Book a Gioiosa Marea Cottage

"Beautiful location and staff"

"Beautiful boutique property on a lovely street and a magnificent sea view. The host was splendid, friendly, helpful, and very kind. Breakfast each morning was provided by in a charming dining area. I was on the 4th floor, and the street below had shops, restaurants, a beautiful waterfront park, and even a street musician playing beautifully Friday evening. Loved this place."

"We booked a stay in the junior suite (with jacuzzi), planning to stay in Milazzo for only two nights. But we loved the easy access to a clean beach, the super comfy canopy bed, the well functioning AC, the pleasant staff and good breakfast mix of sweet and savory (tilting in typical Italian fashion to the sweet). On the second day, we realized just how relaxed we felt at this hotel, so we decided to stay an extra two nights! It was well worth it. I came back from Italy feeling totally relaxed and restored."

"The best in the world"

"I have stayed at this place twice. I will be again. It’s peaceful and nice. Love the pool and the beach few steps away. The rooms are airy and pretty. "

"Great location and nice hotel. We though we would have two beds as stated on the website but this was not the case so make sure you you request this clearly if you need it. However, they did bring an extra bed in to accommodate us."

"The grounds of the property were immaculate. The dining area used for breakfast was well appointed and the breakfast selections were vast. Good deal of gluten free options available."

"Excellent service! Great breakfast!"

"Beautifully located, spectacular scenery amongst the slopes of Etna and the vineyards. Property is well hidden, you wouldn't know it is there unless you are specifically looking for it. Property is well maintained and their respect for the environment and minimal impact is evident. The staff were wonderful with our check in, escorting us to our room. The pool is lovely, elevated and surrounded by vineyards. Our room was perfect, situated in one of the bungalows. All furnishings and amenities in the room were excellent. We took advantage of the winery tour and tasting and dinner. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable about the winery itself and the wine world in general. Our dinner was delicious....highly recommend the tasting/dinner combo. The staff was very accommodating on our check out date, as we had an Etna trek/tour planned, holding on to our luggage and letting us leave our vehicle there while we were away on our tour for several hours. Looking forward to returning some day, either here or on of the other Filiato properties. "
