This apartment is just great, very new and the rooms were very spacious. Both bathrooms where well equiped and the living room area was very cozy. Pasquale was a great host! He was very helpful and also got to taste the amazing Napolitane pizze and his own baked bread. I'd definitely go again, we felt like home.

Such a great base for Etna. Or just for food and music!

Such a cute place. We booked as a base for Etna and the Aquapark. It worked perfectly. We were lucky enough to arrive on a Sunday night, when the restaurant was open and, later, there was live music. Both food and music were excellent. Communications worked great, even when, after we left, my wife realised that she had left her earrings behind. No bother at all! We went back and the earrings had been found and kept in a little bag. A great stay and great food with it. Reccomend.

An oasis of calm with the added benefit of amazing hosts and wonderful food.

The location was ideal for exploring Catania and surrounding areas. The property is on a very quiet road and has wonderful views. The apartment is on the third floor and you climb up lovely windy staircase to your own private area. It is a mixture of vintage and modern and has everything you need. Two big bedrooms and two bathrooms. The hosts were amazing and made us feel very welcome. The pool was divine and is pretty much for your sole use. The property is a restaurant and the food was SO good! We ate there three times and even took the pizza-making classes. A fabulous experience.

The guesthouse is really close to visit Etna; in about 25 min you can easily drive up to the cableway. Also, there is a swimming pool and the owner bakes delicious pizzas. Perfect for a family like us - the food was a lot and reasonably priced. The owners are very nice and welcoming people.

The property was great! İt's located in the peaceful neighborhood of Catania, with a wonderful view. You can see the sea and sunrise from the living room in the mornings and Etna from the bedroom. Everything that you need, you can find in the apartment. There is a nice backyard with a swimming pool where you can spend your time. The owner of the apartment is very nice, kind man and pizzas in his restaurant ( on the ground floor) are so so delicious!

Good flat in Etna area

Cosy apartment fully equipped located on top of a good restaurant with small public garden, free secure parking and a small outdoor pool. Good location to explore Etna and the surrounding region. Lots of supermarkets, cafè and shops nearby but car is needed. The restaurant can serve lunch or dinner in the flat and the owners are kind.

Room with Etna view

The apartment is spacious, stylish and well equipped. We found everything what we needed. From one room you can see the Etna and from the living room the sea and the sunrise which is amazing. There is a restaurant and a pool downstairs but unfortunately we didn’t have time to try them out.

we loved it and will recommend it!

place was very clean, spacious and with amazing natural light coming in as there are many windows. the surroundings were very quiet and close to highways and facilities like supermarkets, pharmacies and food stores. the 2 big bathrooms were perfect and we had a toddler with us who enjoyed a very comfortable and ‘vintage’-like cot :) ACs working properly as well.
