9.4/10 Exceptional! (25 reviews)
Maria, Theresa, and Peppe were marvelous hosts. They really put passion into their work and became friends. the collazione is homemade, unlike almost every other B&B that just takes stuff out of boxes and lays it out for you to eat. This is a great location...close enough to walk to Castelbuono without the hassle. I recommend B&B wholeheartedly. (Ad the view is indeed great.)

9.8/10 Exceptional! (11 reviews)
We had a fantastic stay at this B&B. The owners are super friendly and helpful and all facilities are at a good standard and clean. There are a number of parking spaces directly on the premises. They also serve a tremendous breakfast, which we enjoyed on their sunny terrace. We would be very happy to return.

There are many places to park which gets confusing - try to find the official sites which do not charge - biggest parking lot is by the lower entrance

5/5 - Excellent

Ron

You might want to purchase a map. The best time to visit seems to be late in the day before dusk.

3/5 - Okay

Barbara

Nice ruins but unless you are really into ruins, I would skip. As other reviewers said, no trees so very hot (we went early in the morning) and the signage on each ruins was kind of dated. Just ok.

5/5 - Excellent

Carolyn

Do the night tour.  It was cooler and quieter.
