We had an amazing stay here. We think when Airbnb started this is the type of place and experience they wanted travelers to have. Paola and her family were such amazing hosts. They took the time to show us how everything worked in the house, experiences and places to eat nearby, and cooked us and incredible lunch on our arrival. We spent 3 weeks in Italy with the majority of our trip in Paola's bnb and I'm so glad this was the case. If you're looking for a relaxing setting on a private beach this is the place for you.
We had more than sufficient space for 4 adults, 1 child and 1 toddler. Paola's husband is an engineer and it shows in the build of the house. Everything from living space, outdoors space, bathrooms, and kitchen is top of the line. We worked during our trip and appreciated the two separate routers and speedy wifi access. It enabled myself and my wife to work at the same time while the kids were watching netflix on the smart tv.
When we booked this bnb our top requirement was beachfront access and it did not disappoint. We didn't know the area very well but learned to enjoy using the space as a home base and going to explore this area of Sicily. It's a 20 minute ride into Catania and we loved the town of Brucoli also 20 minutes away. We did londer day trips to Syracuse, Ortigia, Noto, and Modica (all must see places if staying for an extended time). We hit countless other towns: Augusta, Lentini, Carlentini and wish we had more time. We are looking forward to coming back and staying here again.
