Guest Reviews

• Andrea (9/5): Andrea - Struttura gradevole a due passi dal centro personale gentile ed accogliente la consiglio
• Andy (8/5): The shower was hot, there are a few places to eat and drink nearby and it will suit your needs. - It is a good place to crash out for the night or two. It is quiet, and the owner is very helpful. Just text him. He came out and met us after we struggled to find the place.
• Serena (10/5): - stanza molto pulita, caratteristica. Le mura in pietra sono suggestive, è un ambiente molto accogliente.
• Peter (6/5): Better for younger people ... - There was no breakfast. The room is fine and interesting. Smallish but not overly so. There are no facilities for coffee making or heating water as no jugs can be used. And no facility for heating food eg microwave etc. The owner did fill a thermos I had for coffee in the morning but it was fairly cold and water was luke warm in the morning! There is no parking near the premises as the streets are very narrow. You park somewhere a hundred to hundred and fifty meters away and carry your bags over cobblestones. As the location is on the top of a hill, streets are very steep. A young person not looking for glamour would handle this place fine. But not recommended for older people like us. I'm in my 70's. Struggled with bags despite the owner's son helping on arrival, no one to help when we left.
• Umberto (10/5): super in tutto - ​"Soggiorno perfetto, anche se solo per una notte. Struttura bellissima e curata in ogni dettaglio. Massimo è un host super professionale e la comunicazione con lui è stata ottima fin da subito. Tutto bene, tutto bello. Consigliatissimo!"
• Anne-Laure (9/5): Super séjour près du centre-ville, un excellent rapport qualitprix 👍🏻 - Très joli maisonnette en centre-ville. L’accueil est parfait et nous avons eu plein de conseil pour les repas à l’extérieur. Etant donné notre nombre de 5, il manquait juste un tire bouchon 😉 et une grande casserole pour les pasta italienne 👍🏻
• Jürgen (10/5): Gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis - Super Lage, gute Wegbeschreibung durch den Gastgeber, sehr schön eingerichtet Es gab nichts zu beanstanden
• Gisèle (10/5): - Posizione ottima, tranquillità
• Miceli (6/5): - La posizione La camera non ha finestre
• Angela (10/5): Truely amazing! - The host was very helpful in giving directions to the place and very fast and friendly in communication. The apartment is cozy and a great opportunity for an authentic stay in the historic downtown district.
• Anna (9/5): - Està situat en un petit poble prop de la Villa Romana. L'amfitrió va ser molt amable i atent, ens va proporcionar informació abans d'arribar de com entrar i on aparcar, ja que l'accés es a través de petits carrers. L'apartament es una petita casa dins del poble L'únic inconvenient és que el parament de cuina era insuficient
• Antonella (10/5): -
• Francisco Fernando (8/5): -
• Marcela (8/5): -
• Ale Fava. (10/5): - Casetta bellissima, caratteristica del posto e arredata con stile, totale disponibilità da parte del proprietario, lo consiglio veramente questo posto
• Miguel (7/5): -
• Garcia (10/5): Gran opción en Piazza Armerina - Excelente ubicación en el centro histórico de Piazza Armerina. Departamento pequeño pero bien equipado, confortable y lindo. Todo ok
• Tomáš (10/5): - Very pleasant accommodation in an authentic Sicilian house in a quiet street right in the city center. A good starting point for visiting the beautiful Villa Romana del Casale. The owner Massimo is very nice and willing to advise on travel and sightseeing. Thank you for everything!
• giaduccia85 (10/5): - Il propietario è super disponibile e ci ha dato un sacco di utili consigli. Appartamentino appena rimesso a nuovo molto carino, posizione ottima a due passi dal Duomo
• David (10/5): - Close to the centre. Car parking not far away in the square. Nice apartment. Provided a good travel cot and highchair for our baby (the later we didn't expect) Steep steps from apartment door with no door at top could be an issue if you had a small child who can walk. Just something to be aware of.
• Domenico (7/5): Adatta a giovani - Posizione Struttura e servizi
• OLGA (8/5): -
• Diamante (9/5): -
• Guido (10/5): -
• palop muñoz (10/5): cómoda, agradable y decoración con muy buen gusto - Que estaba en pleno casco antiguo
• Daria (8/5): - La posizione, la pulizia e la cortesia del gestore Stanza umida
• Noor (10/5): - Perfect for our one night stay. We came to visit the Villa Romana (very easy by shuttle bus, which leaves nearby on the main road). By staying right in the historical centrum, we had plenty of opportunity to also explore the ancient streets of Piazza Armerina. The appartement itself was also a nice historic building, but renovated with a modern bathroom, airconditioning etc, making it hard to believe that it was once a donkey stable! 🫏 The friendly owner had some good recommendations for food and other things to do in Sicily. Contact was very pleasant overall, we were given an early check in and the offer to leave our bags at the owners house across the street if we wanted to stay past check out.
