Guest Reviews
- Katarina (1/5): - Das einzige positive ist die Lage direkt am Meer. Die ist wirklich wunderschön. Auch das wird aber vom herumliegenden Müll zunichte gemacht. Schade, es würde so wenig reichen.... Sonst ist diese Unterkunft eine reine Karastrophe. In dem Haus kann dem Gast überhaupt NICHTS gefallen. Die Ausstattung ist aus den 60-ger Jahren des letzten Jh., alles total abgenutzt. Das Küchengeschirr ist nicht gebrauchbar!!! (s. Bilder anliegend). Keine Kaffeemaschine (eine alte Bialetti Mokka Maschine gibt es zwar, die war aber so dreckig, dass man sie nicht mal anfassen wollte). Im Bad nur Schimmel, keine Küchenuntensilien... ich könnte noch lange über diese Horrorunterkunft schreiben. Bitte nie buchen!!! Wir waren auf der Durchreise auf unserer Sizilien-Reise, so haben wir es irgendwie ausgehalten, bei der Vorstellung, dass hier eine Familie mit Kindern Sommerurlaub machen würde, war mir schlecht! Es würde den ganzen Urlaub verderben. Und der Vermieter: den haben wir gar nicht gesehen. Hat nur über whatsapp kommuniziert und auch das ziemlich frech. Und komischerweise wollte er gar nicht unsere Ausweise sehen, d.h er hat uns gar nicht angemeldet. NIE WIEDER!!!
- Simona04 (8/5): - Posizione spettacolare, proprio sul mare e alloggio grande e ben distribuito Bagno da sistemare
- pifano (8/5): -
- Susann (9/5): - Der Blick zum Meer.
Grösse der Wohnung. Dusche ist mit schwarzem Schimmel unten übersät.
Matratzen sind durchgelegen, sodass man seitlich nicht liegen konnte ohne die Federn zu spüren. Aua.
Küchenausstattung wenig.
Sehr hellhörig.
- Herbert (9/5): Schönes Appartement mit toller Lage - Wir hatten eine Dachgeschosswohnung Die Lage ist traumhaft. Direkt am Strand, Blick auf Meer und Ätna. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig, wer Trubel will ist hier falsch. Lokale sind fußläufig zu erreichen, Supermarkt war leider im Oktober schon geschlossen. Der nächste war in ca. 6 km Entfernung.
Die Wohnung war sehr geräumig und auch sauber. Die Betten (auch die Ausziehcouch) waren gut.
Der Vermieter war jederzeit erreichbar, hat bei Stromausfall auch sofort reagiert. Die Wohnung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, könnte etwas renoviert werden, vor allem das Bad. Die Terrassentür konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden. Küchenausstattung ist etwas dürftig. Eine Kaffekanne oder einfache Kaffeemaschine wäre schön, die Bialetti ist etwas klein.
- Tomasz (5/5): - Bliskość morza. Kiepskie wyposażenie kuchni - zdarte patelnie. W apartamencie dla 5 osób był 1 kieliszek. Cieknąca słuchawka prysznica. Grzyb w kabinie prysznicowej. Brak zestawu kosmetyków który był w ofercie.
- Marcin (9/5): Cudowna lokalizacja!!! - Z okna widać i morze i Etne. Zejście do morza pod nosem, darmowy parking. Dostaliśmy 2 leżaki i parasol, do tego 2 dmuchańce. Mała kuchnia ale wyposażona, nawet lód był w zamrażarce. Parę rzeczy troche nie działało (klima w jednym pokoju, czasem wypadające drzwi) ale właściciel chętny był do szybkiej reakcji i naprawy, a sama lokalizacja tak wyjątkowa, ze rekompensowała wiele. Duża łazienka, wielki taras ze stołem. 30 metrów od noclegu osiedlowy sklepik. Bardzo polecamy, jeśli zależy komuś na lokalizacji, widoku na morze i Etne. W najbardziej nasłonecznionym pokoju przez 3 dni nie działała klimatyzacja, co zostało naprawione. Drzwi jednego pokoju zaklejone na taśmę bo wypadały. Poza tym ok.
