Perfect Condo in Aci Castello

Property was perfect for our family's stay. Very good location within walking distance of Aci Trezza and Aci Castello. Orazio communicated well before and during our stay - definitely an awesome and accomodating host. Gated onsite parking was a nice plus.

Delightful for Christmas sleepovers!

Orazio (owner) went the extra mile for us. Arriving in the dark, it was very difficult to locate, so, after WA-ing between us, he and his son stood out on the road to ‘direct’ us! Then throughout our stay he responded immediately when we had questions/concerns.... The apartment was as per the pics online. Spacious and light; the patio area well-screened with gorgeous mature plants.... Recommend highly. “We must come again” became our mantra!!!!

Wonderful time at A I Castelo

We had great time at Horazio's place in Aci Castelo. The apartment is very well arranged. Horazio was very attentive and responsive to our requests. The apartment situated in a beautiful area over looking the sea,with short distance from Catania and Taormina. We recommend warmly this place.

Lovely property, very well situated and the owners were extrememly helpful and kind.

Property was ideally situated in Aci Castello with great road access to various sites on the east side of Sicily. Catania was only 15 minutes drive away. The property was clean, with great facilities and the owners were delightful and very helpful. Aci Castello and Aci Terza have great restaurants whic are no more than 5/10 minutes walk from the property. I would highly recommend this property.

2 Wochen in Aci Trezza - Unterkunft okay aber für 2 Wochen zu wenig Komfort und zu laut

Zunächst einmal möchte ich betonen, dass der Vermieter sehr freundlich war und der Kontakt immer sehr nett war. Weiterhin möchte ich darauf hinweisen, dass unsere Bewertung aus UNSERER Sicht (deutsches Paar ohne Kinder, 35 Jahre) geschrieben ist und wir eventuell einen höheren Anspruch an Qualität haben. Ich finde faire und ehrliche Bewertungen wichtig da ich mich selbst darauf verlasse bei Buchungen, daher kann ich die anderen SEHR guten Bewertungen zu diesem Appartment nicht verstehen. Hier also unser ganz ehrlicher Blick auf die 2 Wochen vor Ort: Pro: - netter Kontakt zum Vermieter, er ist immer erreichbar - problemloser Check-in am Anreisetag - großes Appartment mit viel Platz - schön angelegter Vorgarten - funktionierende Klimaanlage - helle, offene Räume - Privatsphäre obwohl die Vermieter direkt darüber wohnen - Parkplatz direkt vor dem Appartment auf dem Privatgelände, daher sehr sicher - Supermarkt zu Fuß erreichbar sowie auch diverse gute Restaurants in den 2 benachbarten Ortschaften - In nur 50Min (mit dem Auto) am Ätna Con: - es ist unheimlich laut! Eine größere Straße geht direkt vor dem Haus entlang und dort ist ständiger Verkehr, auch nachts. Ich konnte aufgrund der Lautstärke sehr schlecht schlafen. - zur Lautstärke: man hört im Appartment ständig den Wasserheizer (Boiler) bzw. das laute Quietschen, wenn jemand der Familie des Vermieters oben in ihrer Wohnung einen Wasserhahn aufdreht oder duscht. Das geht leider von 7:30 morgens bis 23:30 abends... uns hat das sehr gestört, weil man auch immer davon aufgewacht ist. - Ausstattung: die Betten waren für unsere Verhältnisse sehr unbequem, die Kopfkissen sind keine richtigen Schlafkissen, eher Deko-Kissen. Wir haben daher eher schlecht geschlafen. Da wir die Insel eh noch erkunden wollten, haben wir 5 von 14 Nächten spontan in anderen Appartments in anderen Städten übernachtet, daher war es am Ende nur halb so schlimm. - Ausstattung: das Bad ist leider in die Jahre gekommen... die Toilette war kaputt (der Sitz ist immer verrutscht), die Duschkabine ist nicht richtig zugegangen (daher auch undicht) und war super klein. An der Wand im Bad war Schimmel im Eck zu sehen. - Ausstattung Couch: über die Couch sind Tücher gespannt damit man den eigentlichen Zustand der Couch nicht sofort sieht. Die Sitzflächen hängen nach unten und man kann dort eigentlich gar nicht richtig sitzen. - Falscher Eindruck durch die Bilder des Inserates: es gibt keinen eigenen Pool

Risveglio vista mare

Posizione ottima sia per recarsi al mare, sia per arrivare a piedi ad Acitrezza dove si trova di tutto: dal supermercato ai negozi di ogni genere ai bar e ai ristoranti. Molto piacevole l’appartamento con la grande vetrata vista mare e il giardino dove si può comodamente fare colazione pranzo e cena. Proprietari molto ospitali e disponibili! Ci tornerei!

Orazio ha sido un perfecto anfitrión, nos ha tratado como si fuesemos de su familia. La casa está muy bien situada para visitar todos los sitios importantes como Catania, Taormina, Siracusa y el Etna. A pocos minutos andando Acitrezza y Acicastello. Lo recomendamos sin duda.

Compact maar fijn appartement

Mooi en eenvoudig appartement. Wij waren met vijf personen en dat is max. Door slimme indeling met schuifdeuren kan de tweepersoons slaapkamer visueel bij de zitkamer en keuken worden getrokken. Door glazen gevel ruim en licht gevoel. Eigenaar woont er boven. Met handen en voeten en half Engels valt goed te communiceren. Erg behulpzaam. Fijn terras met voldoende zon en schaduw. Op loopafstand van aci trezza en aci castello. Snel in Catania En ongeveer een uur van Taormina omdat het aan een doorgaande weg ligt.

Ferienwohnung Fam. Orazia Blanco

Die Wohnung entspricht in vollem Umfang der Beschreibung. Besonders schön ist der Garten und die Terrasse. Vermieter sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und entgegenkommend. Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück vorhanden und durch ein stabiles Tor abgesichert. Der Ort und das Meer sind innerhalb weniger Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Sehr gute Fischrestaurants und Bars mit herrlicher Aussicht auf die Cyclopenfelsen. Das einzig Störende war eine Baustelle nebenan.

Heerlijk verblijf met de gastvrije Oratio

Wij hebben een fijne week gehad in het appartement onder het huis van Oratio in Aci Castello. Een mooi appartement met een heerlijk terras omgeven door prachtige beplanting. Het appartement biedt alle comfort die je nodig hebt om je verblijf aangenam te maken. Het huis ligt op loopafstand van een leuke kleine haven met daaromheen allerlei leuke restaurants. Verder is het een goed uitgangspunt om leuke trips te maken naar bijv. Catania en Syracuse
