Perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Touren auf den Ätna. Luca war ein toller Gastgeber, half auch bei der Organisation von Touren. Im Umfeld viele tolle sizilianische Restaurants, in denen sich die Einheimischen treffen. Alles in allem ein Geheimtipp für Individualtouristen. Und nicht zu vergessen, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhâltnis ist hervorragend.

B&B ligt dicht bij de Etna en andere mooie plekken om te bezoeken zijn nog geen uur rijden. Vriendelijk personeel wat altijd voor je klaar staat en altijd bereikbaar is als je iets nodig hebt. Nette en schone kamers waar niks aan ontbreekt.

Very nice room. Very modern and clean. Good hot water in shower. No iron or ironing board available. Breakfast is at an offsite location and consists of one coffee and one pastry. Not sure adding the breakfast was worth. The owner Luca is very responsive. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it.

come a casa
Graziosa sistemazione all’Interno di una abitazione rurale che conteneva diverse camere. La nostra nuovissima e accogliente con bagno interno. Pulizia impeccabile, bagno grande e dotato di ogni confort. Consiglio per chi cerca una sistemazione nella zona e fuori dal caos cittadino

Ottima esperienza
Il B&B si trova in un luogo strategico per visitare l’Etna, i suoi paesi e Catania. I proprietari molto gentili e accoglienti. La camera pulita e spaziosa. Consigliato soprattutto se autonomi per muoversi
