Riposto is a picturesque fishing village belonging to the province of Catania. Idyllically set just in front of Mount Etna, it is home to one of the most important tourist harbours of the whole province, the thriving Porto dell’Etna.

 

Hotels in Riposto have developed considerable expertise in the sector of tourism and hospitality. The local guest houses welcome guests with the utmost courtesy and kindness, and so do the city's residences, that give them the possibility to spend pleasant seaside holidays here. Not to be missed are Riposto's farm houses, that give gourmets the possibility to eat tasty traditional specialities from Sicily while enjoying genuine traditions and ancient usages and customs. 

 

Riposto is rich in history and fascination. Like the nearby Giarre, it nestles on the slopes of Mount Etna, and its thriving tourist harbour overlooks Sicily's beguiling, crystal-clear sea. Giarre and Riposto were some of the best developed commercial ports of the eastern coast of Sicily between the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. The important role that was once played by the city is now evidenced by the prestigious civic architectures of its old town, as well as by its sumptuous Neoclassical Church of St. Pietro. Not to be missed is the Park of Kentie, a lush botanical garden rich in rare vegetal species that extends over a total surface of 9000 square metres.

The thriving Porto Dell’Etna gathers large numbers of pleasure-craft owners, and also attracts the lovers of sea and excursions. Riposto's most beautiful beach is the lovely pebbly lido of Praiola. The city is situated few kilometres far from further popular seaside resorts, such as Taormina and Acireale. The lovers of excursions won't miss the opportunity to visit the nearby Park of Mount Etna, while the nearby Nicolosi is a real paradise for mountain lovers, since it gathers beautiful ski slopes and modern ski-lift facilities.
