We have spent one week in Ancora Bianca in the Stromboli B apartment and it was great from all points of view! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great customer service
I have asked many questions in advance and Jessica / Carmelo were extremely prompt and gave me all the information I needed to prepare our arrival. Carmelo was welcoming us and he was present in a very discrete way all the time when we needed him. He gave us great tips for food and places to visit!
The apartment
The appartement was very clean and perfectly equipped for cooking, breakfast (coffee machines available) , enjoying dinner & a glass of wine on the private terrasse...
Noise: despite of some comments I have read with regards to the street noise I have to say that this was not at all loud, we were not bothered by that. On the contrary, we have enjoyed the sound and air of the sea just couple of meters away...
We were also lucky to be surrounded by quiet nice guests with great well behaving kids.
Position of Ancora Bianca: PERFECT ! If you search for privacy, calm and great sea this is the perfect place. This residence is not placed in the animated areas therefore you need to be prepared for that. It depends what you are looking for.
There is a take away restaurant nearby (for emergency situation, the food is pretty basic), however, you need a car if you want to go for dinner in the restaurants. There are some really good ones (recommended by Carmelo) 10- 15 min by car max.
(Tip: if you come from Catania on your way to Ancora Bianca I would recommend you stop by Parco Corolla in Milazzo and do some basic grocery shopping for breakfast, drinks, ice-cream... That was very useful for us. There is a big fridge/ freezer in the apartment.)
The parking is inside the residence, and the entire place is secured.
In addition, there is also a pool, perfect for kids. It is not an olympic pool but big enough to enjoy some time around. We came for the sea & beach not for the pool :-)
The sea is 2 m away and the water temperature was perfect. The sand is grey, not so sticky like the gold one but a little bit chunky as this is a volcano beach. Very nice, we enjoyed a lot the private beach with few people only on it.
The beach is cleaned all the time by Carmelo and the personnel despite unfortunately non educated tourists leaving cigarettes and plastic in the sand . So please, if you go there respect the nature, the personnel’s effort and the other residents and keep the beach clean! 🧜‍♀️🙏
Ancora Bianca is max 2 hours away from any beautiful destination in this area, be it Cefalu, Taormina, Catania or Etna Parc. And you can visit the Aeolian Islands from Milazzo , all well organized.
We have spent a wonderful time here and certainly we will come back! Thank you Carmelo and Jessica! 🥇🥇🏆
