Perfect❤️Stay here

We stayed at this beautiful penthouse for 8 days and LOVED IT! The apartment is in an ideal location to walk the streets of Giarre and we made several easy day trips to Ortigia and Taormina. The best part though was the hospitality of the owners Francesco and his wife Francesca. They went above and beyond…providing us with recommendations for local restaurants,grocery stores and local site seeing. We definitely plan on staying again and give the hosts thanks and the highest possible recommendation. Thank you both for being the ultimate hosts!

Short Stay

Location is in the city. Can see the Mt Etna from the apartment. large penthouse style place with a lot of space. Bathrooms are small but functional. Bedrooms are fairly large. It is a quirky place that we enjoyed a lot.

Simply wonderful!

Von dieser Wohnung kann man nur schwärmen: Ansprechend möbliert, großzügig geschnitten, ruhig, mit eigenem Parkplatz, Küche sehr gut ausgerüstet, direkter Blick auf den Ätna. Der Hausherr kümmert sich rührend um seine Gäste, wir würden jederzeit gerne wieder hinfahren.
