A lovely hotel with great facilities and very nice staff. They have a very good restaurant. We had a wonderful view of Etna from our balcony. After some stressful driving in Sicily we enjoyed two quiet days by the pool.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel, using it as our home base for day trips to Mount Etna and a nearby winery, as well as for leisurely days lounging by the pool. The breathtaking view of Mount Etna, surrounded by lush greenery and citrus trees, created a truly serene atmosphere. Our room was clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.

Amazing location inbetween the ocean and mount etna, on an orange and lemon orchard. The pool area is out of this world and the Michelin starred restaurant incredible. The rooms are beautifully designed and spacious. Breakfast was served on the sunny terrace overlooking the orchards and ocean, we enjoyed the homemade orange marmalade and orange blossom honey!

Giarre is not a great tourist attraction.
Giarre is not a great tourist attraction. However it is a great center for touring East Sicily.
We found it very strange that Sicilians keep to their siesta even in winter. After sunset when it got very dark and a bit cold, we did not feel like going to a restaurant (they open at 6 or 7). So we cooked our dinners. Good for us, bad for them.

Quiet desolate place with nothing to do. Boring.
Quiet desolate place with nothing to do. Boring.
On the other hand, it mightbe idea for anyone looking for a quiet place out of the way to spend a few days doing nothing. Our place had a pool (against separate payment which we found odd as we were never asked to pay elswhere. Pool was open to kids so be aware of this.

Nice base if you would like to visit the Etna.
Nice base if you would like to visit the Etna. Also the coast is not far away and with half an hour with scooter you're in Giardini Naxos (which is also recommended if you like a fishers/seaside town with a nice beach).
We stayed over at Giarre the days after we came from Catania to travel further to Taormina. Giarre itself doesn't have much to offer for tourists, but it's nice to see the more local center with less tourism and less traffic. We stayed at Moni Rooms for two nights which I would recommend to everyone who wants to visit Giarre!
Although Giarre is not the most interesting town on Sicily, from there ( trainstation and parking spots are nearby) you can easily get to Catania, Taormina, Siracusa, airport Catania and the Etna. You have a splendid view on the vulcano from the terrace on the roof of the B&B. The sea is nearby, the beach is nice (2 km walk). Salvatore is a great host. There was Limoncello and delicious cannoli to welcome us. At the breakfast he serves great pistache croissants.
Salvatore is very helpful and also has a good sense of humor !
Everything was excelent and even better than we expect. Host was really nice and kind. Refreshed few times all staff in refrigerator as water, ice tea etc. Also prepared surprice traditional cannoli rolls and offered us Limoncelo from his own until ours was cold enough. Also on breakfast he served us what we choose. Really nice bonus was access to the roof terrace with view on the see and Etna volcano. We can only recommed to others who wants to visit Giarre for good price and perfect service.
This is a superb small hotel, situated in a large orchard at the foot of Mount Etna. The room was fine--minimalist but large enough and with an excellent shower, but the reason to stay here is the outdoors. The pool is extraordinary, large enough for lap swimming and surrounded by comfortable lounge areas--and a terrific bar. And the restaurant is incredible: 2 star food in a 1 star setting (they're building a new restaurant facility on the property. We would return here in a heartbeat.
This place is amazing!!! It took a little bit of driving around to find it (it was raining) but once we drove through the gate you feel like in heaven. Complete oasis. 
Everything was top notch: the rooms, grounds, restaurant but especially the staff. We are definitely coming back! Don’t pass by this place. You have to experience it!!! My husband and I drove through entire Sicily for 12 days, staying in a different hotel every night. This one was the best. 
A very nice hotel just off a main road in Giarre. I was visiting cousins in the area and this hotel was very convenient for them to meet me. A very beautiful restoration of an old farmhouse. Great views of Etna in the distance. The grounds are very park-like and there is plenty of free parking. The dinner restaurant on the hotel property was great. Although there was an additional charge, breakfast was very good and well worth it.
Breakfast was good overall, although there could have been some more hot foods. The homemade yoghurt was really good as were the croissants. We especially liked the help we got from the very friendly staff both before and during our stay. They speak English quite well and that was another bonus. The hotel is comprised of a very old historic and pleasant building and all rooms have their separate entrances onto the common areas.
A great family business. Excellent hospitality. An oasis of calm in a wonderful Sicilian architecture. Breakfast is hearty and very enjoyable in the backyard. The parking lot is large and comfortable. Rooms are big. Never be afraid to ask questions. They're also best to tell you the most local recommendations. You can also get an umbrella in hotel to use on the beach ;)The pool is small but enjoyable.
Enjoyed our stay at Zash, room was beautiful and very modern and unique which is why I booked at Zash. The setting is beautiful with orange orchard surrounding the hotel and our room. Pool is very nice also. Make a point to eat at the restaurant, the food was excellent! The free breakfast is delicious too, no surprise as it is coming out of a michelin star kitchen.
This was the nicest place I stayed in during my two weeks trip around Sicily. The place is so beautiful, modern peaceful and clean. It has everything you need to have a great time.
We had two balconies, sea view, access to washing machine… It’s half an hour drive from many hot spots like Taormina, Giardini di Naxos, Catania etc.
Antonio is a super host. Very responsive and caring. The apartment is very spacious with high ceilings and freshly renovated. Super nice bathroom with big shower and bidet. Absolutely recommendable. Giarre is a perfect spot as a base for tours around Etna, the coastline and crowded Toarmina. I would come here again 👍
Modern & stylish place with an amazing view on Etna surrounded by a beautiful garden full of orange and lime trees. The hotel stuff is really kind and helpful. Very tasty breakfast. Perfect place of you’re looking for a nice boutique hotel in a reasonable distance from Taormina, Etna and Catania.
Everything was perfect: the support from Francesco giving us lots of recommendations, the location (with a really beautiful view of Etna), the facilities (lovely and modern apartment), very confortable and I would definitely choose it again in my next visit to Sicily.
It's a spacious apartment, with nicely equipped kitchen. Location is very good if you land in Catania and want to visit eastern Sicily. It was also nice that there was enough toilet paper, clean towels and also bed sheets. The host was very friendly and caring.
The location is excellent. Very quiet neighbourhood, absolutely safe within a residence called Kallipoli. Still, just a few minutes from the center of Giarre, and very close to the best touristic attractions (Taormina, Etna, etc.)
The host was really friendly and helpful. It was easy to communicate with despite the lack of a common language. Everything was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. So far the best accommodation in Sicily.
Everything was excellent at this hotel. Food and dining was amazing, staff were friendly and excellent and facilities were good, especially the spa and pool!
