“Fabulous owners and beautiful apartment”
Great location with views of the sea and Mt Etna. The owners were fabulous people and couldn’t do enough to help. Booked us into a local restaurant which was fabulous. Highly recommended.

“Fantastic stay in Giarre”
The flat is very spacious and clean, for 3 couples it was the perfect space to share. The views in both directions are extraordinary, there are so many windows, it’s bright and well ventilated - heat wasn’t an issue at the start of June. We were lucky to see the start of the big eruption on the 2nd of June from the balcony! The location is great, in a quiet area but still close to Giarre and other touristic locations (Taormina, Catania…). Silvia and her family were very nice, welcoming and helpful - she goes above and beyond to help guests with information about local amenities and assistance. We communicated mainly via WhatsApp and Silvia promptly responds, whenever we needed help: for example, when there was no corkscrew, we asked her and she suggested to ask to the neighbour as they know each other - she was lovely too and lended it for few days! Another great thing that usually isn’t in BnBs was that all the essentials were there: shower gel, hand soaps, washing up liquid and cleaning sprays, laundry liquid, and all cooking basics: pasta, rice, oats, oil salt, black pepper, garlic, and bottle water, and first breakfast such as fette biscottate, biscuits, jams, oranges from her trees, milk, sugar, coffee. Also appliances (hairdryer, hoover, iron and board, clothes horses, laundry baskets…). That extra touch that makes the holiday easier!!
