We had a great vacation at Luciano‘s. The house was great for 3 couples, the kitchen area very well equipped and all the outside areas were just astonishing. The pool is just an absolute highlight - huge, clean, and even with a nice view of the Etna. Our few cons were the comfort of the beds and the heavy presence of ants all around the kitchen (we know that’s hard too prevent but we did buy all the anti ant stuff ourselves. However, Luciano did provide a lot of anti moskito things).
The house is also nicely located with a great spot to jump into the ocean just 5 minutes away (bring water shoes!), as well as a well equipped supermarket and a lovely bakery within walking distance. There were not that many restaurants around (Red Lions pizza was great), but it’s just a 30 min drive to beautiful Siracusa.
Communication with Luciano was very easy (via WhatsApp), he is a nice guy who always responds quite quickly. Also he was very open regarding the cancellation terms due to COVID which thank god were not necessary.
Altogether we recommend this place to our friends and would definitely consider to come back. The 4 star rating is more a 4,5 with the con of the beds (its Air BED and breakfast after all). Also we are not sure what to expect from Air BnB PLUS as this was a great stay but not worlds away from other places we stayed (outside of the amazing garden and pool!). Thank you Luciano!