• ANA MARIA (9/5): - Es un pueblo con mucho encanto. La parte en la que estuvimos es de trazado medieval que se conserva muy bien, con ambiente en la plaza del Duomo. La dificultad para circular por el pueblo. Dejamos el coche en una plaza y subimos andando, pero al irnos nos equivocamos y tuvimos que atravesar la parte antigua del pueblo.
• Cristiana (9/5): - Un piccolo alloggio, essenziale, ristrutturato e arredato con gusto giovane, al centro di Piazza Armerina, delizioso paese a 12 minuti dal sito archeologico Unesco Villa del Casale, famoso per i suoi mosaici. Il proprietario è stato sempre disponibile nel dare informazioni, sia di persona che al cellulare in caso di necessità. Abbiamo molto apprezzato il check-in in presenza con lui, senza la squallida chiave nascosta nel lucchetto automatico. Lo consiglio.
• Cusano (8/5): - La posizione ottima per girare il paese e anche comoda da raggiungere con la propria auto. Disposizione del mobilio: troppo grande per l'appartamento e quindi non ti muovi facilmente.
• emiliano (9/5): - buonissima posizione; struttura ammodernata in un contesto da centro storico
• Mellia michel (8/5): - Localisation parfaite pour découvrir la vieille ville Le frigo n’était pas branché Difficile de refroidir pour une seule nuitée
• Fabiola (10/5): - Posizione vicino alla Cattedrale, molto bella, molto silenzioso e pulito, proprietario gentilissimo e attento, comodo Niente, tutto perfetto
• Giulia (9/5): -
• Emanuele (9/5): Piazza Armerina, una bella ri-scoperta - La struttura ha tutti i confort necessari per una vacanza. Ci siamo trovati bene da tutti i punti di vista, dal tipo dei servizi, dal tipo di arredamento, dalla posizione strategica nel centro storico, dal silenzio circostante la struttura.
• Barillaro (8/5): -
• Nathan (10/5): Relax Stay - Perfect stay very relaxing place Nothing :)
• Piotr (10/5): Lovely night in lovely place - Stunning location and absolutely great owners!
• Adam (10/5): We felt like happy locals after just a few nights. Would come back again! - People make all the difference to an experience, and our host made our trip to Piazza Amerina ❤️. He was accessible by WhatsApp, warm and helpful via text and in person, enhancing our time in Sicily and suggesting ways to enjoy local and regional food and places. Having the little kitchen was great, wifi was solid, bed was comfy. Parking and driving instructions also helpful. A tiny, motion-controlled night-light on each of the staircases and in the bathroom would be a great addition to a lovely place.
• Salma (10/5): Very smooth and cozy - Cozy and comfortable Nothing
• mayela (10/5): - Buena opción, Massimo muy buen anfitrión.
• Denisk_nl (9/5): Superb - Cosy apartment made of stone, close to the center, good WiFi, parking nearby. A little rock town good for night walks
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Kasia (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic stay! Ideal location in Piazza Armerina, perfect for exploring. Rooms were clean and charmingly Sicilian. A friendly and welcoming host is providing lots of local tips. Everything ok
• Goda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brian (10/5): Brilliant - Lovely hosts, very comfortable and a great shower. Perfect location, highly recommend.
• Mihai (10/5): Ideal place in idyllic Piazza Armerina - Piazza Armerina is a very nice town and this guest house is located ideally in the middle of the historic center, within walking distance of a everything. The host was very polite, they were very flexible about our arrival time and gave us a lot of practical advice N/A everything was perfect
• Frascati (10/5): I have traveled the world and must say that if visiting Piazza Amerina you not find a better place to stay - cost depen - location, charm, quality, comfort, helpfulness of property manager/owner, incedible value, cleanliness N/A
• Tomasz (10/5): Exceptional - The property is very comfortable, in a quiet surrounding. We were very pleased with all the amenities, how the owners took care of us, and the amazing restaurant nearby! Just beware not to arrive here in a large car. We've had a lot of problems to move around with ours and we ended up scratching it trying to leave for Villa Romana del Casale - not a disadvantage of the property, just bad planning on our side :)
• Bárbara (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. The apartment was very beautyfull and confortable,and the best thing was the owner,Who helped us with everything and gave a lot of good recomendations Very recomendable
• Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Traditional house in the historic city centre. The owner was super friendly and gave us suggestions for where to eat, but also for the continuation of our journey in Sicily.
• Marilyn (10/5): A lovely little place in the old town centre. - Massimo was an excellent communicator and gave us perfect directions to the property. We like the fact that it was right in the centre of the old town, with a lot of character. Near the main square, and bars and restaurants. We were very pleased with our stay
• Jonathan (10/5): Massimo is the nicest guy ever. -
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent place to stay. Super cute and comfortable. The host was very friendly and helpful. I recommend! Nothing we didn' like, all was excellent.