- Salvatore (6/5): - Die Unterkunft ist in eine guten Lage direkt am Strand ! Für 4 Personen maxima reicht es aus Zu viele Ameisen in der Wohnung! Als man geduscht hat dann hat es komisch gerochen das Wasser und es kam sehr langsam raus
- Agatino (8/5): - Die Lage,super Aussicht auf Meer Die Sanitäter, Armaturen im Bad und Küche sehr abgenutzt und schwer zu bedienen
Lampen an der Decke schmutzig
- Kepic (9/5): - Super gostitelj in top lokacija, stanovanje je čisto in prostorno. Zmotilo nas je edino to, ker je bilo v kuhinji zelo malo pripomočkov in pa pralni stroj bi bilo potrebno zamenjati, saj je že poln rje.
- Raluca Maria (9/5): -
- Larysa (9/5): - Es war eins der schönsten Ferienwohnungen die ich je gebucht hatte.. wunderschöne Aussicht, alles war perfekt.
Grazie mille, Savo!
- Kinsella (9/5): -
- Mario (9/5): - L'appartamento è comodo e spazioso, con accesso diretto alla spiaggia. Nelle vicinanze si trovano due minimarket, una pescheria, bar e ristoranti vari. Il proprietario è una persona disponibile e sempre reperibile in caso di necessità. Nulla da dire.
- Denisa (9/5): -
- Jurgita (5/5): Disappointed - Good location, sea view. At first sight, the apartment looked fine, but in reality we were disappointed. The furniture and equipment are old, the bathroom sink was clogged, and there was mold in the shower. The kitchen appliances are old, the dishes, especially glasses were not properly cleaned, and the whole apartment was poorly maintained. Mattresses were very uncomfortable, and one person didn’t even get a bedding set. The lamps were dirty, and there were no basic supplies such as garbage bags or enough toilet paper (only 1.5 rolls for 4 people for 4 nights). The sound insulation is extremely poor, so it’s hard to rest.
The only real advantage is the location right by the sea. Unfortunately, it is clear that minimal effort has been invested in guests’ comfort. The apartment really needs new furniture, proper cleaning, and basic equipment upgrades to ensure a comfortable stay.
- Laura (9/5): Panorama spettacolare. - L'appartamento ha una vista spettacolare sulla spiaggia libera. Svegliarsi la mattina con il rumore delle onde non ha prezzo. Il proprietario molto gentile e disponibile. La posizione è perfetta, vicino ad alimentari e bar. Avevamo a disposizione anche un ombrellone e due sdraio da portare in spiaggia. L'unica cosa che mi sento di consigliare è di dotare la cucina di qualche suppellettile in più...insomma fornirla di più di bicchieri, pentolame e tovagliato. Per il resto tutto ottimo.
- Stefania (7/5): Bello ma… - Posto incantevole, direttamente affacciata sul mare con uscita sulla spiaggia. Ottimi i servizi forniti (ombrellone, sdraio, lavatrice, cucina attrezzata) Quello che ha rovinato la mia vacanza sono stati i vicini, maleducati ed invadenti; sembravano ci fossero solo loro a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte…
- LUIGI (9/5): Ottimo appartamento sul mare - Ottima organizzazione.Ottimo check in,appartamento in buone condizioni Neanche una zanzariera,è stato un massacro
- Posillipo (10/5): -
- Rosario (8/5): -
- nadia (9/5): - Mansarda con doppia esposizione, una con vista mare da terrazza molto bella e l'altra con vista sull'Etna Poca attrezzatura in cucina e la mancanza dello scola pasta...
Inoltre in cucina c'erano le formiche.
Andrebbe fatta una pulizia più accurata
- Iva Raccuiova (9/5): -
- Arkadiusz Lis (9/5): - Bezpośredni dostęp do morza.
- chiara (5/5): - La vicinanza al mare. Pessima la pulizia dell'alloggio. Scomodissimo il divano letto che si ribalta ogni volta che ci si siede.
- Fiona (6/5): Big apartment but things broken, shower dirty poorly equipped kitchen stony Beach and not many places open in the town a - Property is spacious, these is big balcony with beach view. Walkable to restaurants although many were closed and do not seem to open until mid June. The Heavy wooden Toilet seat was broken and hit us on the back every time we used it (two ladies) which was very unpleasant. The balcony table was broken with a leg about to fall off making it difficult to move.
Shower was somewhat dirty which was unpleasant.
The door key was cracked and we couldn’t open it a few times. We were only provided with one key between two people which made it somewhat inconvenient.
To enter the apartment block door you had to launch yourself at the door with all your weight to open it resulting in falling into the hallway at speed which was somewhat dangerous and unacceptable. I had to call the owner on the first night as we were locked out of the block not realising how much force we had to use to get in the door.
