Outstanding accommodation with stunning views, great hosts and yummy breakfast

The accommodation exceeded my expectations. The hosts were absolutely brilliant and so welcoming. They took care of all my needs. I got some great tips for the area and even a parking space in Catania. The view from the balcony is amazing, and the flat has everything you need and is spotlessly clean. There is a secure park spot right in front of the house. The breakfast was delicious, featuring local delicacies. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be coming back.

To stay at this place was one of the highlights during my travel. I was able to experience the the authentic sicilian hospitality, warmth and authenticity. The family made a great job to make me feel comfortable and taken care. To get such a great experience during your travel with local people is the best part of traveling. Furthermore you could see the mount Etna it is in front of the building. When I would be in sicily I would definetly visit this place again.

We had a wonderful stay! The staff made us feel truly welcome, as if we belonged there. We were treated exceptionally well and received plenty of helpful information from the host. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, just 15 minutes from Catania by car and close to Mount Etna, this is definitely a spot worth considering.(Free parking)

Lovely family sharing their lovely home.

So beautifully decorated and had lovely views of Mount Etna. The bed was the best we’ve had in Sicily! We had a lovely welcome when we arrived and were well looked after.

Aurora and her father are so kind and warm people, my friends and I felt very welcomed. They helped us with the luggage, gave us many recommendations and even prepared breakfast earlier for us as we had to check-out early due to our trip to Etna. The apartments were very comfortable, perfectly clean and equipped. The most amazing part was the balcony view, looking directly at Etna.

A perfect stay in La Punta

Salvo and his daughter are the friendliest people. The room itself is very modern and luxurious, even all small details are perfect, and it has a great view on the Etna. We were kindly welcomed with water and a cappuccino and we exchanged nice conversations with a little bit of help of google translator. You can tell that Salvo genuinely cares about his visitors and will do his best to help wherever he can, and give advise about the area. The breakfast was also delicious! You will definitely not go hungry ;) Thank you so much Salvo for this great experience. We would 100% recommend this place to everyone.

Every Little Detail is Perfect

Everything. From the moment I arrived, Salvo and Aurora were the perfect and welcoming hosts. Every small detail is attended to at the B&B with kindness and enthusiasm. The breakfast is amazing. The structure sparkles with cleanliness. The bed was very comfortable.

It all exceeded my expectations, and I'm sure I'll be back!

I stayed at La Punta for a quick night, as it was very close to a place where I needed to be early the next morning. I was greeted with warmth and a cool bottle of water upon arrival, and the owner went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and help me get on my way early the next morning.

A hidden gem

The facilities were of a high standard and the view from the balcony room was amazing. We were greeted with an exceptional warm welcome and treated like family. The host was very prompt, helpful and just went beyond our expectations. We travelled around Sicily and this was truly the best place we stayed at.Thankyou for making our experience special and very meaningful.

I wish I had stayed longer!

The location is perfect, away from all the noise, in a quiet area and with amazing Etna views. Salvo is a great host, very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I will visit again for sure. The room was spotless, super clean, plenty of towels in the en suite bathroom. I spent a lot of time on the balcony admiring the view of the volcano.
