Nice location to visit if you are travelling the island anti-clockwise as we were.

Having seen a previous post on booking.com with the beach being so close to the apartment we decided for two nights here , our room (8) was perfectly in line with the steps to the very pebbly beach. And the cafe/restaurant was adjacent approx 20 metres away with an outdoor seating area. So all in all everything you could want in close proximity. The view was lovely / sunsets were beautiful… and not to far from the apartments there are alternatives places to eat .. 10-15 minutes in the car .. the on-site restaurant was hosted by a lovey young couple and the food reasonable , my partner wasn’t impressed with hers but mine was fine .. so hit and miss really.

A lovely little place to relax!

Once you are behind the agricultural area / plastic greenhouses and drove shortly on a gravel / dirt road, you will find an idyllic little oasis with a breathtaking view over the beautiful blue sea! A lovely little place to relax 🏖️🩵. Parking is directly at the accommodation, good breakfast, possibly to have a nice dinner at the restaurant which is at the ground floor. Other restaurants are at a 7-minute drive in Punta Secca, which offers a better selection then Punta Braccetto. At the B&B sun beds are available for free. If you want to do an outing, then the Donnafugata Castle is worthwhile to visit.

Amazing location right on the sea: the view and ambience are outstanding! Our room was big and comfortable, with a stunning view. Big bonus is the restaurant where we spent a couple of very enjoyable and delicious evenings! The little beach is charming and offers very nice snorkelling options. Two sand beaches at walking distance.

Perfect location, beautiful venue, lovely and caring staff. My mattress was a bit old, the bathroom could have been clea

The location is top. The view from the room on the sea and the sound of the sea are amazing. The staff was lovely and caring.

A quiet relaxing retreat

The villa iis new to the owners so this is their 1st season and we were the 1st English people to stay there . The villa is right on a private pebble beach water shallow enough to swim in but take sea shoes as lots of pebbles. The owner and staff are absolutely wonderful,friendly helpful nad nothing was to much trouble for them . The villa is 2.5 hours from Catania Aiport and 5 hours from Palermo airport so a car is an absolute must as you will need to drive to the villa and to also enjoy the surrounding areas . The dining area had a lovely sea side vibe ,bright and airy and spotlessly clean .The food was DELICIOUS ,made fresh to order ,breakfast was ample also ,fresh fruit salad,croissants, yogurt ,just right to get you on your way but also cooked food is available if you wish . I recommend tring the messina beer with sea salt ,very smooth and tasty . All in all a very relaxed and friendly stay and I wish the proprietors all the success as they deserve it .

Absolutely beautiful!

The most amazing view and sunset, with a little cove where we sat and had our breakfast. Short (20min) walk to a sandy beach and a lovely little bar. The view of the sea - stunning. Clean and tidy room, mini fridge and a balcony. The host was very friendly and welcoming, thank you! Hope to see you again one day!

Could've been better

If you are looking to relax in a remote place with a beach, this could be a good location for you. The hotel has a private beach with sunbeds. Unfortunately, we were there off-season and it was chilly and too windy so couldn't spend any time at the beach area. Also to bear in mind: the restaurant was closed in mid-September so you always need to drive somewhere else to get food. The room was spacious but much less fancy than it looks in the photos. There is some renovation work to do like the paint on the walls. Apart from that, very friendly host and a satisfying breakfast. Might be more pleasant in the right season :)

The sea view from our balcony was truly amazing. They have a small pebble beach that would have been perfect for snorkelling if we had brought our rock shoes and snorkelling gear. The view from the restaurant is beautiful as well. This is what you pay for.
