• Eduardo Angel (10/5): Súper agradable!!! - Andrea es un anfitrión de lujo, está para ayudar siempre y aconsejar respecto de la ciudad y las excursiones. Habla muy bien el castellano. Para nosotros todo muy bien.
• Maria Giovanna (10/5): - La vicinanza a tutto Niente
• Elzbieta55 (8/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja w samym centrum,krotki spacer do głównych atrakcji miasta i przystanku.Alibusa którym w 20 min można dojechac do lotniska,wygodne duże łóżko ładna elegancka łazienka pachnące ręczniki wygodne szafy smaczne urozmaicone śniadanie ładny widok z małego balkonu na Via Etnea i cicho przy zamkniętym.oknie balkonowy..Bardzo miły i uprzejmy właściciel Andrea ktory jest dostępny przez cały czas co daje poczucie bezpieczeństwa Przy dłuższych pobytach przydatna by była mała lodówka w pokoju
• ENILDA (10/5): Ótima opção de hospedagem - Localização perfeita, café disponível todo o tempo, Andrea super atencioso, nos apoiou com as malas e nos orientou em todo o tempo!!
• Solveig Benedicte (10/5): Svært hyggelig sted - Rent rom. Meget sentralt. Veldig hyggelig vert, Andrea. Akkurat som forventet!
• Anna (9/5): Fajne miejsce na krótki pobyt, właściciele bardzo życzliwi i pomocni - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja w środku via Etna, wszędzie blisko i w zasięgu spaceru Przez zamknięte okna było słychać szum ulicy
• Michel (9/5): -
• EMANUEL (10/5): It's a great location! - The breakfast is more than an Italian one. It is almost continental. And the most interesting thing, which I have not encountered in ANY HOTEL, the buffet is available 24/24 hours. The location is in the old center, with access on foot to most of the tourist attractions, and by bus to and from the central station and the airport. Also as a tourist attraction is Taormina, where you can get by bus that takes 1 1/4 hours and costs only 5 euros. As you are on the balcony of the room, the airport, the port or Taormina the ETNA VOLCANO that "breathes" watches over you from everywhere. Nice! What a short vacation it was! :)

• Enrico (8/5): -
• Anna (10/5): - Obiekt w centrum miasta przy głównej ulicy. Doskonała lokalizacja do zwiedzania miasta. W środku jak na lokalizacje cicho - bardzo dobrze wyciszone okna oraz co należy dodać ulica jest wyłączona z ruchu kołowego (tylko autobusy, taxi i samochody dostawcze). Pokój bardzo czysty, łóżka wygodne. Przemiły i bardzo pomocny właściciel. nic
