An holiday to repeat, ideal to free the mind. fantastic Sicilian hospitality in an enchanted place, immersed in the greenery of a fantastic garden where it was possible to pick strawberries, smell the scent of orange blossoms, observe the sea directly from the Sicilian-style room. The warm welcome of the Messina family, who pampered us with fresh fruit and lemonade with sage and mint upon our arrival. Thank you so much .

Die Locanda ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Touren im Osten Siziliens. Sie hat zwei sehr schöne Schlafzimmer, eins mit kleinem Balkon und weitem Blick übers Meer. Besonders reizvoll ist der Garten, den wir mitbenutzen durften. Der freundliche Besitzer ließen uns sogar alles pflücke, was gerade eßbar war (z.B.Kakifrüchte und Feigen!). Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Lovely, comfortable house adjacent to landlord's house. Small but clean and well fitted out. Kitchen well- equipped but without a microwave or washing facilities. The garden was exceptional, with lots of fruit trees and an elevated patio with amazing views to the sea. A real peaceful spot. Enrico was very friendly and helpful, giving lots of ideas of places to visit and eat. The property is a little out of the way so a car is essential. Enjoyed running with Enrico and his friend at the weekend - it gave me a locals perspective of the region. The weather was disappointing, thunderstorms took out the internet which we missed.

We stayed in Enrico's place for a bit more than a week. The house, which is attached to his own house is convient located outside of Acireale and is a perfect base to explor the east / southeast of Siciliy. Supermarktes and restaurants are close by and the nice Centers of Acireale and Aci Castello are just a few minutes by car away. The house has a wonderful large garden with all kind of fruits. You are allowed to pick as many fruits as you like and to sit and walk in the Garden as you like. The house is equipped with everything you need, from TV, Internet etc. Incl. A well equipped kitchen. The whole decoration in the house is also very nice and makes you feel comfortable. You are even provided with Enrico's great homemade tomato sauce and olive oil. Enrico is a great host and really makes the different. He will provide you Not only with Basic Information like where the next Restaurant and Supermarktes are, but he will even recommend you "special" things, in our case He told us that one day Monuments were open (which are normally Not accessible), told us about the easter celebtation in the area or recommend us a small local Farmer for a ricotta breakfast. We would definelty recommend this house to our friends and would stay there again if we would be once again in this area.

Had a lovely time in Sicily. The house is located in a good position to be able to explore the East coast of the island, it's very close to Mount Etna which is stunning. The garden is amazing and the balcony from the room offers stunning sea views. Enrico and his family are lovely, they are always willing to offer advice and help on where to go, what to see and do. The family have their own private garden and they allow their guests to have their own privacy. He allows you to pick fruit from his garden, which is an experience in itself. My daughter, who is 2, loved the trampoline/slide and swing that Enrico had. It kept her entertained for hours. A lovely stay and a stunning place.

Die herzliche Begrüßung war der Beginn vieler positiver Überraschungen: Von außen sieht die Wohnung eher nüchtern aus: Sobald man aber die Wohnung betritt, ist man überrascht: Jeder Raum ist mit Geschmack und Liebe gestaltet. Natürlich ist alles, was man braucht, vorhanden. Die 2. Überraschung erlebt man, wenn auf den kleinen Balkon tritt: Ein Der Blick fällt auf einen behaglichen Innenhof und einen riesigen Garten. Und das Beste ist, dass Enrico geradezu darum bittet, die Früchte zu pflücken und zu genießen: Im März waren es Orangen, Zitronen, Erdbeeren, Bananen. Enrico verwöhnt nicht nur seine Gäste, er weiß auch auf alle Fragen eine Antwort – und die ist auch immer richtig. Also: Die Anreise bereitet einige Mühe, aber die Abreise fällt viel schwerer!

Abbiamo trascorso giorni veramente belli e rilassati, per fortuna pochi perché visto il posto e l'ospitalità, che per i padroni di casa e l'intera famiglia è ancora "sacra" come nella Magna Grecia, non saremmo più tornati a casa, ci sentivamo a casa!!! Vista stupenda, il padrone di casa, Enrico, sempre disponibile e sorridente, pronto ad offrire i frutti del suo giardino che mette a disposizione degli ospiti. Casa attrezzata di elettrodomestici, pentolame, utensili, televisore e wifi. Si organizzano, su richiesta, scalate all'Etna e si mettono a disposizione bici. Che dire, Ottimo per tutto: località, soggiorno, ospitalità, rapporto qualità/prezzo. Grazie infinite ad Enrico e a tutta la sua famiglia!

Une maison confortable, un bon accueil d'Enrico, possibilité de rammasser des fruits dans un beau jardin, Enrico fourni de bons conseils sur les visites à faire en Sicile. Parle facilement en anglais.

Wir hatten vor unserer Reise die positiven Bewertungen gelesen, waren aber trotzdem überrascht davon, wie unfassbar schön unser Urlaubsdomizil war. Enrico und seine Frau haben sich ein traumhaftes Zuhause geschaffen, die Aussicht ist überwältigend und auch das Gästehaus ist schön eingerichtet. Außerdem ist Enrico ein außergewöhnlich gastfreundlicher Mensch, der stets hilfsbereit war, uns tolle Ausflug- und Restauranttipps gab und uns bei allen Fragen unterstützte. Er uns seine Frau sprechen sehr gut Englisch, sodass auch die Verständigung überhaupt kein Problem war. Die Küche des Hauses ist gut eingerichtet und im Garten ("Garten Eden", wie wir ihn nannten :-) ) durfte man sich frei bedienen. Wir hoffen, den Besuch wiederholen zu können, wir haben uns in dieses Fleckchen Erde sehr verliebt! Vielen Dank an Enrico und seine Frau, auch für die Unterstützung, als unser Sohn erkrankte!!! Alla prossima volta!

What to say first? I enjoyed the sea view, we loved the garden (especially the children and the house. The owner was very friendly and we liked so much the dinner he offered us t his house (traditionally sicilian! Also, I have to say that the house was warm when we arrived there (the central heating worked! Acireale was in carnaval when we were there and our toddlers enjoyed it ver much. Looking forward to visit Sicily again!
