Anyone staying in Nicolosi for a holiday needs their own...
Anyone staying in Nicolosi for a holiday needs their own transport. Sicily is not like Malta and doesn't have a good public bus service, sadly.
Also you need to be a very confident driver if you are considering hiring a car there. It's every man/woman for himself.
The only other way to get around is by booking tours, which do seem to be plentiful.
Plenty of good places in Nicolosi to eat and well stocked supermarkets.
My only criticism really is the amount or rubbish left on the road sides, which seems such a shame for such a beautiful civilised place and is something that local councils really need to address.

Very scenic and a quaint village.
Very scenic and a quaint village. You will need own transportation to be more free to go where you want. They have rosticcierie for lunch and food is lovely.
For pizza, particularly if you have intolerances, order from Punto ICS - excellent and does delivery.
We also ate at La Baita di Rosemary, prices are affordable and they have a varied menu but isn't ideal for food intolerances, though they do oblige for food for children.

Nicolosi is a vibrant town with lots of delicious restaurants. It is very easy to get to Etna from here, and good travel link to other tourist attractions such as Taormina, Catania, Aci Reale. Comparing to Catania, Nicolosi is much quieter, cleaner and we feel very safe in this town.

Great location for visiting Etna and the region.
Great location for visiting Etna and the region. Unfortunately, constant dogs barking meant that we couldn't use place to relax in-between excursions. Host has 7 dogs and most neighbours do too, we took are dog, but he is trained. Host was nice, English not so good but neither is my Italian so not really an issue. Patio of place was full of ash on our arrival, which could have been swept up in 2 mins and avoided being walked inside. I don't know if it is mentioned in the description the amount of dogs the owner has, but if somebody has a fear of dogs or small children who are a bit dog wary, this is not the place for you. You do not come into contact with them but you are well aware of their presence.

Tourist town. I regret we had stayed there.
Tourist town. I regret we had stayed there. Was hard to find an honest and authentic place to eat. Lost of repelling restaurants.
Luckily we were recomended by our host to eat at Scorzonera and it was worth it.
Staying at la pigna dell'Etna was really great. The one bedroom apartment is renovated, very clean with fully equipped kitchen (breakfast included), private bathroom with all the necessary accessories.
Location is convenient for organising trip and excursion in the mountain, but also close to Catania city centre (30 minutes by car)
The host are exceptional and always available in case of need
Definitely we will come back!
A very charming place close to Etna volcano. nice to stay in this place after an excursion to the volcano. Swimming pool to relax around a charming garden. Very quiet neighborhood, perfect to rest. We enjoyed our stay. Both the hosts were very welcoming and made us stay very comfortable. Very clean room an very comfortable beds. Very nice and complete breakfast. Would recommend without a doubt
The breakfast was buffet style, and the choice of foods and drinks was absolutely wonderful. The best breakfast we had in Sicily. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home immediately. We had a room with a balcony that had loungers, which was a marvellous bonus. Also, the choice of pillows in the room was excellent. You have several options, depending on individual preference.
The house is quite lovely. It's placed in a quiet area just 5mins away from Nicolosi center which is beautiful. The house has all emenities and comfortable beds with a good sized kitchen and sofa. The host suggested many good restaurants in the area which turned out great. He also gave us locations of near by attractions such as mount etna. We had a really lovely stay. Thank you
The closeness to etna and Catania was great! We were there when etna erupted a little and ash covered everything, an experience I will never forget. However the ash was held back and none was near our front door so no problems with the handling of it and great quiet area with a bustling town.
Very nice location at the base of Etna, quiet neighbourhood, yet very close to Nicolosi center (5 minutes by car).
Distance from Catania: 15-20 minutes by car.
Denise and Michele provided high level customer care, great communication, short response time.
Definitely recommended!
Breakfast was good but would prefer English breakfast.The room was very clean and they changed the towels ever 2 days and was surprised because they changed the linen in the middle of our stay. Not many hotels do it. I would recommend this B&B.
Spacious living area, nice kitchen, comfy bed and hot shower. Good location on a square in Nicolosi with free parking. Lovely host, friendly, kind and full of lots of good local information. Made my stay in Sicily comfortable and stress free
Close to the town centre and within reach of the coast, the apartment also has the bonus of also being close to Mt Etna and Nicolosi Parkrun.
Gio provided supplies for breakfast, fruit and a great cake freshly cooked! Great!
We really liked the place, very cosy, clean, nice breakfast, location very convenient if you go to visit Etna. Also Nicolosi, place itself was nice and clean. Host was very welcoming. Would love to come back!
We had a fantastic time at Villa Dorata. This place has a unique atmosphere and a lot of cachet. They are very friendly and it is in my opinion the best place to stay if you are planning on hiking Etna
What a stunning place. From the design to the staff, it is an environmental beauty. There is no better way to experience Sicily here than with Bruno and the whole staff at Criu.
The design, the style, the cleanliness and the staff - very respectful and accommodating. The nice restaurant next door is a big plus. And ease of parking close to hotel.
The hotel's location is unique. It's a must if you're in Sicily. Room facilities are good and the rooms are clean. Restaurant is fantastic and staff are really nice.
A nice house short walking distance to Nicolosi centre. Very kind hosts. Very good breakfast. Could park our motorcycles inside the property gates. Recommended.
