Guests love it because: swimming pool, spectacular view, abundant breakfast, charming property, the design of the property, near the station, near the airport, very new, cheap, at the seaside.

Nestled in a lush organic citrus grove at the foot of Mount Etna, in the heart of Sicily's Ionian coast, Agriturismo Galea is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic Sicilian experience, where nature, tradition and warm hospitality come together in an atmosphere of complete relaxation.

Ideally located just a few minutes from the sea and within easy reach of Taormina, Catania, Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna Regional Park, our agriturismo is the perfect base from which to explore the wonders of eastern Sicily, combining unforgettable excursions with peaceful moments surrounded by nature.

Our 11 guest rooms, created through the careful restoration of traditional rural buildings, preserve the charm of Sicilian country architecture while offering every modern comfort, including a private entrance, en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, satellite TV, mini fridge and daily housekeeping.

Reserved exclusively for our guests, the panoramic swimming pool is surrounded by fragrant citrus trees and provides the ideal place to unwind after a day exploring Mount Etna or the beautiful beaches of the Ionian coast. During the day, our poolside bar serves light snacks, refreshing drinks and delicious brunch options.

One of the highlights of Agriturismo Galea is undoubtedly its restaurant, housed in a beautifully restored former lava-stone stable. Each evening, guests can enjoy the authentic flavours of Sicilian cuisine, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and produce from our own farm, including organic citrus fruits, homemade jams, extra virgin olive oil and honey, all perfectly complemented by a carefully selected range of Etna wines.

Every morning, a generous continental breakfast awaits, featuring homemade cakes, seasonal fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juices made from our own organic oranges and lemons, local cheeses and cured meats, eggs, yogurt, cereals and a variety of traditional Sicilian specialties.

For guests wishing to discover the region in a truly immersive way, we offer a wide range of experiences that can be booked directly through our reception, including guided excursions on Mount Etna, visits to the Alcantara Gorges, Etna wine tastings, Sicilian cooking classes, e-bike tours, horseback riding, boat excursions along the Cyclops Riviera and private transfer services.

Agriturismo Galea is the ideal choice for couples, families and travellers looking for an authentic Sicilian holiday, away from the crowds yet close to the island's most iconic attractions. Here, time slows down, the scent of citrus blossoms fills the air, and genuine Sicilian hospitality transforms every stay into an unforgettable experience.

The English-style breakfast is served buffet-style from 08:00 to 10:00 and includes: fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juices from our organic citrus trees, homemade pastries and cookies, cured meats, cheeses, fried eggs with bacon, fresh bread, homemade organic jams, cereals and yogurt.

Very noisy due to extremely poorly soundproofed rooms. The rooms look outdated and could use an update. The shower is small. The host is very friendly and willing to look for solutions.

We had a fantastic stay. We would come back at any time. The location is perfect for trips to Mount Etna, but also close to the center of Riposto. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, the restaurant was delicious and offered a great selection, the rooms and the bathroom are large and clean. The whole property was well maintained and had numerous options for entertaining adults and children. We cannot wait to come back someday!

Beautiful accommodation amid lemon trees. We felt very comfortable! The rooms are simple but clean. There is a bit of everything at breakfast; sometimes it could be replenished a little more quickly. The pool area is very nice; there is a small bar with drinks and snacks. It is well located for trips to Mount Etna.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Ospite, La ringraziamo di cuore per aver condiviso la Sua esperienza. Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato l'atmosfera della nostra struttura immersa tra i limoneti e che si sia sentito a proprio agio durante il soggiorno. Ci fa piacere sapere che ha trovato le camere pulite, la zona piscina piacevole e la posizione comoda per le escursioni sull'Etna. La Sua osservazione riguardo al rifornimento dei prodotti della colazione è molto apprezzata: terremo conto del suggerimento per migliorare ulteriormente il servizio e garantire una maggiore tempestività nel reintegro del buffet. Speriamo di avere il piacere di accoglierLa nuovamente in futuro per un'altra piacevole esperienza. Cordiali saluti, Lo Staff di Agriturismo Galea

