The host was extremely helpful and even picked us up and dropped us off at the rails Taino as well as showing us around the area. The location was perfect and the apartment exactly like the pictures. There was a problem at times with water pressure in the shower but we were in the old town where this is common. Also I would suggest a little more crockery and cutlery in the kitchen would be helpful.We had a wonderful time . Thankyou

nous avons passé un très bon séjour même si le site est peu touristique finalement. l'appartement est bien situé, les gens très sympathiques mais le seul bémol est que la rue est vraiment très bruyante, à toute heure, et que le bâtiment ancien est à simple vitrage.

Centralt och bra läge !

Vi trivdes mycket bra under en ledig vecka i februari. Centralt läge och nära till allt. Nyskördade citroner, clementiner och lokalt vin välkommnades vi med av värden. Rekomenderas varmt.

Parfait pour visiter de catane à taormina

Un accueil très chaleureux avec du vin et des pâtisseries locales. L'appartement est très bien situé dans Riposto. Le soir on peut se garer facilement dans la rue et même devant en cette période de fin juillet. Francesco est adorable, il nous à même fait une visite de la ville jusqu'à nous montrer la maison del padrino ! Je recommande !
