Guest Reviews
- Pascal (10/5): - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber in einer sehr netten Unterkunft
- Miroslaw (10/5): Warty polecenia - Apartament bardzo czysty sprzątany codziennie. Przemiła właścicielka bardzo blisko plaży i parking duzy Wszystko było ok
- Elmar (10/5): - Breakfast was fantastic
- Alban (9/5): - Abbiamo passato una notte presso il Giardino delle Meraviglie. Allocazione molto spaziosa, location molto comoda, ma soprattutto proprietari simpaticissimi e gentilissimi. Grazie per l'accoglienza calorosa!
- Raimund (10/5): Hervorragend - Große Wohnung, Strand Nähe,
Ein sehr gutes und umfangreiches Frühstück, vieles selbst gemacht.
Nette Besitzer
Herzlichen Dank für alles
- Külli (9/5): - Great location close to the sea In the kitchen lids for pot and pan would be helpful for cooking
- Maja (10/5): Nad pričakovanji. - Prijazni lastniki. Zelo zelo dober zajtrk. Imajo tudi nekaj živali, katere so lahko otroci božali. Vse je zelo lepo urejeno. Izgleda kot, da je umetnik doma in je uredil vrt in apartmaje. Dodatna postelja je bila zelo slaba.
- marco (10/5): - Tutto,a partire dalla gestione Familiare,ti fanno sentire proprio a tuo agio in tutto e per tutto.La struttura è ben curata,pulizia super,per chi vuole godersi proprio dei momenti di totale relax meglio di così proprio….poi vista panoramica dal balcone che si affaccia sul mare e ci si può godere il meraviglioso Vulcano Etna.La colazione poi,equivale già ad un pranzo con tutto il cibo che ti serve Francesca,la gentilezza e il sapersi prendere cura in ogni minimo dettaglio dell’ospite non è da tutti,grazie di vero cuore a voi tutti per l’ospitalità,l’accoglienza alla famiglia Alfieri,ci tornerò sicuramente!😍🙂 NULLA
- Roland (8/5): Sehr nette Gastgeber, gute Lage nahe am Stand und zum Städtchen. - Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig und speziell. Das Appartement war grosszügig und die Betten bequem. Es hatte kein Shampoo in der Dusche.
- Francesco (9/5): - Emplacement à 2minutes de la mer,calme.
Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux!
Personnel adorable,à l'écoute.
Professionnel
Chambre très propre!
Je recommande surtout en été vu la proximité avec la mer!
Merci
- Pavelfcs (7/5): -
- Zdenek (8/5): - Jednoduchý dojezd, parkování na ulici před domem
Ložnice + jídelna s kuchyňským koutem dostatečně velká
Kousek od moře, méně turistická destinace,možná i tím, že jsme tam byli po sezoně
Nicméně někomu to zrovna takto vyhovuje, i nám
- Bengt (10/5): - Very personal b&b close to the sea. Kitchen, terrace. Amazing garden created by the owner. Breakfast with all kinds of local specialities included. For dinner there was a good restaurant 10 min away along the beach. -
- Salvatore (9/5): Fantastico - Il giardino è molto bello grande e curato. Siamo stati accolti in un ambiente molto familiare come se fossimo amici o parenti.Colazione per tutti i gusti dal Dolce al salato abbondante forse anche troppo ma è giusto così perché non rimani mai deluso.il proprietario una persona veramente speciale cerca di accontentarti in tutto..
- Evaccì (10/5): - Proprietari splendidi e un luogo accogliente che li rappresenta. Siamo stati nel monolocale, ma vi consiglio di pagare il contributo a parte per la colazione, momento di vacanza con coccole dolci e salate, tutto preparato al momento con prodotti locali o di loro produzione. Il monolocale era pulito, con mobilio nuovo, molto funzionale anche per periodi lunghi. A due passi dalla spiaggia di Annà potete soggiornare in un'oasi ricca di vegetazione, tra sculture e oggetti particolari che la faranno sembrare uscita da un racconto. Andateci per una vacanza di mare, totale relax e chiacchiere in amicizia. Nulla.
- Henriette (9/5): Charming apartment with sea views and amazing breakfast - The apartment was roomy and has a wonderful balcony with sea views. Also it is close to the beach and close to the wonderful Pentedatillo. The family is very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was the best we have ever had in Italy!
