Very clean and in excellent condition

Fantastic Experience. The accommodations were exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. Giovanna was very friendly and thought of all the little touches to help us out during our stay (where to eat, buy groceries, instructions on how to use the TV, A/C, etc.) Even a welcome basket with some food was totally unexpected and very appreciated. Highly recommended, would definitely stay again.

Dear Giovanni, I am very happy it was a nice experience staying into my house. Every day I try to do my best in order to make my guests feel as at their own home. It was a pleasure to host you and your lovely family. You will be welcome guests every time you would come here in Sicily.

Beautiful huge place with parking right at the door and NO STAIRS!! Easy to get to and the apartment was clean with complimentary goodies! The host even came to meet us. Of the 5 rooms we rented all throughout Sicily, she was the only one that offered to greet us personally or use self check in. My friend and I were mentioning the day before how it would be nice to actually meet a host. So we chose to meet the host. The place is very clean and spacious with two washrooms and a beautiful terrace. Lots of channels on the TV and the shower is accommodating for plus size models like me. Some places had shower doors made for thin people only. The host even provided google map tips to go sightseeing which is very convenient cause Google Maps in Sicily could be a little complicated for tourists. We highly recommend and I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever in the neighborhood.

Wonderful Spacious Apartment and a Great Host

A beautifully decorated, spacious apartment in the shadow of Mount Etna. Giovanna is a wonderful host and was there to meet us on arrival and to bid us farewell when we left. She provided us with great information about places to visit and where to eat and was contactable, if needed throughout our stay. The apartment had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay and was only a short walk from the small town of Macchia with it's small bars and pasticceria's and a great place to enjoy a drink on an evening. The location was perfect for us as we had a car which is a necessity for getting to the apartment and to make the most of the beautiful area.

Appartement superbe et stratégiquement situé pour visiter la côte est de la sicile.

Très bon accueil de Giovanna qui remplit parfaitement son rôle d'hôtesse et nous donne de nombreuses informations sur sa région. Son logement est très bien tenu, parfaitement décoré. Elle est très soucieuse de notre bien-être, répond immédiatement à nos demandes et de plus elle parle bien le français. Pour deux couples c'est parfait, deux chambres spacieuses et deux salles de bains distinctes. Le logement dispose d'un parking privé. Nous recommandons particulièrement cette location. Grazie ancora per tutto Giovanna. Ce fut un bonheur de faire ta connaissance.
