the positive and negative points we found. Pros: • Friendliness of the staff: 5/5 • Variety and quality of the sweet and savory breakfast: 5/5 • Design and architecture, both internal and external: 4/5 Cons: • There were signs of damp in the bathroom. • There was only one wastebasket in the room, which was located exclusively in the bathroom. • Limescale in the shower tray. • I had read in reviews that the linens and towels were scented; however, the towels, once wet, smelled bad. • Personally, I don't like the brick shower tray; furthermore, the drain, positioned in the center, was inconvenient. • We were assigned a disabled-accessible room: this affected our comfort, with the toilet being higher than usual and the sink being lower. • Breakfast was excellent, but I wasn't expecting a €5 surcharge for pancakes. Points for improvement: • The pool could be used in winter if it were heated.

A new, modern hotel with beautiful design and comfortable rooms. Minor drawbacks include a small shower stall (even though the bathroom is large) and less-than-comfortable pillows. However, the service is excellent and everyone is willing to help with any questions. On clear days, the rooms overlooking Mount Etna and the pool area offer stunning views. Breakfasts are delicious and hearty.

We had a very pleasant stay. It's quite remote, so a car is essential. The rooms are very clean, but a bit noisy from other guests. Despite staying five nights, we unfortunately couldn't use the restaurant; every evening there was a different reason why we couldn't dine. The breakfast is very tasty. There's a lovely swimming pool.

Lovely location! Chosen for our daughter's baptism. Attentive and hospitable staff, they made this day unforgettable. A special thanks goes to Bruno, always available to accommodate our requests.

A welcoming, elegant and well-kept place, perfect for a dinner with friends or a special occasion. The food is really excellent: delicious dishes, well presented and prepared with fresh ingredients. The staff is attentive, kind and always available, ready to satisfy every request with a smile. A decidedly positive experience!

What a beautiful place — and Bruno, you’re an absolute legend! Thank you for having me and my family. We felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. The pool, the food, the wine, the staff… all amazing. A truly special experience!

A magnificent corner of paradise at the foot of Etna. Superb swimming pool. Quiet and pleasant restaurant. Special mention to all the staff for their kindness.

Enchanting place! It looks like a location out of a postcard. The helpfulness of the staff is superb, but above all professionalism. The food is poetry for the palate. Magical evening. See you next time

Excellent experience, extraordinary staff We stayed at the Ramo d’Aria Boutique Hotel and, despite a small initial unforeseen event that could not be resolved immediately, the staff immediately proved to be kind and attentive. They handled the situation with great professionalism, demonstrating a focus on the customer that made our stay extremely pleasant. The entire team was professional, helpful and always ready to satisfy every request with a smile. A special thanks to the guys at the reception, to the girl who prepared the cocktails for us and to the breakfast ladies: rare dedication and courtesy. We will definitely be back! Luana and Cristina
