The Artists
The Artists"I thought these were two adjoining apartments for all 9 of us to stay. I was expecting a kitchen we could share and a balcony.

La Finestra Dei Ciclopi
La Finestra Dei Ciclopi"Siamo stati ad Ottobre ed era piena di gente e di vita. Turisti ma soprattutto del luogo. Ancora qualcuno prendeva il sole. La casa è davanti al mare, ai ciclopi e ad una piazza piena di vita. La posizione è ottima e centrale. Casa con scale e un bellissimo affaccio.

Palazzo Giovanni Bed and Breakfast
"Il n'y a pas assez d'étoiles pour évaluer ce site. Si on pouvait, on en mettrait au moins 6. L'endroit est magnifique avec un environnement à couper le souffle, surtout sur la terrasse avec d'un côté la vue sur l'Etna et la plantation de citronniers, et de l'autre, la vue sur la mer. Que dire aussi de l'accueil de notre hôte. Un passionné qui ne tarit pas d'information. Grande chambre confortable et très propre. Petits déjeuners avec variété de choix. Seul bémol, pour certains, l'endroit est isolé et les déplacements se font en voiture."
