Our stay in this beautiful apartment was just amazing. Everything worked well, everything was clean and all the information given beforehand was accurate. It was easy to have our car parked, and the panorama view both to the sea and Mount Etna were breathtaking. Orazio and Giusy were extremely friendly and helpful in every aspect. We did not get our two (big : ) suitcases at all during our vacation of 10 days but with Orazio's and Giusy's incredibly kind assistance - and having this beautiful apartment to stay at - our holiday was still so great. We are full of thankfulness for everything. Grazie di cuore per tutto a voi due, Orazio e Giusy. Amici dalla Finlandia

É stato un vero piacere avere questi ospiti, di cui non posso dire il nome, perché sono generosi e aperti al dialogo e che sono stati capaci di connettersi sia con noi che con le persone del luogo. Sono gli ospiti che ogni host vorrebbe avere e gli amici che ognuno di noi vorrebbe trovare. Grazie per averci scelto.

Fantastic Holiday

The loft is a dream with two beautiful terraces: one with a view to the sea and the other one a splendid view on the Etna! The loft is indeed very comfortable. Orazio and Guisy, our hosts, were very friendly and helpful. This was by far our best stay in Italy.

Most amazing stay ever!

Wow, just wow. What an absolutely amazing stay here! The hosts are most sweet, friendly and helpful. Upon arrival we were greeted with some local delicacies and they had provided both bed and chair for our 8 month old daugther. The apartment has everything you need and has the most stunning views of the sea and of Etna from the two terrances. The charming city of Riposto with supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants is a 20 min walk along the sea and you can use the apartment as a greatly located base for visiting Taormina, Catania, Etna, wineries and much more. All in all our stay was everything we could wish for - and more. We will never ever forget the time we spent here and already dream of returning.

We are very happy we had the opportunity to meet Martin, Mette and baby Alice. Martin and Mette easily combine pleasure of travelling with careful care of their baby. They immediately empathised with the community. It was a real pleasure for us to meet them. Baby Alice, who tasted her first ice-cream in Catania, charmed us and everyone in Riposto :) We hope to see them again and wish them all the best.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento durante la nostra vacanza e ne siamo rimasti entusiasti. La casa si trova in una posizione stupenda, perfetta per godersi il soggiorno e muoversi comodamente.L’arredamento e gli accessori sono di design italiano, curatissimi in ogni dettaglio, e l’appartamento è davvero molto accessoriato: non manca assolutamente nulla. Un ringraziamento speciale ai proprietari, Orazio e Giusy, persone veramente uniche e squisite, che si sono dimostrati gentilissimi e disponibilissimi in ogni momento.Ciò che rende questa casa davvero unica sono le due grandi terrazze arredate, con viste spettacolari da una parte su Taormina e sullo Stretto di Messina, e dall’altra sull’Etna. Un panorama indimenticabile che da solo vale il soggiorno.Casa unica, esperienza meravigliosa. Speriamo di tornarci presto!

Splendide!

Logement superbe encore plus spacieux que sur les photos. Les terrasses sont splendides avec des vues a couper le souffle et tres bien arborées. Très bien situé dans un environnement calme, il permet de visiter les lieux incontournables de la Sicile. Nos hotes sont d une gentillesse inégalable, noys preparant un petit repas maison à notre arrivée ainsi que de nombreuses attentions délicates ( fruits, glace traditionnelle, bouteille de vin pétillant local...) sans compter les autres prestations dignes d' un hôtel ( linge sortant du pressing changé au cours du séjour, ustensiles neufs...) Merci à Orazio et sa femme pour leur accueil et nous recommandons vivement à tous ceux qui veulent visiter la Sicile de venir dans ce bel endroit.

Spetacolare

Dall'arrivo alla partenza è stata una esperienza molto positiva. Il ben arrivati con Spumante, bocconcini vegetali, frutta e cioccolatini è stato molto gradito e in aspettato. La struttura è moderna ben arredata con una vista impagabile sia sul mare che sull'Etna. Chi ama alzarsi presto il mattino può godere di una spettacolare alba sul mare. Utili i consigli dei proprietari per quanto attiene a locali e o visite. Di solito non amo tornare nei luoghi già visti, ma sinceramente sto valutando di contravvenire a questa regola perché il posto è SPETTACOLARE.

