About this property

Apartment/ flat - Riposto

EtnaTwins apartment is centrally located in town, but still in a quiet area, distant from the local traffic.
The apartment is situated on the 1st floor of a complex that was built in the 1970's but was remodeled in 2008. It was the owner's residence until 2009. The apartment is something more than a vacation home. A lot of special care was put into it so that all guests feel truly at home. The rooms are spacious and have all the comforts and amenities, including a fully operating kitchen.

You can also take advantage of the panoramic terrace, furnished with chairs, a beach umbrella and table to relax, sunbathe, or arrange to have a quiet and relaxing dinner while enjoying the beautiful view of Mount Etna and Taormina.

Lovely views and atmosphere

Frank and hospitable host Antonio's genuine sicilian 2nd floor apartment is a perfect place for your staying. Top features are definately the spacious rooftop terace with views to Etna and the Med., barbecue, comfortable beds and easy access to the train station. This is the place to enjoy 100% real sicilian atmosphere in town centre.

"We had a great time in this apartment. There are 2 things we find very important. 1 that a holidayapartment is clean and 2 that the beds are of a good quality. Both things where perfectly ok. This apartment was very spacious. On the pictures the rooms look much smaller, so we where pleasantly surprised. We certainly got value for money!"

Gem in the heart of Riposto

We loved this apartment. The rooms are all thoughtfully appointed and the host(s) were gracious and unintrusive. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. The place is a block from the main drag and centrally located between the restaurants and markets in Riposto and those in Giarre (other side of the railroad station). The source of heat is a mini split; it worked fine for us. I expect that it will work even better as an air conditioner. The only fly in the ointment was that the rooftop terrace wasn't accessible, but it was December, so evenings outside weren't really on the agenda. So, the balconies aren't places with sweeping vistas of the Ionian Sea, Taormina, and Mt. Etna, but as a place to stay it served us well. We took lots of pictures of those sweeping vistas from nearby!

Bewertung

Der Aufenthalt in der gemieteten Wohnung war sehr angenehm. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und sehr geräumig. Die Lage ist sehr angenehm. Zentral und doch sehr ruhig von der Dachterrasse hat man ein super Blick auf den Ätna und das Meer. Zum Strand braucht man allerdings ein Fahrzeug, sind doch ca. 2,5 km.Antonio ist super nett und sehr hilfsbereit in allen Angelegenheiten. Er ist der beste Vermieter den man sich wünschen kann. Parkplätze für ein Auto gibt es genügend rund ums Haus, auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig locker zu erreichen. Riposto ist ein carmantes Stätdchen mit netten Restaurants und Bars. Man braucht etwas Zeit um dies herauszufinden. Auf jeden Fall kann man diese Wohnung weiterempfehlen.

Schöne Ferienwohnung mit tollem Ausblick auf den Ätna

Unser Aufenthalt war okay. Die Klimaanlage in der Wohnung braucht einige Zeit, um die Räume gut zu kühlen. Allerdings haben die Schlafräume selber keine eigene Klimaanlage, so dass dort schon eine gewisse Wärme entsteht. Die Betten in der Ferienwohnung sind sehr gut. Auch hatten wir keine Probleme mit dem parken vom Leihwagen, vor dem Haus und in der Nebenstraße gibt es immer genügend Parkplätze. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind mit dem Auto innerhalb von 5 Minuten gut erreichbar. Auch sind fußläufig einige Restaurants zu erreichen. Wenn man als Europäer in der Küche auf eine Kaffeemaschine hofft, wird man mit einer Bialetti empfangen. Es ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig damit den Kaffee zu zubereiten, aber auch eine Erfahrung und ein Erlebnis. Platz Angebot in der Ferienwohnung ist sehr sehr gut und Antonio als Vermieter. Richtig klasse. Er ist super nett und immer hilfsbereit.

Appartement bien placé pour faire du tourisme sur la côte est.

