Superbe villa pour découvrir l'est de la Sicile
Pros:

Un séjour enchanteur sur les pentes de l'Etna ! La villa est idéalement située pour explorer l'est de la Sicile (proche de Milazzo, Taormine, Bronte). Nous avons adoré le cadre : des terrasses cultivées d'orangers et de citronniers qui donnent un charme fou au lieu.
​Le logement est spacieux, très propre et fonctionnel, avec une terrasse privative sous pergola très agréable. La piscine (non chauffée) était déjà tout à fait baignable en mai !
​Un immense merci à la responsable qui est adorable, parle très bien français et a eu la gentillesse de nous accueillir à 23h30. On apprécie beaucoup le café à disposition et le petit 'minibar' (chips, boissons) en cas de besoin.

​Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Cons:

​Pour parfaire le séjour, il manquait juste quelques récipients (type Tupperware) pour conserver nos restes au frigo.

Heerlijk
Pros:

Warm ontvangen door Monica en heel prettig verblijf gehad. Schoon, veilig en prachtige tuin met zwembad en een schommel. Je kunt zelfs wandelen tussen de bomen met sinaasappels en citroenen. Mooi zicht op de Etna. De weg ernaartoe kent wat uitdagingen, maar met een auto goed te doen. In het kleine dorpje zijn voldoende faciliteiten.

Pros:

Amazing place, facilities were clean and amazing. The pool was very clean and the whole premises was very well kept. We loved the small details in the garden. Monica was very helpful, attentive and gave really good recommendations for local supermarkets and restaurants.

Cons:

Nothing in particular, just note that it is a bit tucked away from the main cities so a car is a must.

Heerlijke plek om je lekker terug te trekken, maar toch voldoende bezienswaardigheden in de buurt.
Pros:

Het was heerlijk rustig, schoon en mooi.

Cons:

Zwembadwater was helaas te koud om lekker te kunnen zwemmen. En de ligbedden vond ik persoonlijk niet comfortabel.

Pros:

I would like to thank Monica for providing all the necessities for my baby, including a highchair and a baby cot. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. It was also reassuring to have parking available on the premises, which was very important for us. We truly enjoyed our stay at Monica’s place and will definitely visit again when we return to Sicily.

Cons:

Everything was great — the only minor issue was the phone reception, but apart from that, everything was perfect.

Die schönste Unterkunft!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war einfach wundervoll!
Monica ist eine unglaublich herzliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin – stets hilfsbereit, immer erreichbar und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Alles war absolut sauber und bestens ausgestattet. Die Lage ist perfekt: Etna, Acireale, Taormina und Catania sind schnell erreichbar, nach Messina und Syrakus fährt man etwa eine Stunde. Der Pool war fantastisch, die Anlage wunderschön gepflegt und der Garten ein echtes Highlight.
Für uns die schönste Unterkunft, in der wir je waren – vor allem wegen der Sauberkeit, der Ausstattung und der Gastfreundschaft. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!
