From the Norman Castle of Aci Castello you can also admire the Faraglioni of Acitrezza, picturesque rocks that according to legend, were thrown by Polyphemus to Ulysses during his escape.

Le logement est tel que décrit; propre et fonctionnel bien situé, au calme , près de l' hotel " Sheraton" ce qui facilite les excursions. Immeuble extrêmement sécurisé. voiture dans une allée privée. Très bon séjour et remerciements à Mario.

Bel emplacement
Nous avons grandement apprécié l'accueil que nous a fait Mario et sa conjointe, présents au moment de notre arrivée! L'appartement est conforme aux photos sur le site, bien équipé (fonctionnel) et très propre. On a grandement apprécié les balcons au moment de l'apéro. Le stationnement est sécuritaire car l'accès est disponible seulement aux résidents et fermé par une barrière automatique. La communication avec Mario est facile et il est très réactif. Tu demandes une information et la réponse arrive rapidement et cela pendant tout le processus de réservation. Quand il n'est pas certain de la réponse, il nous réfère à des personnes qui pourront nous la fournir. Il nous a envoyé des liens pour nous indiquer où se trouvaient les supermarchés, et ceci n'est qu'un exemple. Nous retournerions sans hésitation chez Mario et sa conjointe et nous recommandons fortement son appartement pour quiconque veut visiter la région.

TOP HOME ZUM WOHL FÜHLEN: Sauber, ruhige Lage, sichere Umgebung, voll eingerichtet
Herzlichen Dank an Mario's Home für Eure Gastfreundschaft und Hilfe, wann immer wir was brauchten!!! ....... Mit der Ausstattung der Küche kann man mehr als ein Frühstück zaubern. Große Kühl-Gefrierkombination. Heizkörper machten in den kälteren Tagen auf Sizilien die Wohnung angenehm warm. Großes Bett mit Steppbett und für jede Person 2 Kissen.Dazu großen Schrank und eine Kommode. Modernes und WIRKLICH sauberes Bad mit stufenlos regulierbarer Dusche. Wohnzimmer mit Ledercouch und ein Fernseher mit mehr als 100 italienischen Sendern. Nachbarschaft war ruhig. Sichere Parkmöglichkeit auf der Anlage mit verschließbarem Tor. Der nette Hauswart hat auch ein Auge drauf, das die Anlage ordentlich und sicher ist. An der Ostseite von Sizilien haben wir die schönsten Städte und Strände bei unseren Touren auf der Insel gehabt. Für uns war es die richtige Entscheidung, nicht in der City von Catania zu wohnen, sondern im nahe gelegenen Aci Castello, beschaulichen Ausblicken auf die romantischen Meeresbuchten. Unser Tipp: Mario ist ein Experte für den Ätna.....! Lieben Gruß, Maria und Andreas!