A great, well-maintained property. Very friendly staff. A beautiful pool with a perfect view of Mount Etna. Good base for various excursions. Good amenities with a pool bar, restaurant, table tennis, foosball and bicycles. A few suggestions for improvement: the pool cleaning could be more frequent. At the end of our stay there were many hairs, leaves and insects in the water on several days. At breakfast more variety would be desirable, for example different cakes, not the same every day, or different types of cold cuts. There is a bit of everything, but it is the same every day. After several days this becomes a bit boring. There should be a warning about the free-roaming dogs among the trees.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Ospite, la ringraziamo sinceramente per aver dedicato del tempo a condividere la sua esperienza presso la nostra struttura. Siamo molto felici che abbia apprezzato la bellezza e la cura della proprietà, la vista sull’Etna, i servizi offerti e la gentilezza del nostro staff. Sapere che il nostro agriturismo sia stato una buona base per le sue escursioni ci rende particolarmente orgogliosi. La ringraziamo inoltre per i suoi preziosi suggerimenti. I commenti dei nostri ospiti sono per noi molto importanti e ci aiutano a migliorare costantemente. Ci impegneremo a prestare ancora maggiore attenzione alla pulizia della piscina e a valutare possibili miglioramenti per rendere la colazione più varia e piacevole durante soggiorni più lunghi. Ci scusiamo inoltre per il disagio causato dai cani presenti nella proprietà. Sono animali molto docili e abituati alla presenza degli ospiti, ma comprendiamo che la loro presenza possa risultare inaspettata per alcuni visitatori. Terremo conto del suo suggerimento e valuteremo come informare meglio i nostri ospiti in merito. Grazie ancora per le sue gentili parole e per i consigli costruttivi. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro e offrirle un’esperienza ancora migliore. Cordiali saluti, Lo Staff.

Wonderful location with a great view, very friendly staff, comfortable beds. Nice pool and the entire property is very well maintained. Unfortunately the eggs and bacon at breakfast were already cold shortly after 9 a.m., and the coffee was already gone. Unfortunately no cappuccino.

stayed from 03/24/2026 to 03/26/2026

The answer from the host:
Grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza e per le bellissime parole sulla posizione, la struttura e il nostro staff, ci fa davvero piacere sapere che ha apprezzato il soggiorno. Ci scusiamo sinceramente per quanto riscontrato durante la colazione. Desideriamo precisare che, su richiesta, il nostro staff è sempre disponibile a preparare caffè e cappuccini espressi, proprio per offrire un servizio più curato e personalizzato. Ci dispiace che la colazione non sia stata all’altezza delle aspettative e faremo senz’altro maggiore attenzione a mantenere i cibi caldi fino all’ultimo orario di servizio, oltre a garantire una costante disponibilità delle bevande. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro e offrirle un’esperienza ancora più piacevole. Un caro saluto,

At the end of our 4-week Sicily tour, we found a paradise. A beautiful property in pristine nature with lovely flowers amidst a lemon grove. Denise and her staff members created a wonderful conclusion to our vacation, making the farewell from Sicily even harder. Galea is an excellent place to relax, but also offers diverse opportunities to explore the surroundings, such as Etna, Taormina, Catania, etc. Denise is happy to help plan tours and book with the organizers. On our next trip to Sicily, we will definitely spend some more days in Galea.

From the 18th to the 25th of October 2020, we spent a great week of vacation in eastern Sicily. The agriturismo was our base for excursions to Mount Etna, Taormina, Catania, Syracuse, and Ragusa. The property is surrounded by a beautiful citrus grove, the room essential but very clean. The breakfast is varied and plentiful. All the staff was extremely kind. We also want to mention the perfect management of the holiday bonus that we used. Definitely worth returning.

stayed from 10/18/2020 to 10/25/2020

olivier

Beautiful rustic structure, very well renovated. Our room was very spacious, as well as the bathroom. Very wide and rich breakfast, dinner (all at km 0) very good. They also sell typical products, made by them. The managers and staff were very kind and professional. Only small negative point: there was no place to put the shampoo in the shower. Everything else perfect!

stayed from 10/20/2020 to 10/23/2020

With my husband, we spent 3 days at the beautiful Agriturismo Galea. A perfect location to spend days immersed in the greenery, intoxicated by the scent of the lemon grove. The room was very large and bright, high ceiling, excellent cleanliness. In the shower box, a shelf was missing to put the shampoo, I would have found it very useful considering the comfort that the room offered. Abundant breakfast, from sweet to savory. Genuine food characterized by excellent quality seasonal products. Kind staff and attentive to details, we felt very pampered. Thank you for the hospitality, we will definitely meet again.

The farmhouse is nestled in the greenery of a wonderful citrus grove with a view of Mount Etna and very close to the sea. Bicycles and a pool are available to guests, a private table with an umbrella in front of each room where you can relax in peace. The staff is very helpful and kind. The structure is very well maintained and welcoming. Dining on the terrace surrounded by greenery is a plus, especially when the cuisine is simple, genuine, and tasty. Staying at Agriturismo Galea is a must!

Welcoming structure immersed in a large lemon grove at the foot of Mount Etna and with a view of beautiful Taormina. Friendly and helpful staff, as well as the attentive owner to the needs of the customers. It is worth noting the availability and kindness of Daniela, always ready to satisfy our daughter's desires. Very comfortable rooms with outdoor space for further relaxation. Bikes available even for children who can have fun in the dedicated playground. The pool is clean and surrounded by a super well-kept lawn. Pleasant the possibility of having lunch at the poolside kiosk. Super abundant breakfast with fresh products, cakes, pies, and cookies all made by them. Definitely worth coming back.
