Agriturismo San Leonardello

Beautiful property, great location to Etna, wineries and Taormina.

They are really making an effort to cater to folks wanting a quiet space to relax and enjoy the region. It is a working farm, but the fresh food in the morning is a joy. They also do a set dinner if there are enough guests and it some good honest cooking from the staff and the menu varies daily. Friday and Saturday can be an issue as there is a banquet venue on a neighboring property that can get rather loud, the party house behind the small suites at least try to give warning and control their behaviour. But it's an ideal spot to centre your travels around Catania and the east coast and allows you to relax and destress after a hard day exploring the region.

Beautiful farm with a gorgeous view of Etna and the sea. Surrounded by citrus trees and access to a sparkling swimming pool. We were early in the season and the only guests and Vera and her family looked after us beautifully. We were greeted by their sweet, friendly dog, Lilli who is expecting puppies (!!!) and was the highlight of our visit. She is possibly the nicest dog I’ve ever met. Our room was beautiful, traditional and super clean. We had dinner there one night and it was delicious and they catered for my gluten free needs. I would say though, the village is not walkable in that you need a car as it’s not pedestrian friendly once you leave the farm and it felt difficult to find anywhere to have dinner. But the farm itself was fantastic, relaxing and beautiful. Everyone there was friendly, welcoming and warm. Really recommend.

The pictures significantly misrepresented the accommodation. The living and sleeping areas lacked any separation, and the bathroom was basic. Unfortunately, there were also issues with hot water, forcing me to shower in cold water. Most disappointingly, the pool, a major reason for choosing this place, was unusable due to dirt and cold water. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations.