- Max (4/5): Disappointing -
- Juliet (10/5): Lovely people, lovely stop. - The hosts are passionate about local culture and tradition and served a dynamo breakfast of local specialties.
- Ruth (5/5): Scary…a little unnerving. - Space was roomy. The exterior, reception area, barking dog, no wifi.
- Kathryn (10/5): Always a delight! - Breakfast is always a treat. Biagio and Francesca and their staff go out of their way to make sure breakfasts are delightful. And it is not unusual for them to provide some new taste treat to their menu. Plus, I love the cappuccino! The only thing that could have been better would have been if it wasn't so hot! Certainly not the fault of the B&B. I will just go again in September! Thank goodness for air conditioning!
- Francesco (8/5): Very good -
- Eddie (10/5): Holiday to Calabria - The staff are wonderful and friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. The breakfast is excellent if not a little too much 😋. When we arrived Francesca took us to Lidl to buy some food. The Railway station is a 10 minute walk although they will take you if you ask. We had a lovely 2 bed apartment with views across to Sicily and Mt Etna. The beach ⛱️ and bars are 2/3 minutes away as is a wonderful pizza restaurant. The beach is wonderful if not a little stoney.
- Mouryane (10/5): Stunning views and amazing people - The people and staff could not have been any more lovely, they treated us like family, and took us for a drive up to the old village which has some of the most stunning views I have ever seen.
The hosts actually live on site and they have animals including tortoises, a very tame rabbit which my daughter loved to hold and her favourite, Rex the beautiful German Shepherd, she loved it.
The apartment is very clean and is cleaned every day, a amazing buffet style breakfast is served every morning, my 5yr old was being picky and they went out of their way to make bread in a teddy bear shape so she would eat, which she did, and even asked if I could make it at home!
The location was absolutely beautiful, we had a sea view from our terrace and also a view of Mount Etna, we went at the start of May and there was only myself and my daughter on the beach everyday, so it was like having our own private beach which is a very short walk away at the end of the road.
I could not recommend this place enough, we absolutely loved our stay and hope to return, my 5yr old daughter even cried when we left as she didn't want to leave. There isn't really anything not to like
- Kathryn (10/5): Nine visits and more to come - The staff, food, apartment, the beautiful gardens, cleanliness, location, hospitality. There is nothing not to like. I have stayed at the B&B nine times since 2014. It is definitely my paradise. Biagio, Francesca, Demetrio, and Kevin, along with help from Massimo, are the kindest, most gracious, helpful, attentive hosts - better than any place I have ever stayed.
- Kathryn (10/5): It was awesome. - The breakfast at Il Giardino delle Meraviglie is outstanding. It is served on the patio under canvas canopies under the beautiful blue sky and warm sun. The food choices are never-ending, ranging from fruit and yogurt to local meats, cheeses, bruschetta, eggs, bacon, bread with olive oil and herbs, all kinds of cheese, fruit, jelly, and chocolate-filled sweet treats, and often a much welcome surprise --granita! Where else can you go and get ice cream for breakfast! And there is Francesca's cappuccino--Numero Uno, for sure. The staff is so helpful and gracious, everyone pitching into make sure the guests have a breakfast experience to remember.
The location and the grounds are amazing. It has become Il Mio Paradiso (my paradise). The apartment I stayed in is on the third floor (Apartment Etna) and has a perfect view of the Sea, which is just a stone's throw away, from the smaller bedroom and from the spacious terrazza. There are plants, trees, flowers, and herbs of every kind and color on the grounds, along with two ponds with colorful fish. Animals are in abundance--a horse, pony, donkey, doves, turtles, and pet dogs. Also, the B&B's proximity to Sicily, just across the Straits of Messina, afford a perfect view of Mt. Etna with its plume of smoke drifting across the sky.
If you want to use the B&B as a "base" and do some local traveling, they are so full of useful information on places to go and how to get there. Need a ride to the train station or airport? They will arrange that, too. There is nothing this beautiful family won't do to make their guests happy and feel at home. Evenings are spent chatting with the family in the garden, and maybe a beer, a glass of wine, or even a ciocolatta calda (hot chocolate) might appear out of nowhere. Did I mention that this was my eighth time to stay here? The only think I didn't like is the fact that I had to leave....
