Albergo Diffuso Borgo Santa Caterina "Quartiere Ebraico"

Lovely room with great balcony with views across the valley/town. Excellent breakfast with full buffet of tasty choices. Only slight let down was cold showers in the morning....only stayed one night and water got hotter later, so don't know if this was a one off.

Disastrosa esperienza. 30 gradini alti e stretti vi accolgono dopo aver dovuto lasciare l'auto a circa 150 metri sulla strada. Receptionista che guarda la cartà d'identità come se non avesse mai vista una. Pulizia nelle camere indecente. Pulizia sui tavoli fatta in nostra presenza col tovagliolo usato dall'ospite precedente. Colazione nella norma, abbiamo rinunciato alla seconda dopo aver visto come si puliscono i tavoli. Posate adombrate di impronte peggio di un touch screan. Tre compagnie telefoniche sulle 4 che potevamo verificare non raggiungono la struttura. Idem per il wifi. Esiste ma dura pochi attimi. Acqua calda in condivisione con altri inquilini. Se si alzano prima vi lavate con acqua dei ghiacciai dell'Etna, che è comunque nota positiva, getto molto forte. Docce strettissime ed in pessime condizioni. Disastrous experience. 30 high steps and narrow welcome after having to leave the car about 150 meters on the road. Cleaning in rooms indecent. Cleaning tables made in our presence with the used towel from the previous guest. Breakfast in the standard, we gave up the second after seeing how clean the tables. Cutlery overshadowed fingerprint worse than a touch screan. No telephone no wifi. It exists but takes a few moments. Hot water shared with other tenants. If they get up before you, you must wash with water from the Etna's glaciers.

Very nice host, offers special sicilian dinner. The B&B is located in a very beautiful old and cosy town with narrow streets and lots of stairs. A nice walking tour around the sights in town is guided by information tables. The B&B itself is easy to find due to good signs on the main streets. There are lots of free parking spaces around the corner. Its about 30 min by car to the etna and around 10 min to gole alcantara. The rooms are clean and cosy in several small houses around some balconies and terasses. The dining room is as cosy as the rest of the B&B.

Très déçus par cette chambre d hôte .. Propriétaire peu accueillant des lors que nous lui avons indiqué que nous ne prenions pas le repas chez lui .. Literie non confortable ... Petit déjeuner limite ... Chambre d hôte située a l entrée d' un village typique .... Nous avons fait le tour de la sicile et c est l hôtel le plus décevant que nous ayons fait ..

Sehr interessante Stadt

Our family of four stayed for ten days in two rooms in the main part of this rustic B&B. Our rooms were clean , comfortable and had balconies with great views. The other rooms are spread out and may involve several flights of stairs so may not be suitable for the elderly or infirm. Breakfast was good with a wide selection of pastries, cheese and cold meat. The fresh orange juice and coffee were great The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. We specifically booked a B&B with internet access as it was important for our son & daughter to catch up on revision. Unfortunately, the internet connection was very hit and miss. Another issue was the thin walls. - even normal pitched sound travels far. I suppose there is only so much that can be done given the age of the B&B. The noise was not too much of an issue with us but might bother other light sleepers. The atmosphere around the B&B is peaceful and calm and we enjoyed the hooting of owls at night. Despite the two negatives, we would highly recommend a visit to the B&B to enjoy typical Sicilian life. The village itself is beautiful and has lovely walks and views.

non è facile trovare... quindi chiamate valentino che sarà disponibile

Goede verzorging, zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam ruime goed verzorgde kamer maar kleine bad en toiletruimte, goed buffet ontbijt en uitmuntende keuken!

Eenvoudige bed en breakfast waar je als de zon schijnt heerlijk kan vertoeven op een van de balkonnetjes of buiten zitjes. Kamer van ons was heel gehorig, als je op de bovenste verdieping zit heb je hier geen last van. Ontbijt simpel, maar voor Italiaanse begrippen goed. Je kan er dineren, prima maar prijzig voor daar (euro 20 pp inclusief wijn). Voor de deur parkeren kan idd niet, maar in de buurt is geen probleem. Probeer ook niet voor de deur te komen want dan raak je verstrikt in de vele smalle straatjes van het dorpje. Auto om de omgeving te verkennen is hier geen overbodige luxe. Taormina is aanrader, super gezellig stadje. Ga ook vooral alle kleine, van buiten niets zeggende winkeltjes in, want daar vind je de lekkerste belegde broodjes en zelf gemaakte kazen zoals ricotta. Vanaf het kasteel in Castiglione di Sicilia hebje een prachtig uitzicht op de omgeving en de Etna en op donderdag is er een kleine markt van 8.00 tot 13.00 waar de plaatselijke bevolking te vinden is en waar oa vers gebrande pistache nootjes te koop zijn.

Die nicht alle in einem Gebäude gelegenen Zimmer des B&B Santa Caterina liegen im Hang, verbunden über Treppen, für Bewegungseingeschränkte nicht geeignet. Der Service ist sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit (Vielen Dank an Rosario!!!) und das Frühstück reichlich und sehr schmackhaft mit frisch gepresstem Blutorangensaft und leckeren Croissants/selbst gebackenem Kuchen usw. Sensationell war das nach Vereinbarung zubereitete mehrgängige typisch sizilianische Abendessen. Immer frisch mit hiesigen Zutaten. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
