Villa Chiarenza Maison d'Hรดtes was a stunning century old pensione with antique decor, beautiful artwork, and amazing views. We loved the owners who were extremely welcoming and helpful. Even though they donโt speak English, we were able to get by on our limited Italian and Spanish. The homemade breakfast changed daily, and was freshly made from local ingredients.
We had a double room with two twin beds and a queen. It was nicely decorated with some Italian treasures and paintings. It was ideal for our family of three, including a 4 year old.
The hotel is closed to many attractions. We wished we could stay there longer.
This B&B is truly so special, one of a kind. It's run by the sweetest/kindest older couple named Agata and Salvatore, who feel like the Sicilian grandparents you always wished you'd had. The estate is uniquely decorated with stylish antiques from top to bottom, truly awe-inspiring. Each room feels like a victorian dream, with no detail too small. The outdoor terrace which they serve you breakfast from is idyllic, with a view of Mt. Etna in the background. The pictures do this place no justice, you'll have to see it in person. Enjoy!

The property is a 250 year old family home filled with fine furniture and art work.
The guest rooms could use some updating for comfort.
The hotel is located outside the tourist area but access is difficult due to the confusion of taking a wrong turn and getting back into the tollway (not much around the neighborhood and not an easy walk to the closest beach โ pretty dirty and rocky). The owners/host are very nice but do not speak English. The room we were assigned was plenty big, with a comfortable bed and a balcony with a view of Mt Etna. Communication was fine due to my โpoor Italianโ and their daughter answers the Whatsapp messages. The breakfast is plentiful but has unusual choices (this may be due to it being prepared fresh each morning and ready for each table). Examples of the breakfast items include: bruschetti with tomato, zucchini, and/or prosciutto, orange juice, fruit cocktail or fresh fruit, bread, and croissants, cookies, or cake. I did request and they made scramble eggs for me as I am not used to eating cold vegetables or fruit/croissants/cake in the morning. Parking is tight and difficult, as the gate is hard to open and close (not to mention outside traffic and people parking opposite to the gate!). Very nice hospitality in spite of location.
Salvatore and Agatha were extremely welcoming and generous hosts. Villa Chiarenza felt like stepping into a family home, and the property was beautifully well kept with a serene garden/terrace. Extremely comfortable and well appointed rooms and breakfast exceeded expectations. One of our group members has celiac and the hosts were extremely accommodating in providing gluten free options at breakfast, they went above and beyond. Will stay here again in the future, we had a lovely stay!
The hosts Salvatore and Agatha are the sweetest ever. Their villa is beautyful with great view of mt Etna. Breakfast was a feast, delicious and more than enough. I recommend everyone to stay here if in the vicinity.
This villa is like a museum โ there is art in every room and you find something new every day. The hosts, Agatha and Salvatore, were very sweet and lovely people. They make delicious breakfast every morning and make you feel like you're at home. The garden area is perfect for winding down and watching lizards chasing each other. The view of Mt. Etna is absolutely gorgeous! It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the beaches/restaurants/bus stops and a 20 minute drive to Taormina. There is parking in the villa.
Such a pleasant experience. The owners are so attentive and nice. Breakfast was delicious, and the views of Mt Etna was awesome from the backyard. Recommend it.
We loved our stay here. Our hosts were marvelous. Friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and we had a nice terrace which we used a lot - viewing Mt Etna. And having our antipasto before going out for dinner. Salvatore and his wife were excellent t hosts and made us very interesting g and nourishing g. Real fast each morning - with the best coffee.
Stayed at the villa for 9 nights in a premium double room with large terrace with wonderful views of mount Etna. A very relaxing experience with a wonderful traditional breakfast each morning.
Room very comfortable with plenty of storage . Good shower and air conditioning.
Good location- easy access from motorway; 20 minute walk to nearest beach at Gardini- Naxos and a 15 drive to centre of Taormina.
Will definitely use again
Viilla Chiarenza is charming, eccentric and wonderful.
The rooms are large and elegant and a bit old-fashioned. You sacrifice a bit of efficiency (e.g. a modern mirror) for elegance and charm.
The out door spaces are delightful. Nothing nicer than breakfast on the patio. And it was a sumptuous breakfast, which included fresh fruit, eggs, cheese and croissants! Coffee was made to order, seconds permitted.
It's a bit great place from which to explore the area.
The hotel is a private property own by a super nice old Italian couple. They don't really speak English but they try their very best. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with air conditioning, very cute and clean. you can easily spend the whole day in the garden relaxing. The most amazing part of this hotel is, nothing is in a rush. We are not morning people, so we woke up around 11 o'clock and thinking we missed the breakfast for sure. After we finish getting ready, it is already noon. We walked downstairs and the maid told us "breakfast!" So we have breakfast at noon for our whole stay and nobody ever rush us. The breakfast is homemade, the Sicilian style grilled vegetables and fresh squeezed juice are amazing. The owner even gave us Australian roast beef for "breakfast", best I have ever had. There are about 5 parking spaces inside the property. The place is so enjoyable, we even prolonged one more day. One day, the owner helped us to get a taxi to our friend's wedding in Taormina, without us asking, he talked to the driver and helped us get a good fixed price. I highly recommend this place for couple or family.

Agatha and Salvatore were so helpful and welcoming. Their home is absolutely magnificent .rooms had balcony with view of Mt. Etna,quiet,peaceful . Everything was spotless. The beds beautiful .the breakfast was the best we had on our whole 17 day trip. Close to the beach. Wish we could of stayed longer. Would definetly come back. Fabulous.
Loved both our hosts, new there would be a communication problem, but that was half the fun. The property is stunning, breakfast and wifi were great and our room would of had a fabulous view of Mt Etna if the weather had been better. Loved our stay.
Fantastic b&b. The hosts are very welcoming and ensure that you have a wonderful stay. The rooms are spotless, very comfortable and authentic to the period of the building. Breakfast is incredible and whilst located near the autostrada it's quite quiet. Would definitely stay here again
