Four of us - two couples - stayed here when we were visiting the Benanti vineyards last June. For us, the location was great and the host, Susanna, even drove us to the wine-tasting nearby and back. It is easy to relax on the back patio or terrace, and breakfast was served on the lawn below. You can walk to a couple of places nearby and since it is near Viagrande's central street, you could walk into "downtown" if you wanted to. Next time we stay, we will take Susanna up on her offers of yoga in the garden and swimming in a nearby saltwater pool. I totally recommend staying here.

Grazie Michael, sono felice che siate stati bene nella mia casa!

Susanna made us feel very welcome. She creates a calm and homely atmosphere. Our room (ensuite) was spacious. It led directly onto the patio and Susanna's lovely garden where we enjoyed her delicious homemade breakfasts - bread, cake, preserves, and plentiful supplies of coffee. We also appreciated the kitchenette which made it possible to eat in several nights. Susanna gave us excellent advice on places to visit including Catania, Taormina, and Mount Etna. She made it possible for us to spend a delightful day at a nearby outdoor pool. Having a car was helpful and there is easy parking outside the house. Overall, we would strongly recommend Velardi.

The Velardi B&B is a FANTASTIC place to stay. Our host, Susanna, was very communicative and helpful. The room was spacious and clean and air-conditioned (a necessity given that we were there during the hottest week of the summer). The bathroom was enormous and had a lovely shower that was lit from above with a skylight. Breakfast in Susanna's garden, a tucked away oasis, was magical: fresh fruit, granola, yogurt, juice, coffee, cookies, and homemade sweet breads. The B&B is located just a 5-minute walk from the central town square, convenient to restaurants and the workshop I was attending. Susanna helped to arrange for us: a guided tour of Etna, massages for my wife, a beach trip, and a tour of the Greek Theatre at Taormina--she couldn't have been more informative or helpful. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat--it gets my strongest recommendation.

The answer from the host:
Thank you so much for your appreciation Chrys! You were lovely guests!

giuseppe mario

Excellent structure, excellent hospitality, excellent rooms, and excellent cleanliness. Rooms super heated in an extremely clean environment. The quality breakfast, with products made by the owner, is an added value. That being said, I highly recommend this place, especially considering the right price for the offer received. I had a beautiful stay.

Care and attention are immediately evident to the eye, and in a moment, you are acclimated to a pleasantly comfortable and familiar environment. The welcome and availability of Susanna then complete everything, returning a stay that is hard to leave and impossible to forget.

costanza

Staying at Susanna's is like being welcomed into a warm and cozy embrace. From the very first entrance, the attention to detail and warm colors that reflect all the sweetness and availability of the owner are evident. The breakfast, prepared with the same care and tenderness, allows you to start the day full of energy and the desire to taste the beauties of the Etna villages. I highly recommend choosing this establishment which, despite the short stay, I feel like calling home, a place we will definitely return to.

The answer from the host:
Ma che belle parole Costanza! Sono veramente felice che vi siate sentiti a casa.... ti ringrazio e vi aspetto!

The Velardi B&B is well-kept and welcoming, wonderful the garden where Susanna, the kind owner, prepares a delicious and abundant breakfast with very good local products, fresh fruit, and homemade cakes; we also received many valuable tips for our excursions. A place full of positive energy!

Susanna is a caring and welcoming host who knows how to pamper her guests. Our room was well furnished, very clean, and with those details that make the difference like handmade soap, fresh flowers, and essential oils. Fantastic breakfasts in the garden that is nothing short of a corner of paradise. We will be back soon!

stayed from 08/29/2022 to 08/31/2022

The answer from the host:
Grazie cara Giulia per il tuo apprezzamento. Voi siete stati ospiti simpaticissimi ed entusiasti, spero di ospitarvi ancora presto!

pietro

Excellent structure that fully meets the expectations of those looking for a Bed and Breakfast located in a strategic position to enjoy the coolness compared to the Catania plain (the town is at the foot of Mount Etna), and to be close enough and well connected to Catania and the beaches in the area. I recommend it.

My partner and I spent 4 nights at Velardi B&B for work reasons. We had a great time and almost didn't want to leave. The structure is beautiful and clean, and Susanna is a kind and helpful host. The room where we stayed, The Spice Room, is quite large and well furnished, with a nice view of an internal garden. At night, the room is quiet and you can rest peacefully. During the day, it is also possible to have breakfast in the garden, just as we did thanks to Susanna. The internet connection works very well, and you can work comfortably with your own laptop from the room. The B&B is located near the center, a stone's throw from a supermarket and pharmacies, and is an excellent starting point to visit Mount Etna and its surroundings. What enhances the structure is the kindness and availability of Susanna, a true master of the art of hospitality. We had a great time, highly recommended!

I had a great time! The house is very welcoming, warm, clean, and well taken care of in every detail. Super delicious breakfast with organic and zero kilometer products. Kindness and availability from the host made me feel even better and her tips were very helpful for my excursions on Mount Etna. The quality/price ratio is exceptional.

stayed from 02/01/2021 to 02/03/2021

The answer from the host:
Grazie per il tuo apprezzamento Silvia! È stato un piacere ospitarti!

giuliana

Wonderful place! Susanna welcomed us in a very friendly way at her Bed and Breakfast, which is beautiful, very refined and located in a splendid position to visit Mount Etna, Catania, Acireale and many other wonderful locations. The rooms are very spacious, elegant and spotless! We were also pampered with a delicious breakfast served in her beautiful garden. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
