“If you’re going to Catania, it’s one of the best locations to stay.”
A good location in Catania and few mins to the shopping areas. Very Safe and good parking. Settled beautiful and very quiet. It’s a must to dine here. I’ve been many times in Sicily and never tasted food this good. The pizza and the traditional food then…. Woww. Good job for all there and keep it up.

“We are grateful for the owner’s kindness and welcome for the young children too. Excellent food”
The family that run this place are wonderful and made our stay. So kind and gentle. And always helpful. We felt welcomed in to a part of their home rather than staying at a hotel.

“if you are seeking a quiet simple space to do nothing much but eat well then this is it.”
We needed a location outside of Catania close to shops and this was just perfect. if I do come here, come hungry. The food was divine. The staff very friendly. Price for the room could be slightly cheaper as the huts are very simple. However in the end it was all worth it. We might come again to simply spend 2 days by the pool which this time round we didn’t even manage to use.
