Response from VrboOwner on 8 Jun, 2026
Dear Rembert,
Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the stunning sea view and the view of Mount Etna.
Regarding the kitchen equipment, we are sorry to hear that you could not find a pair of scissors or a bottle opener. Occasionally, items may be damaged or misplaced by previous guests. Had you informed us during your stay, we would have brought replacements within about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, we did not receive any message about this issue during your stay, just now with a review.
The same applies to the shower. If there had been any problem with the water pressure, we would have been happy to check it immediately. We regularly verify the apartment and have not found any issues with the water flow. We are also unsure about the reference to rust, as the shower is tiled and does not contain rusty metal surfaces.
We always encourage guests to contact us during their stay so that any concern can be resolved right away. This is especially important for longer stays, where small issues can usually be fixed quickly and easily.
While we respect every opinion, we were genuinely surprised by this review, as it is very different from the feedback we usually receive and from the consistently high ratings awarded by our guests.
Kind regards,
Giuseppe & Team

Saubere Wohnung in schmuddeliger Umgebung + ToDos für den Hausmeister
++ netter Kontakt zum Verwalter der Wohnung
++ Bilder des Inserats stimmen
++ direkte Lage am Meer toll zum Entspannen und Baden
++ klappbare Tür zwischen Küche und Balkon und damit zum Meer ist toll
++ guter Parkplatz um die Ecke
!! Dachgeschoss mit Schrägen, ab 1,85 nicht mehr ohne schiefen Hals machbar
- Wohnung ist nur durch Schrank geteilt, hellhörig
ToDos für den Hausmeister
- bitte Küchenutensilien prüfen (Topf fehlt, Besteck ist kaputt, kein brauchbares Messer, keine Schälchen)
- Geschirrspüler kommt einem beim Öffnen entgegen
- alle Türzargen sind locker
- Verdunklungsrollos kaputt, kommen einem beim Klappen der Fenster entgegen
- Sofabett im Wohnzimmer für kleine Kinder ok, für Erwachsene kein erholsamer Schlaf
Fazit:
+ für 5 Nächte völlig ok
- vermüllte Umgebung ist auszublenden
+ guter Startpunkt für Ausflüge Ostküste
+ Preis für uns angemessen

Vue magnifique et calme
Les équipements sont excellents. La vue sur la mer avec lever de soleil est de toute beauté. On pouvait se garer facilement à chaque fois. Bien situé entre Catane et Taormina, cela nous convenait bien afin d'éviter la foule touristique. Nous gardons un très bon souvenir de notre séjour là bas. Merci Stefano

Sehr schönes Apartment in toller Lage
Ein wirklich sehr schönes Apartment, top ausgestattet und sauber in bester Lage zum Strand. wir wurden vor Ort von Guisepper sehr nett begrüßt und später auch betreut. Ein Mangel ( Kühlschrank defekt ) wurde sofort und unkompliziert behoben.
Die Lage ist sehr zentral um den Nordosten der Insel zu erkunden. Hier gibt es einige Möglichkeiten.
Der Ort selber ist recht einfach, dafür aber auch für einen Urlaubsort sehr günstig. Größere Supermärkte sind bequem mit dem Auto zu erreichen, wer aus verständlichen Gründen auf der Insel nicht gerne mit dem Auto fährt findet kleinere Märkte ausreichend im Ort.
Der Strand ist während der Ferienzeit gut besucht, aber man bekommt immer einen guten Platz am freien Strand direkt vor der Tür oder auf bezahlten Liegen rechts und links daneben.
Fazit : Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und könen dieses Apartment wirklich empfehlen !
