Description
Hello everyone! I too am a traveler like you, and I like to think of my home as a place where those who travel the world can find shelter, feeling the warmth of a home around them.
The B&B that I have created has turned into, day by day, year by year, a meeting point, a place to exchange information, impressions, and stories.
We decided to name our B&B after the story of Aci and Galatea. This legend has a Greek origin and explains the wealth of fresh water sources in the Etna area, including Acireale.
The legend tells that, following Aci's death after various adventures, Galatea's endless weeping aroused the compassion of the Gods who wanted to alleviate her torment by transforming Aci into a beautiful river that descends from Etna and flows into the stretch of beach where the two lovers used to meet.
We will host you in a cozy and refined late 19th-century dwelling. The rooms, comfortable and well-furnished, ensure a pleasant and relaxing stay.
On the terrace, you will enjoy our Mediterranean breakfast, enriched by the renowned Acese pastry, and in the evening, wrapped in the scent of jasmine, the city will bid you goodnight with its illuminated domes.
We have two double rooms and one triple room, all carefully decorated and furnished: each room is equipped with heating, air conditioning and a comfortable private bathroom with shower.
Autonomous entrance keys to guarantee maximum independence in managing schedules.
The structure is equipped with free Wifi internet network to allow our guests to connect to the internet, check their mail, and stay updated.

What guests say
Reviews highlight the central location of the property, making it easy to explore the town on foot. Hosts Giulio and Daniela are especially praised for their kindness and helpfulness. Guests find the rooms clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated; however, some mention the furniture is a bit dated and note minor drawbacks such as the lack of TV or unreliable Wi-Fi in some rooms. The breakfast, often served on a panoramic terrace, is abundant and much appreciated. Overall, this is a charming B&B, ideal for those seeking authentic atmosphere and hospitality, with good value for money.

Very central location, very helpful manager, the structure is quite old but well maintained. Too bad there is no TV in the room and the double bed with 2 single mattresses is not the most comfortable.

I had a very pleasant stay at Daniela and Giulio's place: I came for work and could enjoy it almost as a holiday! Giulio and Daniela have been very welcoming, providing answers to all my questions (including advice on restaurants, places to visit), the breakfast on the terrace is great and the room was pleasant as well. The only minor drawback was the quality of the wifi, not working inside my room (it is probably OK in other rooms, I don't know). Otherwise it was perfect.

The answer from the host:
Thanks for the great review! we are happy that you enjoyed your stay in our B&B! sorry for the problem with wifi in the room, unfortunately just in your room there is not always a good reception, but we are providing. Thanks again and next time! Daniela and Giulio.

I thank Daniela, for her infinite hospitality, thanks to her love for her land she was able to give us special moments in her B&B. The rooms are cozy, excellent taste in the furnishings and the breakfast with typical products on that fantastic terrace, gave us a fantastic good morning every morning!

Excellent structure located in a strategic point of the town or, as in my case, I went to the B&B for a concert at the sports hall, a 15-minute walk away. Mrs. Daniela was extremely kind, breakfast was abundant and of excellent quality. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Aci e Galatea for just one night, but we had a great time. The Bed and Breakfast is a 5-minute walk from the center and a 20-minute walk from the Palasport (in case you are staying in Acireale to attend a concert like us). The interior of the Bed and Breakfast is very tastefully furnished, full of curious objects and books scattered around the structure that you can take and read freely. The breakfast was abundant and very good. We asked the owner for an alternative milk (as we are intolerant) and she brought us a delicious cappuccino made with almond milk. Really everything was perfect.

The structure, quiet and welcoming, is located in the heart of an ancient Baroque city: a dive into the opulent past of ancient nobility.\n\nMrs. Daniela, always available and discreet, has proven to be an important support for our needs.\n\nThe structure is clean, well-kept, and equipped with everything that can make the stay enjoyable.\nBut breakfast is the top!
