An outstanding location with Etna in view. Peaceful and comforatble accommodation. Small but very hard working group of staff Only 'downside' is its remote location. No taxi service and although the hotel will often offer complimentary lifts to local restauarants, vineyeards etc, at times they do not have capacity.

Luckily, we had a GPS, simce the turns are quick and the roads are rugged on the way there. But the stay is so well worth it. Room had totally private terrace, spa has a lovely set up with a shaved ice machine to cool down between treatments and the food is very special. Breakfast has so many artistically laid out, quality and healthy choices. Allesandro is an informed and delightful presence in the dining room and poolside eating areas. Grounds are impeccably maintained. Art surrounds you. Staff were all very gracious. Restful surroundings -

Thank you to mario, paulu and all the team. Our experince was fantastic thanks to the super friendly staff that went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. Our favorite memories are the champagne breakfasts overlooking mount etna, sipping cocktails by the pool, the romantic spa couples treatments and the fabulous food at the restaurant. We will come again!

Staff were helpful and friendly. First class service

We stayed at Villa Neri for our babymoon. The hotel is fantastic - huge comfy beds, nice spa, and (for the one day of sunshine!) a great outdoor pool area. The staff are all extremely helpful.

Peaceful, stylish oasis near vineyards and away from the crowds of Taormina and Syracuse, which are easy day trips from here. Gourmet restaurant and relaxing pool/spa.

Villa Neri & Spa is a beautiful small hotel. The staff is extremely kind. The breakfast was very delicious every morning. 100% recommendatory rate!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights following our beach vacation in Taormina. It is a perfect place to unwind if you want to break up the drive back to Catania airport. I have to admit I was very curious as to how a hotel in such a remote location can possibly justify a 5* rating. The answer has to be the gorgeous, beautifully decorated, and massive rooms (our balcony had a direct view onto Mount Etna), the spa (which is free), and the excellent breakfast. Outside, the salt water pool is an added plus. The service was okay – typical Sicilian standoffish–ness. The hotel also seems to be very popular with British tourists. Do not go to this hotel if you are not prepared to relax and read a book all day. There is absolutely no entertainment, minus the Michelin-star restaurant which we never visited. TIP: Double-check your hotel bill during check-out. Some joker decided to add an expensive dinner and bottle of wine to my tab.

Beautiful room and pool area. Breakfast was delicious and restaurant is very good. The free spa area with steam, sauna and a hydro jet pool was a plus. You will need a car. Great for three days to explore Mt. Aetna and Taormina. Rooms would be perfect with a curtain between shower and bedroom and switching silly grand sink for two individual sinks; leaving much needed space for toilet kits, etc. A fitness center would be welcomed as well a walking map to guide you on morning walks in the lovely country country side Overall these are small constructive criticisms to make this very comfortable boutique hotel a 10. Room 211 was spacious and had a great terrace.

This is a beautiful hotel. It is located in the wine region and about a 30 minute drive to Taormina.

Beautiful hotel to stay whilst you explore the Island. Excellent food and drinks. Lovely clean pool. Room was spotless. Very relaxing. You do need a car if you are staying here for any length of time to get out and explore.

Vila Neri is a beautiful small hotel on the slopes of Mount Etna, smart and modern in feel. Comfortable rooms, excellent service and very peaceful. This was our second stay. It is difficult to find without satnav, on a minor road, a couple of miles North of Linguaglossa.

This spa was a great stop off for our Sicilia road trip. The grounds are lovely with a fantastic view, nearby to a lot of fun vineyards and wineries, and very close to some Etna basecamps. The spa itself is small but clean and really relaxing. Great steam room, great sauna, lovely salt water jet stream spa. Breakfast was plentiful - more like a Nordic breakfast than an Italian one (yes) Staff was very friendly and helpful, although I apparently booked the room for only one person instead of 2 and incurred an additional €35 fee as a result. Which brings me to my only negative... Although really lovely, I wonder at the value for the money here. I think a €200 stay is really a bit extreme, given the amenities.

The pictures do this hotel justice - it is a tranquil oasis set in its own grounds in the lower foothills to the north of Etna. The grounds are perfectly manicured, as is the hotel. The staff were the best I encountered in Sicily for their professionalism and obviously 5-star service. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and spotlessly clean. The unfortunate result of this is that the hotel has something of a soulless fell to it, not helped by the chill-out music playing in the background. Don't get me wrong, if you want tranquility and cleanliness, there is probably no better spot in Sicily. Lovely swimming pool (not heated), immaculate grounds and a good breakfast. Was rather disappointed to be told on arrival that the restaurant was fully booked for the night, so I can't comment on the dinner options, but the hotel recovered well by booking a good restaurant in town and providing a driver free of charge.

Very nice location with views of My Etna. Pool amazing. Room lovely but shower awful. It sprayed water everywhere while trying to adjust the water temperature. Dining prices very expensive. A Simple lunch cost 47 euros. Staff were a bit cold and not overly helpful. Breakfast buffet was excellent.

We loved everything about Villa Neri. We had an amazing suite with an incredible bathroom and two balconies, one of which faced Mount Etna. We also had a truly amazing dinner, and a wonderful massage at the spa. This is a great jumping-off point for tours to Mount Etna, and we give it the highest recommendation possible.

The entire stay was disappointing mainly because of the service provided. definitely not a five stars!

Fabulous attentive staff, amazing location with beautiful views overlooking Mount Etna.

The Villa Neri is not cheap, but it is excellent value. The staff were helpful and friendly , the room excellent and the food and wine very, very good.

The location is very rural, in the Bove Valley north of Etna, a wine growing region, really very remote and has a spectacular back drop of the northern side of Etna the nearest town is Linguaglossa. Located 11 miles from Taormina and only about 15 minutes off the toll road. An ideal location for trekking into the volcanic regions and getting away from everything, the views are great and facilities very good indeed, the spa and restaurant at the hotel are both recommended. The menu offers a four course set meal with local wine (very good) at 45 Euro, A la Carte is more expensive but very good indeed, be warned you actually get 6/7 courses with the extra bits thrown in, top quality stuff. A car is a must have and be warned many of the local roads just cease to exist without warning, a amp is needed as sat nav keeps dropping out, the staff were very helpful and really friendly English being spoken by most. Easy drive to Etna cable car (via toll road) about an hour, the same to the airport, 25 minutes to Taormina (don't drive in Taormina park at the lower cable car is not a driving place!). All in all a lovely setting for a few days break in a very luxurious hotel spa we would certainly return and recommend.