Nous avons passé un bon séjour sur la côte est. Nous avons aussi bien profité de la plage, des villes que de l’intérieur des terres en allant à l’Etna et aux Gogres d’Alcantara. Nous avons le regret de ne pas être aller à Vulcano mais le coût de la traversée pour notre famille composée de 3 enfants était de 384€ trop cher!!!! La conduite en Sicile est fatigante, elle demande de l’attention car les siciliens respectent très approximativement le code de la route, c’est un style et des habitudes à prendre. Nous avons été surpris par les déchets, poubelles éparpillés dans cette si belle nature. Très bonne première semaine de vacances !!! Nous avons vu des paysages magnifiques.

July-August 2022

Firstly the accommodation- The apartment is located in one of the minor roads that feed the main street Via Italia. There is no particular view from the apartment itself but the roof terrace provides a lovely view to the sea on one side and Etna on the other. Inside the apartment is spotlessly clean and well equipped. We were met by our amazing host Antonio who was really helpful. The air conditioning is limited but enough- we needed it for our stay as it was really hot! Riposto is not of itself a tourist destination but none the poorer for it. there is a real authenticity to the place - it feels totally unspoiled. we were able to purchase the most amazing produce from local shops. There are some fantastic restaurants in Riposto which are not overpriced for what you get. i suspect if we had gone to a tourist hotspot we would be paying much much more. We spent most of our time at the beeches a short drive from Riposto itself. If you want to access these beeches you will need a car. We had planned to do without one- this would have been a mistake! The beeches that we went to were not crowded at all-the water was crystal clear and calm. Overall this was a great location and not overpriced at all. After leaving Riposto we headed for Noto. There is a contrast between the two for sure but Riposto has a ‘real’ feel about it probably because it is not teaming with tourists. I am sure we will return

Authentic Sicily - Riposto/Giarre

We were made most welcome by Antonio. The flat is most comfortable and completely fitted with easy- sliding insect screens. We did not have a single mosquito in the flat - that's a first for us as they generally make a feast of me during the night. The location is ideal as a base for train travel. The town is as unspoilt a place as you are likely to find in Sicily. Great views of Etna and the sea from the huge roof terrace. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment.

Schöne Wohnung, super Gastgeber

Gemütlich eingerichtete Wohnung mit ausreichend Platz allem was man braucht. Supermarkt viele andere Geschäfte und eine gute Pizzeria ganz in der Nähe. Mit dem Auto in 5 Min zum Strand. Von Riposto erreicht man in unter einer Stunde auch viele weitere schöne Orte, z.B. Taormina mit dem Antiken Theater, Isola Bella, Catania, Syrakus und das Ohr des Dyonisos, Gole Alcantara und natürlich den Ätna. Der Gastgeber Antonio war super freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuverlässig. Er hatte auch immer ein paar gute Tipps, wo man am besten hingeht. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung, auch für Familien mit Kindern.

Assez bel appartement près des visites essentielles

Je n'ai pas aimé la propreté de la ville très sale par rapport à la France . Le coût de la vie est pas cher , la chaleur au rendez vous . Je dirai assez bien , j'ai un sentiment mitigé !

Fare la vostra conoscenza è stato un piacere ed è sempre bello avere ospiti in casa come voi: estremamente puliti, precisi e rispettosi di tutto l'appartamento. Faccio solo notare che il feedback dovrebbe riguardare soltanto l'appartamento e non l'intero paese. Sono certo che il mio appartamento è stato di gradimento del Sig. L. in quanto ne ho ricevuto conferma privatamente.

Nice Well functioning, hosts exceeded all expectat

The apartment was all we expected and more :) The terrace on top of house had nice view towards Etna and well equipped with furniture and kitchen too. The hosts were never longer than a sms away and always kind and helping. They were very heartfelt welcoming. It was very easy to make appointments with them, also arriving and departing hours. The apartment are in a residential area and the city itself very well functioning. Few minutes walking to the train station and to rural charming beach. We highly recommend both apartment and hosts, and we definitely will come back.
