"The staff were really friendly and attentive. The rooms very clean and large. They set up an extra single bed for my son. The breakfast was delicious. They organised a driver to pick us up from the train and then to take us to the airport. He was a very careful driver. The pool area was much smaller than the view in the website. It was however very clean and there was bar service. The atmosphere was really relaxing and chilled. It is a little dangerous to walk anywhere from the hotel as there...

"It was an honour to stay in this beautiful family home with such heritage and history. Full of memories and links to the past this is a very special place.

"We had a really nice stay at Giuseppe’s flat. Communication was really good and we really appreciated the time Giuseppe spent with us to check us in and give us tips on where to go. The flat was spotlessly clean. View of Etna is unbeatable. The area was quiet while we were there in April. You can walk to the sea at the end of the road but there’s no beach. Very useful to have the garage to park the car. Thanks for a great stay. "