• Mike (9/5): A nice comfortable period house in a nice quiet part of the historic old town. - A nice comfortable house with 2 bedrooms (one utilises the living room, the other is upstairs in the mezzanine) situated in the old historic part of town. Free on street car parking a two minute walk away. Once you are inside the property there are 8-10 steep steps to climb up to the living space. Might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
• Roger (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was really great. The owner was very friendly and gave us heaps of suggestions of where to eat and things to see. The house is very quaint and comfortable. We thoroughly recommend staying here. The location is perfect to walk the old town streets, even at night, we felt very safe. The town is really pretty and has so much character. We have no complaints. A word of advice is to follow the owners instructions to get to the house.
• Michael (10/5): Good value stay - Clean & comfortable in a good location to explore the old town of Piazza Armerina.
• Cláudia (9/5): Charming house in the heart of Piazza - Charming and warm house, in the heart of Piazza Armerina, we could reach everything on foot. The owners were very nice and helpful and the house was well equipped and clean. Highly recommend it. The water in the shower doesn't stay warm for long. Rushed showers adviced.
• Gary (10/5): Two nights in a great room, centrally, located, and close to what I was looking for - Roomy, comfortable, love the mix of the old and the new. Centrally located for what I wanted to do. Host was excellent and quite helpful Nothing
• Rachel (10/5): Very pleasant. Massimo was helpful, kind and available. The room was charming,clean and comfortable. - The host, Massimo was extremely helpful and lived right opposite the property so if anything was needed it was easy to communicate and meet him. The place was comfortable and really close to everything we needed, We didnt really plan to spend a lot of time in the property but once we were there it was comfortable and settled all our needs, There could have been more toilet paper but there was a bidet in the bathroom which was a huge plus! Some cups and an electric kettle to make some coffee/team would have been a nice addition too.
• Eirini (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great!! Thank you very much for this experience!!
• Annie (7/5): Piazza Armerina was a wonderful spot to base ourselves for a week in Sicily. - very helpful host and we had everything we needed, location was only a short walk to restaurants, cafe and shops. parking was nearby and free. pictures of the apartment on the site and what we actually had did not appear to be the same which makes me think there is another property? possibly worth checking before you book.
• Stephen (8/5): Well located property, ideal for a short visit to Piazza Armorina. - Very responsive host who was available for every enquiry. La Casetta has been imaginatively converted from an old stable in an ancient building, very convenient for the Piazza Duomo and the rest of town. An excellent location for a visit to Piazza Armorina. Nothing.
• Michelle (10/5): A lovely little stay for the summer months when it is so hot outside. Stays cool and dark so sleeping is easy. - Perfect location. Very cool and comfortable.
• Jacques (10/5): Exceeptional apartment in Centro Storico of Piazza Armerina - The owner is very friendly and allowed us to check in early. The apartment is well equipped and was very clean. Excellent location in the old town close to the cathedral. Grazie mille Piera e Massimo!
• Kathryn (7/5): Would recommend - We swapped to the ground floor apartment and it was good, clean. Landlord lovely and helpful. Good restaurant up the street in the main square opposite the Cathedral. Not much around by way of eateries and any retail shopping.
• Peter (9/5): Superb - It is well located in the historic centre of Piazza Armerina, about 200 metres from tbe Duomo. It is quiet. Not far from shops. Tbe room itself is nicely decorated. In this lower apartment there is no kitchen. Bathroom and shower good. Massimo the owner kindly gave me a lift from tbe bus station. I liked the apartment, and have stayed there twice. My only suggestion would be to provide a means for guests to make coffee or tea in the apartment.
• Marianne (7/5): Bed and room great even w/o window, Breakfast 'go get your own'. - Cute place and extremely well designed. I asked repeatedly if we had to walk. The question was ignored which made it difficult for us since we had to make 3 trips (we have a cat with paraphernalia) and at age 75 that is a reasonable question. What we really didn't like was the lack of outdoor light, and that the B"&B" means that you have to go somewhere to get morning coffee and breakfast. I like mine right there! That should have been mentioned in the description (a problem in several properties): 'breakfast off-property'. These were the reasons we told them we would stay only one night. However, the room itself, bathroom, bed, decorations etc were wonderful!