Very disappointed that at the start of the season the apartment had broken items - this poor care and attention to detail about the comfort of guests in the apartment.
No apartment information booklet in the apartment they didn’t even give us the Wi-Fi code. I had to contact the owners for the simplest things.
The owners were however very keen to tell us when we would be charged extra i.e. charged €30 to check-in at 20h30. Also if we lost (or left it in the apartment) the one and only door key there was a €30 charge to be let into the apartment.
Also beware you have to pay €5 a day to use their garage for a car so we parked on the street.
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, we had everything we need
- Ganna (7/5): Good choice as a base to explore Sicily if you are on a budget - Location just at the beach. Easy arrival. No problems with parking - free parking at the street nearby (beginning of May). Efficient and prompt communication with the host. Comfortable beds, separate bedroom and a sofa bed in the main room. Nice sea view terrace with big table for meals with four chairs, two deckchairs, a sunshade. Good wi-fi. Good price - quality ratio. Ideal option to stay if your budget is limited, but you would still like to explore more of Sicily (which is not cheap - travel, entrance fees,...). The apartment is rather basic. It is attic and one needs to bend over to fit the terrace door (unless one is very short or is a kid), one also needs to bend over to use the toilet. There was also damp smell in the bathroom. Otherwise, the place is quite spacious, the building is well maintained, we felt safe, and all functions as expected.
- Raff (10/5): A peaceful, spotless, and comfortable stay with a fantastic host—highly recommended. - The property was spotless, spacious, and full of natural light, with patios and balconies on both sides that made it feel really open and airy. It was peaceful—you could hear the sea and watch the fishermen heading out. The air conditioning worked well, and the internet was fast—perfect for working or relaxing. The local area was quiet but charming, with friendly shops and cafés nearby. Most importantly, the host was fantastic—really helpful, friendly, and went out of his way to assist me, including arranging a taxi back to the airport. A big thank you to him. There was nothing I didn’t like about the property itself. The only minor issue was mosquitoes, but that’s just part of the environment. Also, since it was off-season, the area was quite quiet and a few places were closed—but that also added to the peaceful vibe.
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional - Great place and great location
- Mihaela (9/5): Wonderful accomodation - A very comfortable apartment with all the facilities we needed. it is located a few meters away from the beach. -
- Aleksandar (9/5): Very pleasant stay - Beachfront location
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is just next to the beach. Also there was no problem with parking on the street in front of the building. The market and some restaurants are very close. The view to Etna on one side and to the beach on the other side is exceptional. The isolation between other rooms is not the best. If someone speaks very loud you can hear each word. But we didn't have any issues with that.
- Viorica (9/5): Superb - Large apartment (we booked the one on the second floor), equipped with everything you need, a big balcony with very nice view, nice host, even sun-beds and umbrella were provided by the host in order to use them on the public beach. Also there is a private beach nearby. There are restaurants in a fee minutes walk distance and you can visit by car plenty of eastern coast towns being located here (eg. Taormina is half an hour driving) It can be a bit noisy in the morning, because of the bell tower nearby and only few people speak english in that region and its quite difficult to have a conversation
- Klimentina (10/5): Perfect location, perfect apartments - The apartments are specious, wide, located right on the beach, and have large terraces with a sea view. Each apartment comes with two sunbeds and an umbrella for free. Shops and restaurants are just steps away. The host is very responsive. The apartmends need mosquito nets. Beach is very crowded during the weekends.
- Bogdan (7/5): I do not recommend - The balcony overlooking the sea. Crumbling walls, sofa that smells and doesn't allow you to sit on it due to damage, no coffee maker, beach only with stones, paid extra for late check in, no insect nets.
- Oleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible view, everything that is needed available, path to the beach is directly from the building. Very comfortable bed.
- Katia (10/5): Exceptional - We had a long stay and it was great. We loved our big appartment with great views! Everything was fine. Hope to come back soon.
- Robert (7/5): lots of space, friendly responsive staff good base to explore the area. - directly on the beach. rooms a good size, air conditioning worked well when we needed it. Balcony great for relaxing and eating. washing machine worked well. easy check in and out. close to shop and somewhere to eat. deck chairs and umbrella for the beach. good location to explore the area. Parking garage entrance very steep so we opted to park on the street didn't look easy to get in and out. The apartment feels it needs a little TLC, shower not very powerful (water was hot after a request to boost). shutters don't all work. kitchen is basic, no wine glasses just tumblers. no beach towels which as we flew would of been useful even if an extra charge. Pebble beach (take water shoes) and rough waves meant we didn't swim as much as we wanted to.
