Hey from Maria Antonietta

Member since February 2019 | 5,685 hits
"Whether I am staying in a 5-star hotel, or a cozy B & B, hospitality is the number one priority I look for when booking a place to stay. Antonella and Salvatore fit that bill to the max! From the moment I booked, Antonella was quickly responsive with emails, (which is always a great first impression). When we arrived, much later than anticipated, Antonella was waiting for us, and got us all set with restaurant recommendations, suggestions for day trips, and got us settled in our room. Next morning breakfast was great with fresh breads, meats, cheese, fresh squeezed orange juice and cappuccino. Salvatore insisted to drive us to the meeting point for our Mt. Etna excursion, and Antonella, upon hearing my woes about the soft water of Sicily wreaking havoc on my curly hair gave me her high powered hair blower to get my curl on, (which may sound like no big deal, but for those of you who can relate, lol...). Other plusses include great location, (best ice cream in Sicily is in a pasticceria called Marialuisa, a 10 minute walk to main center), immaculate accommodations and parking. Thank you so much for making our experience truly memorable!".

Charming hosts, available and who gave us great advice for our excursion on Mount Etna. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the garden and the common living space available to us with free access to the fridge, kitchen, fruit juices, coffee, tea... Parking inside the property.

The rooms are located outside the city, in a quiet area in a secure garden where you can park. There is a separate bungalow for an extraordinary breakfast. The hosts are extremely kind, caring, and know the region very well. I absolutely recommend this stay.
