Ottima Accoglienza !
Arrivati ad Aci Castello, paesino vicino a Catania ben collegato con i mezzi pubblici, abbiamo raggiunto l'appartamento a pochi passi dal castello normanno. Siamo stati accolti dal proprietario che, con discrezione e gentilezza, ha saputo garantirci un appartamento accogliente, ben fornito e curato in ogni dettaglio. Consigliato assolutamente!

Everything as expected / Alles wie erwartet
Schönes kleines Appartment mit allem was man brauchtin der Nähe vom Meer. Für 2 Personen ideal. Grosse Terasse (das Meer sieht man leider nicht). Gute Pizzeria (Jonica) in Sichtweite. Vermieter sehr nett und zuvorkommend (allerdings sollte man etwas englisch sprechen!) Insgesamt war es seht gut! Nice small appartment with all necessities near the sea. Ideal for 2. Big terrace (unfortunately you cannot see the sea from there). Good place to get pizza not far away. The landlord is very nice and helpful. We had a great time!

Splendida mansarda
Durante la prima settimana di Agosto ad Aci Castello abbiamo soggiornato in questa graziosissima mansarda, posta a due passi dal Castello Normanno e dal lungomare. L'ambiente è veramente confortevole, pulito e completo di ogni accessorio, ideale per coppie o single, in cerca di un posto tranquillo e come punto di partenza per raggiungere agevolmente tutte le località sulla costa Ionica. Il proprietario Rosario, come del resto la gran parte dei siciliani che abbiamo avuto il piacere di conoscere, è una persona seria, premurosa e molto disponibile. Consigliatissimo!

Accogliente e essenziale
Abbiamo soggiornato ad Aci Castello 8 giorni, 13-20 Luglio. La posizione del paese (molto carino e piacevolmente vivace) consente di spostarsi lungo tutta la costa est della Sicilia (abbiamo visitato da Taormina a Siracusa, Giardini Naxos, Etna, Gole dell'Alcantara, Noto e altri paesini dell'entroterra). La mansardina è molto carina e ben curata, anche meglio di quanto possano rendere le foto qui sul sito. Grazie al condizionatore non abbiamo avuto problemi con il gran caldo. Rosario è stato gentilissimo e molto disponibile, un po' come tutte le persone che abbiamo incontrato in questi giorni di vacanza.. Veramente molto soddisfatti...e la Sicilia è una terra bellissima!

Mansardina dotata di ogni comfort
Una mansardina da favola, ubicata a pochi passi dal castello, in una posizione strategica per visitare le meraviglie della Sicilia e con tutti i negozi vicino casa, in particolare una frequentatissima pizzeria. Tutto come descritto nell'annuncio, senza tralasciare nulla, ogni minimo particolare è curato, dotata di ogni accessorio utile, immobile pulito. Proprietario cordiale e disponibile per ogni esigenza così come tutti i siciliani.

I SENSI DI CATANIA
Meglio di così la Sicilia non poteva accoglierci, e più di così non poteva regalarci in emozioni e sorprese. Grazie a Rosario !!! La sua deliziosa mansarda, curata ed accogliente, ci ha permesso di immergerci a pieno nelle atmosfere locali, sentirci castellesi per un pò, e godere dello spendido mare scoprendo, fin nelle sue profondità, tracce dell'Etna. Siamo al centro di un affascinante triangolo ricco di storia e natura Taormina-Etna-Siracusa. Catania, con Aci Castello e Aci Trezza sono il cuore di quest'area, ma non trascurate Acireale città dai cento campanili. La ricca e generosa cucina vi inebrierà con i suoi sapori e profumi, caratterizzando ogni singola esperienza. Ci sentiamo di consigliare un proprio mezzo di trasporto. Buon soggiorno ai venturi vacanzieri!
