    It was all great. No complaints.

    This place is a perfect mix between well managed and manicured common spaces and private areas next to your apartment / villa. So if you want to mix with the other guests great. If not then that’s great too. Wonderful views over the sea. Relaxing. Quiet. Wonderful. And taking about wonderful - Luigi the owner / manager is so communicative, a font of knowledge on where to go, how to get there, where to park etc. he’s the man !

    everything was great

    We had a great stay at the apartment with the pool- everything was amazing! The place was clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing. The pool was a big plus, and the view was beautiful. Luigi welcomed us and was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. The location was also great- it was close to the nearest shop and other attractions. We truly recommend this place- we had a wonderful time!

    Stunning location, best Host ever, magic place we can't recommend enough!

    The only thing was that our small private pool had water that tasted bit chemically (maybe had some water cleaning stuff) and I preferred to not have my kids swimming there. The bigger pool was perfect though!

    Fantastic location, beautiful garden full of lush trees and plants, beautifully maintained. Stunning view on the coast and sunrise. Luigi was the best Host ever, super friendly, helpful, sharing tips, even prepared hot tub for us one evening - couldn't imagine a better host really. The place is calm and surrounded by nature, not touristic, had an authentic vibe, the interiors had many little elements lice ceramic etc, you can feel the heart and effort put into every detail. Thank you Luigi and Team!

    Unfortunately we had some rain during our stay. It would have been nice if there was an awning over the side patio so we could have still been outside as it was warm out, just wet. There are no soft chairs or a couch inside the property so when you have to stay indoors it is not that comfortable sitting at the kitchen table.

    Luigi was very helpful and responsive and made checking in and out very easy.

    The swimming pool wasn't clean so I didn't feel like to use it. If you have trees around you need to work hard to keep it nice and clean.

    The area is amazing like tropical garden. The apartment is spacious and you get everything you need. It is a great spot to go to Taormina or to Etna but peaceful and calm. The views from the terrace are great, you can watch the sea and coast while having morning coffee. There are other apartments but it gives you a feeling of privacy. There is a small round tub for you but water was quite cold.

    Location was remote and not what booking.com state. It's 49 kilometres from Catania Airport and the taxi ride was €150. Our advice is hire a car at the airport, don't use SIXT as they wanted €707 for 5 days car hire, use Hertz in the booth next door as they charge €410 for 5 days hire. Forget Mascali beach, its not what it's cracked up to be. There are nicer places elsewhere. Other downside which makes parts of Sicily look dreadful is the fly tipping and litter by the roadside. This was even on local news with the Sicilians complaining about it. We noticed this as soon as we left the airport but it gets better as you head into the rural areas.

    Excellent accommodation, we were in the separate 3 bedroom complex with its own gardens, private pool and Jacuzzi, Luigi the owner was a great host, he even rescued us from Giarre after we couldn't get a taxi and took us to a local place where we were able to hire a car at a good price. Lungi speaks Excellent English. Facilities were superb, great views down to local towns and the sea. Would definitely stay again. Train ride around ETNA was nice. Ask Luigi about this. Taormina is a beautiful town up the coast and reachable easily by car.

    The bed could be a bit more comfortable, but that could be a personal preference.

    The place is beautiful and Luigi is a great host. Places like the beach, the Etna, and popular destinations are within reach and Luigi has some great tips for all of them. The swimming pool gets cleaned daily and is relaxing, especially with the stunning view in the background. I would definitely recommend it, as well for couples as families.
