Maniace Vacation Rentals

"The people here are the BEST. We had the greatest meal prepared with love, local ingredients snd Nonna’s recipes. And the setting, room, location, everything was magical and lovely. Our room was so nice and comfortable, clean and beautiful. "

"Fantastic value, warm and friendly hosts, Etna views in front of our balcony! Loved our breakfasts and dinner too."

"The staff very much made this hotel worth maximum ratings. They were able to accommodate my need for two separate beds without issue and honor what I thought I was booking. The breakfast was great and made the stay a good value. The gym and pool close at 2000 - it would be nice if these were open longer. "

"Wonderful property with incredible menu. Gourmet dinner available in hotel or 3 minute walk to sister restaurant which is excellent for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was a treat. Wonderful staff - friendly and helpful. Wish we had more time at this hotel"

"We spent a wonderful week this March at Podere dell’Etna Segreta, and the experience was truly unforgettable. Even with a touch of winter still in the landscape, the beauty and tranquillity of the estate are felt the moment you pass through the gate and approach the main house. Each room has its own fireplace, with wood thoughtfully provided, adding warmth and charm to the peaceful setting. Above the estate, Etna in Bianco dominates the sky, while the view from the villa’s terrace offers a breathtaking panorama of the landscape below. What makes the place truly special is the care and passion of the Grasso family and their dedicated team, who make you feel more like a guest of the family than a visitor. The chef’s creations are exceptional, making every meal a memorable experience, with new dishes already being meticulously planned for the summer season. All of this gives us the perfect reason to return in summer—to see the podere in a completely different light: vineyards heavy with grapes awaiting the right moment for the vendemmia, olive trees full of fruit, and the joy of dining al fresco on the beautiful terrace whilst taking in the beautiful surroundings. Grazie di cuore a Mario (Poet and Boss), Costanza (the Wife), Lorenzo (Chef), Gabriele and Jack (extremely dedicated staff). A presto"