- Paula (9/5): Superb - Location was excellent although we did come very early in the season so there wasn't much open in the immediate vicinity. Iceberg cafe was excellent being so close for much needed coffee and pastries! Everything was perfect 👌
- Nefretiri (9/5): Amazing property with exceptional view! - The property has an amazing view right from the balcony and living area. It was clean and had all the basics required. Easy access to the beach from within the property and there is free parking on the street. We went in March and the area was nice and quiet. Restaurants and supermarkets within close reach. The doors and windows block the outside noise. The mattress was hard to my liking. Apart from a bed sheet there was a blanket, however it would be could to have a quilt which can easily be washed like the sheets for hygienic purposes.
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. Nice view. Apartment is on the beach. Owner is very helpful
- Mihai (9/5): Superb -
- Panagiotis (8/5): Very good -
- Roop (9/5): Nice apartment, great view, near restaurants. I recommend to stay there with (rental) car, easier to get everywhere. - Nice apartment with THE view. Owner was nice and cooperative. Good food places on the same street. Groucery shop over the street. Bigger shop Spar is in Mascali, ab 2km away. From the Mascali you can take the bus or train to Taormina and Giardini Naxos. Be careful not to miss them in the evening or on the weekends, taxi is very expencive if you find it at all. Apartment needs a little bit of light renovation here and there. Quite hard mattress, we used blanket to soften it. Looks like italians wake early and get to work - beach bar workers worked very early, worked, drove with tracktor ect. The apartment has good windows, didnt mind the working noises when we shut the windows.
- Ales (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hanna (10/5): Great apartment right at the beach. - The apartment is located right at the beach. Beautiful view from the window. The apartment was very spacious. We were 4 adults and there were 2 separate bedrooms and a living room. Huge terrace. Very responsive owner. He also let us use the underground garage for free, although there’s plenty of space to park on the street. The beach was not crowded at all. In the city there are several supermarkets. The Wi-Fi is also fast enough, if you work remotely. It would be nice to have some cooking basics, like salt, pepper oil. Also, while we were staying, there were construction works going on on the beach, but that is something that the owners cannot control.
- Agnes (10/5): perfect - I can only say good things about the flat. It is very, very big, very cosy and well equipped. The restaurants and grocery shops are close by. I especially liked the panorama.
We felt very comfortable here. Thank you Salvo.
I can only recommend it. We were very satisfied. Thank you very much!
Grazie mille! Alla prossima!

- Judit (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is in the high street of a small resort. It is very clean, spacious and comfortable. The view of the sea is wonderful. We stayed there in May so not many shops or restaurants were open but not far there is a great place to have breakfast. I didn't like the blanket with a sheet solution which is usual in many countries but in my country we put the blanket into a case. It's more hygenic. In the balcony there weren't cushions on the metal chairs, they were cold to sit on.
- Andzela (9/5): Superb -
- Paulina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mirketz (10/5): Exceptional - Omg, the best accomodation in Sicily. You have the feeling that you are at home. The location is just perfect, first row to the beach. Also, the place is isolated from main roads, so it's very calm, but with restaurants, shops and gas station right next to you.
I recommend Casa Samira if you plan to stay just here, but also if you plan to explore Sicily by car, because it's very well located.
The owner was very nice and helpful.
See you soon
- Senarathana (7/5): Good - Location Bed
- Ikbale (7/5): Good -
- Olga (9/5): Superb - We loved to stay in this apartment, which is spacious and quite large for a couple. It suits well for a family stay with kids. The apartment is on the seaside - very convenient, especially when smth is planned for a day and there is only a limited time for a short swim. Meeting sunrise is possible just from the balcony. The location is close to Taormine - a highly recommended beautiful tourist city.
Very helpful, hospitable and supportive hosts. Mosquitos. They didn't let us sleep at night.
Also because of mosquitos it was not possible to sit outside on a balcony in the evening.
Maybe mosquitos are seasonal.
- Gilbert (8/5): Nice place by the beach - Spacious & practical apartment, strong wifi, beautiful view! Took a long time for the water to heat up.
- Oleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location. Individual door to beach. Terrace with view on the seashore from one side and the balcony with Etna view from another side. Bikes are available for free. Little market is hear and very good restaurant just in from of the house.
