Fabulous. Liliana is a wonderful hostess - attentive and warm, overly generous in her personalized breakfast. The room is comfortable and has a balcony. Liliana also introduced me to the excellent restaurant across the street for an excellent menu and excellent wine and food. Many thanks, Liliana!

Enjoyed our stay
Patrizia was full of information and passion about the city and the area and shared it readily. She even gave us discount vouchers for everything from food in local restaurants to tours of Mt. Etna, which was only a 20 minute ride away. The included breakfasts were filling and always had fresh pastries and local cheeses. Rooms were nice and well maintained and free parking is always a plus. The small village of Nicolosi is a short walk away and there is easy access to very good restaurants, ATMs, etc.

A five star experience
Our best B&B experience in Italy. The hosts were more than helpful in our travels. The establishment was clean and the breakfast was fit for nobility. A great experience. We will recommend it to all our friends going to Mt. Etna.

Stanza all'interno di una casa
Bagno molto stretto adiacente a quello di un'altra stanza dove si è sentito il minimo rumorino per cui vi lascio immaginare...... anche in piena notte...... Colazione quasi imbarazzante.....

B&B mukavassa ja pienessä Nicolosin kylässä
Vieten 5 yötä La Giarassa ja suosittelen paikkaa todella mukavan henkilökunnan ja loistavan sijainnin vuoksi. Huoneet ja muutkin tilat olivat siistejä. Ainoan pienen pienen miinuksen annan isona miehenä ahtaasta suihkusta, mutta suurinta osaahan se ei todennäköisesti haittaa.

El ambiente en general dentro del hotel muy muy acogedor. Quienes lo llevan, si así lo deseas, te informan con todo detalle sobre que ver por los alrededores y donde pasar el tipo de día que quieras: relajante, innovador, monumental...

la giarra, on s'y sent un peu comme chez soi
Avons séjourné 4 nuits à nicolosi Une bonne base pour visiter l'Etna et le littoral de Catane à Taormina L'accueil de Patrizia et de sa tante est très agréable Patrizia donne des conseils pour les visites et des adresses pour les restaurants Le petit déjeuner est copieux et notamment les croissants fourrés à la pistache sont une belle découverte gustative Un bémol sur cet établissement : la douche est un peu exiguë

Fantastiskt bemötande
2014juli Vi blev väldigt fint bemötta på La Giara. Blev bjudna på fika o liten pratstund om hur man bäst ser Etna. Väldigt familjärt ställe. Patricia som äger stället är mycket tillmötesgående och bjuder till så man får en fin vistelse.Trevlig stad med restauranger o glasställen. Enkelt att ta sig till Etna. Frukosten den absolut bästa under vår Sicilien resa.

Das perfekte Hotel für den Trip zum Ätna
Wenn man von den nervenaufreibenden Straßenverhältnissen um Catania absieht, ist es das Perfekte Quartier. So herzlich wie von den Damen des Hause sind wir bisher nirgends aufgenommen worden. Zum Frühstück gab es Kostproben landetypischer Spezialitäten.

doskonała baza do wypadu na Etnę
Ciekawe stylowe wnętrza, darmowy parking, doskonałe śniadanie, bardzo pomocni i mili właściciele. Jedyny minus - cena za pokój inna (wyższa o 5 EUR) niż to wynikało z rezerwacji.

Schöne Pension mit einer perfekten Gastgeberin
Waren eine Woch vor Ort. Es war sehr schön. Die Gastgeberin hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben und stand und mir Rat und Tat zur Seite. Sie hat uns viele tolle Tipps gegeben. Das Frühstück war großartig. Das Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich und das Haus ist perfekt für Ausflüge zum Ätna. Vielen Dank noch einmal an die Gastgeberin für eine tolle Zeit.
