This is an oasis of quiet. An old farmhouse, beautifully appointed. They will make dinner and breakfast for you. There is a lovely restaurant-bar area. You can walk a little ways in the woods. There is a pool. It was a relief to spend two nights here away from the cities. The mt etna park is just 23km away. Perfect!

Gorgeous property located 30 minutes from the base of mount Etna. The rooms are beautiful and well decorated. Gorgeous views. The food at the restaurant was amazing. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive. We had a lovely time here and only wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Such a beautiful and secluded area. The building is beautiful and quaint. It’s really quiet and peaceful. Staff is very friendly and the hotel restaurant is great!
I would have wished for a nice hike or trail, there was some tracks, but a bit difficult to follow. They have some plastic grass in the courtyard which is a bummer!

Boom boom shake the room
We had a fantastic 3 day stay at Bosco. A very comfortable family room with lovely views front and back and a wonderful pool to cool down in. Breakfast was included and bountiful with many homemade cakes to chose from. We decided to visit Mt Etna and were informed by the owners that we could claim a free lunch at the top. A nice bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to explore the area. Thanks for a great stay. The Catt-Marrisons

Wow
Beautiful clean room on to lovely courtyard - Alicandro was amazing - nothing was too much trouble - checking us in early when she was baking cakes for a wedding, making us the best lunch we’ve had in Sicily, explaining wine (which was amazing) suggesting and making fantastic drinks and letting us have breakfast early when we left early for a trip to etna. We watched etna erupting from the patio and had brilliant meals. No air conditioning but the temperature in the area is much lower than on the coast and totally bearable. Loved it all and hope to come back soon x

I had high hopes for this hotel unfortunately they were not realized. It was advertised as a room with a view of Mt Etna and we were even charged additional for this non existent view. The only view of Mt Erna from this property is way over in the corner of the courtyard and just the bare tops are visible.
The other main issue other than it not having a view is that it does not have a functioning pool. The pool does not have a filtration system so the water is green in color and most likely dangerous to swim in.
Beyond these 2 things, the old house and grounds are pretty. We had dinner one evening which was fairly over priced for what you got. The pasta was good and the steak was mediocre. Sadly I can not recommend this hotel.

Very quaint state on top of a hill - be ready to drive on a windy, one lane road for 10 minutes-
The property is really nice and the staff was amazingly nice
Dinner was delicious
our room was rustic, but it did its job.

The Villa is beautiful, updated, comfortable and very quiet. The staff were amazing. They take time to talk to you, make you feel at home. The food I must say was the best we had in Sicily! The dinner menu's were amazing. This part of Etna is beautiful. I highly recommend staying here!

Gorgeous property in the forest.
If you are looking for a place where you can get away from the chaos of every day life whilst enjoying some beautiful countryside and some amazing food, then this is the place for you. The location is lovely, the people who work here are also great. Kira the dog is very sweet. They have a nice family room where you can spend your evening reading, or working or playing billiard. The offer dinner, and the food is delicious. The pool is beautiful but we got there a bit late and I had work to do so we didn't actually get to use it.
We had a basic room, which is a bit small. Next time I will get the Castagno, which is bigger and more modern.
This is not the place for you if you like to 'do something', unless it's take walks in the countryside and just relax.

Dejligste lille autentiske hotel. Rart og roligt - vi følte os meget velkomne. Det sødeste personale - og skøn mad på hotellets restaurant. Belligenheden er helt perfekt, hvis man ønsker at udforske Etna, med kun kort køretur til svævebanen. Vi havde 4 overnatninger - og ville ønske vi havde haft en hel uge.

Vi havde nogle fantastiske dage på Bosco Ciancio. Det er et roligt og meget smukt sted, med vidunderlig udsigt til Etna. Personalet var så søde og hjælpsomme, så vi næsten følte, at vi var gæster i et privat hjem. Maden var skøn og de var meget hjælpsomme med anbefaling af vinsmagning og guidet tur til Etna. Da vi fik problemer med en punktering i vores lejebil, hjalp de også med at tale med vejhjælp og tog stort ansvar for vores situation. Vi kommer meget gerne tilbage.
