Le Giare B&B  

In Riposto, steps from the Ionian Sea and a short walk to Porto dell'Etna. A stroll puts you near the city center and sights like Metropolitan Theater, Bellini Gardens and Piazza Stesicoro, with Taormina, Giardini Naxos and Mount Etna within easy reach. Pet-friendly and perfectly placed for sea-and-volcano days.

A small B&B with just eight guestrooms, many with private balconies and rooftop/terrace views of Etna and the Taormina gulf. Rooms feature pillowtop beds with down comforters and Frette Italian sheets, minibars, satellite TV, A/C, private bathrooms (shower/tub combos and bidets) and hairdryers. The vibe is bright and simple — think sea-breeze mornings, a sunny terrace and a cozy library.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, free parking zone and wheelchair access with elevator. On-site perks include a solarium, rooftop terrace, library, concierge and tour desk, plus airport shuttle and complimentary train-station pick-up. Outside-the-door options range from a nearby diving club and water-park access (surcharge) to off-site skiing; bike storage, car rental and private check-in/out are available. Smoking is allowed in designated areas; well-behaved pets are welcome.

A 24-hour business center and 60 m² (646 ft²) of conference and meeting space make this B&B workable for small events and meetings. Complimentary wired and wireless internet and express check-out keep things efficient.

An on-site restaurant serves guests, and mornings bring a wide buffet breakfast served on a terrace with fantastic views of Etna and the gulf. Simple, convenient dining steps from your room.