Beste jemals gemietet FeWo

Nicht nur die Wohnung, sondern auch das Vermieterpaar sind außergewöhnlich. Sie strahlen Freundlichkeit und gleichzeitig eine angenehme Zurückhaltung aus. Wir würden sie gern bei uns als Freunde aufnehmen. Die Wohnung und vor allem die zwei Terrassen sind größer als sie auf den Bildern erscheinen. Eine Terrasse mit Meerblick-die andere mit Blick auf Etna. Wohnung hat eine Innen- und eine Aussenküche, Waschmaschine, Spüler und Fahrräder stehen zur Verfügung. Nochmal: Die schönste von und je gemietete Wohnung. Liebe Grüße Sylvia und Burkhard

Wonderful Property. Couple shortcomings on informational aspects.

Lots of fruit, a box of pastries, Prosecco and wine on arrival absolutely wonderful and SO appreciated after flight from North America and drive from Catania. Apartment is fabulous - front balcony onto ocean and rear balcony onto Etna incredible. Very clean and very comfortable. Hosts very friendly. Need a car to get around. Should provide more detailed local information - location of market and restaurants + opening hours. Also, the address is not Riposto (according to our Garmin GPS), but Torre Archirafi. Created some confusion.

Semplicemente spettacolare!

La casa di Orazio e Giusy è davvero stupenda, arredata con molto gusto, tutto di design. Ci sono ben 2 terrazzi, uno che affaccia sul mare da dove abbiamo visto delle meravigliose albe, e l’altro che dona lo spettacolo dell’Etna! Orazio e Giusy ci hanno fatto trovare tantissime sorprese, dalla frutta fresca allo spumante! E tante altre cose, acqua, caffè, cioccolata.. dolci tipici... un accoglienza da 10!!! Aria condizionata perfetta, Wifi ottimo segnale, c’e Persino una cucina esterna molto comoda!! Riposto è un punto strategico per visitare la zona, come Taormina, Isola Bella, Zafferana, Gola di Alcantara, Catania e molto altro ancora!! A nostro avviso Riposto è il posto giusto per conoscere la vera Sicilia. Siamo stati benissimo! Consigliamo a tutti questa proprietà!! Ci torneremo senz’altro!!!

Die Wohnung ist ganz wunderbar, sehr sauber und die Gastgeber eine Klasse für sich. Die Köstlichkeiten, die als Willkommensgruß vorhanden waren, haben wir genossen. Ebenso die Ausblicke von den Terrassen. Einen Tag vor unserer Anreise ist der Ätna ausgebrochen und Orazio hat uns per Whatsapp mit tollen Fotos darüber informiert. Tagelang konnten wir abends die glühende Lava von der "Ätna-Terrasse" sehen und waren beeindruckt. Auch die Infrastruktur ist gut, einige Minuten entfernt befinden sich Restaurants, Bars, ein kleiner Lebensmittelladen. Wir haben die Wohnung bereits einigen Freunden und Nachbarn empfohlen.

Riposto retreat

We had a really nice time in this beautifully kept apartment with fantastic views of the Mediterranean out the front and Mount Etna at the back. Orazio and Giusy who own the property are fantastic and have taken create care over the property. We arrived late due to a delayed flight but they were there to greet us, they left a bottle of Brut, the most amazing home cooked aubergine dish, a selection of local pastries, milk, pastries and fruit! In addition, they also helped us out when our wing mirror was knocked off our car. The apartment is well stocked with necessities, a coffee machine, kettle, pots, pans etc. There are folders with information about local attractions and places to eat. We were allowed to borrow bikes to cycle into town, but it is also a nice ~20min walk along the seafront. We cooked a couple of times in the flat and eat out in Riposto. Etna was covered in cloud for most of our stay but we were blessed with a view of the summit on our last morning. Overall highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and experience eastern Siciliy

Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine dans cet appartement bien situé ( dans un village tranquille), bien equipé, avec ses 2 magnifiques terrasses dont une directement sur la mer et l'autre avec vue impressionnante sur l'Etna. L'autoroute est facilement accessible pour visiter tous les sites les plus intéressant: Taormina, Syracuse, Noto et bien sûr prendre la route qui fait le tour de l'Etna. Nous avons été bien accueilli par les propriétaires avec d'excellentes pâtisseries et un plateau de fruits variés. L' appartement était d'une propreté impeccable à l'arrivée.
