Guest Reviews
- Just on (8/5): -
- Eva (10/5): Eine wirklich schöne Erfahrung - wenn wir wieder nach Catania kommen, werden wir wieder bei Massimo bleiben. - Bezaubernder Gastgeber! Tolle Aussicht! Genügend nah am Zentrum. -
- Annick (10/5): - Massimo est une belle personne , le jour de notre arrivée il nous a commander des pizzas et le jour de notre départ il nous a appeler un taxi. Toujours un grand sourire et est là quand on a besoin de quelques choses, de conseils ou autre , malgré la barrière de la langue nous avons réussi à bien communiquer et à nous faire comprendre
- petra (8/5): Gut geschlafen, für mich gerade das wichtigste - Sauber, bequem, schöne Aussicht, netter Besitzer Ohne Auto nicht zu empfehlen.
- Maryia (9/5): great place - The hotel owner was very kind and helpful. We arrived on Boxing Day when everything was closed, and he drove us in his own car to the shop and to get food. That really saved us, especially in the cold weather. Thank you so much again!
The warm pool, two types of coffee in the room, and the beautiful view were also amazing - special thanks for that!
- Giuseppe (9/5): -
- Giovanni (8/5): Wenn Mariella da ist, kann es nur ein toller Urlaub werden. Massimo war während unseres Aufenthalts nicht da, daher kann - Mariella hat sich aufmerksam und freundlich um uns gekümmert. Diskret genug und doch gesellig, dank ihr haben wir uns wohl gefühlt. Ich möchte lieber keinen Kommentar abgeben.
- aoife (9/5): - Pool view.comfortabke bed Noise one night .location need a car .no shops nearby
- Ylenia (10/5): -
- Magdalena (10/5): Idealne miejsce na wypoczynek 10/10 - Super widok, czystość, prywatność i kontakt z właścicielem Nic
- SÍLVIA (10/5): - En Massimo és un gran amfitrió. El millor quan arribes cansat a la nit i t’espera la piscina climatitzada amb vistes a Catània i a l’Etna. Hem estat molt a gust. Sens dubte si tornem a Catània ens allotjarem aquí.
- Krzysztof (10/5): - Wonderful stay! The property offers a beautiful view of both Mount Etna and the sea. The room with private bathroom was clean and comfortable, and the swimming pool is just a few steps away, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Massimo and his family are very kind and welcoming, which makes the atmosphere even nicer. To truly enjoy Sicily, having a car is highly recommended – parking near the property is always convenient.
Grazie di cuore a Massimo e alla sua famiglia per l’ospitalità!
- Wei (10/5): - The pool just outside the room is very nice, has a great view of the city, and Massimo is of great service to any wishes you may have. The room and bathroom are very clean and modern. Parking spots are available in the street. Be aware there can be visitors of the pool in the evening, but they were not of a disturbance to us. Also our apartment didn't have a kitchen, look closely at the description, not only at the pictures as we did. :)
- isabelle (8/5): -
- RNGP (10/5): - Objetivamente las instalaciones están impecables y la piscina es lo mejor.
Además el sitio es muy tranquilo y familiar.
El plus es el anfitrión, una persona encantadora que se preocupó en todo momento por nuestra comodidad y tuvo un montón de detalles con nosotros....Nos invitó/ofreció a una ración de pasta cuando llegamos/spa/café.... Nada
- Johanna (10/5): - Such a great atmosphere. Massimo looked after us so well and even used google translator to keep the conversation going. Suggestions for dinner were amazing. Enjoyed the planet marina as a place to get our first taste of sicilian raw fish and delicacies
Wonderfull apartments in a very private setting Walking to and from destinations although could take car. Lack of taxi fascilitation unless in more central location
- Worldmycity (8/5): Very good -
- Maya (10/5): Amazing hosts. Your home away from home. - It was the owner who lives on sight that makes this place so special: from serving us espressos in the morning to making us Campari spritz’s after a long hot day, Massimo made sure we felt welcomed and pampered. Him and his wife also gave us some nice tips in the area. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, we could jump in the heated pool any time if day, and it was just two steps from our room. Perhaps that it was about a 30 minute (not so pretty) walk to the center of town.
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional - The experience in all was amazing best location and best stay in this wonderful propriety and the host massimo was very kind and very helpful … we really love our week here .
We gonna came back for sure
- Nowaczyk (10/5): Simply Perfect - Excellent holidays in that lovely and quiet place, and Massimo is a very kind, friendly and helpful person. He even booked our taxi back to the airport at 4:45 a.m!
Grazie mille Massimo!
- Štěpán (10/5): Great for couples, friends, definitely coming back - Mr Papalardo is great host, no problem with coming late (after 10pm). We took the top apartment, which was spectacular (rooms, view, pool, everything)
- Kuzman (9/5): Superb - The location is a bit far from the center, but for us this was an advantage, not a disadvantage. So we had a chance to explore a lot more of the city and walk around more. The host was very friendly and accommodating, and helped us arrange transportation to the airport (given our early flight). Everything was very good. We recommend this place, would love to visit again.
- Viktoriia (9/5): Superb -
- Cassiano (10/5): Exceptional - Everything but specially Massimo and his wife. Amazing people!
- Antonio (9/5): Sicilian hospitality at its best! 🫶 - spacious, silent, very comfortable! excellent host!!