• Lorraine (10/5): Small and perfectly formed, and great value, recommend staying here for its authenticity. - Very clear instructions about how to get to the property, very near Cathedral and short drive to Villa Del Casale so we got there bang on opening before lots of coach tours and large school groups. We were not aware of getting instructions about not using google maps when leaving and we nearly went an impossible route but for a very helpful local man who stopped us from making a bad decision. Small point we should have worked it out
• Jim (10/5): Everything was perfect, it was very nice with the host, the village is very beautiful -
• Roberto (8/5): Very good -
• Daniel (10/5): Authentic slice of Sicilian life - We booked this stay last minute and were able to check in right away. The thing I liked most about this little apartment was that it felt like an authentic Sicilian city home. The location was fantastic - 2 minutes walk to each the cathedral, portrait gallery, castle, city museum and antique book library.
• Miika (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was lovely gem! Wonderfullly decorated and the host was welcoming and lovely. Heating available and comfortable beds! Would definitely recommend! All was good!
• Greta (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming and flexible with our slight delay in check-in. Helpful with information about the area, especially the drive in and parking which google maps was confused about. Interesting and old part of town very near the Duomo, but also close to restaurants and shops. Great overnight after visiting the Villa Romana del Casale.
• Ildiko (10/5): very nice appartment, perfect hospitality! - very clean, very nice, well designed, nice bathroom, very kind host, many information for toutists!
• Michael (9/5): Be adventurous and stay in a traditional place in the old town - Traditional, close to the centre of the old town. Nothing, it’s such good value
• Wieske (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely house with all you need for a comfortable stay in beautiful and friendly Piazza Armerina. The Villa Romana de Cazale is a must see on a trip to Sicily. Good recommendations for food from the hosts. Early check-in was possibel. Good information on WhatsApp.
• Uros (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (9/5): Comfortable, cozy and uncomplicated - The location is very central. Booking was very easy and the host got right in touch with after the booking in order to arrange to give me the keys. He gave very helpful advice for dinner.
• Nivalda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hui-chung (10/5): Exceptional -
• Florian (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, only 2 minutes from cathedral. Very nice ambiente. Nice host who enabled us an early check-in. Free parking only 1 minute away. Very good value for the money.
• Laura (8/5): Sicilian life! - A real taste of Sicilian life in Piazza Armerina and exceptional value!
• Michaela (7/5): Good - It was cheap It didn't have any breakfast facilities but good for two night stay.
• Fabio (7/5): A nice short stay in a renewed stall in the historical center of Piazza Armerina - The owner is absolutely kind and flexible. The property is typical, clean, and in the historical center, a few minutes walking from the Cathedral. The property is a old stall totally renewed. I would appreciate if in the description was highlighted that there is no window but the entry door. Some details could be improved in order to make the location even better. For instance the fridge could be placed under the TV set, even though this choice requires to replace the table where the tv is placed, and not along the way to the bed. Under the bathroom sink there is a sort of box which makers uncomfortable the bidet. As a said: minor elements
• Vic (9/5): Lovely family apartment in the very centre of town - Make sure to follow instructions from Massimo, don’t follow the GPS. It will take you into small and tight roads. Otherwise very lovely apartment, Massimo was very kind in sharing lots of tips and recommendations. We enjoyed our stay, the apartment is very close to the Duomo. Free parking just in the corner of the apartment.
• Kristyna (10/5): Lovely, romantic nad authentic ❤️ - It was an unforgettable stay in Armerina. La Casetta is romantic accommodation right in the heart of the historic city. We fully recommend stay at this cozy house, walk through the night streets, discover the hidden treasures of the city and just enjoy the Genius loci of this place. Thanks Massimo for a warm welcome and useful tips for visiting the city and other places in Sicily (In English - what is not so common on the island). I would sum it up in one word - just LOVELY ❤️ There is nothing we can complain about.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great host and location - We didn’t get the room we had originally booked due to a booking error but the room we had was still a good room and the host did his best to make up for the difference. The location is excellent and the host gives extra directions for navigating the town and made great recommendations for things to do in the surrounding area as well.
• cristina (10/5): Alojamiento muy recomendable - Con las indicaciones de Massimo no tuvimo problemas para llegar ni para encontrar un buen sitio para cenar. Desgraciadamente solo pudimos quedarnos una noche, pero sin duda me podría haber quedado en la Casetta días. Alojamiento muy limpio y todo muy bien organizado. A pesar de que está localizado en el casco histórico (al lado del duomo) no tuvimos problemas de aparcamiento.
• Irma (10/5): Characterful lodgings in the old part of town - As we drove up the winding streets in the historic centre of Piazza Armerina we had little idea of what to expect. We had been given very good directions to the appartment by Massimo who was there to greet us and showed us round on our arrival. The appartment was small, very clean and just what we wanted. We booked for six nights and used this as a base for our day trips to the surrounding towns. There are a variety of restaurants within walking distance; a very good grocer shop just around the corner and lots of places to explore. Massimo spoke very good English and could not have been more courteous and welcoming. We really felt that we had experienced authentic Sicily and would recommend this flat to anyone keen to have similar experiences.
