We had a delightful stay at Villa Ortensia, which was our base for exploring Catania, Mount Enta, and the surrounding sites. It was easy to find and it's in a gated community right across from the beach. The room was clean and very comfortable, but the highlight of our stay was breakfast in the garden each morning. Just lovely!

Everything was good

Quiet location and great location for swimming at the local lidos (private swimming areas). Great balcony and shared kitchen was a plus. Short walk to downtown which has the castle, restaurants and more. Adequate breakfast included. Definitely recommend.

Nothing in particular

The vibe, service, location and breakfast

One evening, the party in the lido was quite loud, but with earplugs no problem.

Great, sweet Italian breakfast in the garden, very friendly staff. Nice view of the sea.

There is only one bus going to Catania and it is not often. However, the place is close to Aci Castello where visit the castle and find some restaurants.

I stayed four nights and enjoyed my time. Room is small but enough. I really like the balcony. People are really friendly and kind. I need to leave earlier than breakfast time. They kindly offer early breakfast.

A nice oasis at the end of a busy day of touring. Ensa was molto gentile. Breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, cereal and fresh croissants etc. Our room was not large but perfectly fine. A quite good restaurant is within easy walking distance.

Very good location near the sea, and quite close to Aci Castello at 15-20 min. walking distance. Nice villa with garden, clean and spacious room. Very friendly staff. Italian breakfast with fresh products.

The insulation of the rooms is not good. We could hear all noises from the neighboring rooms, from corridor and kitchen. And when this happen at 5 am, is not that pleasant.

The location is very good, on the sea side, with a very nice view. The hosts are very nice and ready to support. The breakfast was also good.

Excellent location just outside the hustle and bustle of Catania but with easy access to the city. Lovely area to walk and be near to the sea and good restaurants nearby. Very good value for money.

Very nice house with cosy rooms and a wild garden where breakfast is served. Parking in front possible, beach clubs directly in front. The hosts with Enza and Erminia were extremely friendly, answering all questions and come with all recommendations necessary for nice holidays.

This property was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The garden where breakfast was hosted was very cute and well kept. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, plenty of fresh baked treats and fresh fruits and juices. The woman that prepared our breakfast was extremely friendly, and gave us plenty of excellent recommendations for things to do in the area. Erminia was an exceptional host, she was very responsive to all of our messages and requests, and made us feel very welcome. The property was in a great location, close to many excellent restaurants in Aci Castello and right by the sea. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing time in the area!

It was nice and clean, staff was always polite and helpful. They gave me some advice about travelling around the Catania, which was perfect.

There were loud neighbors, they shouted like an animal and make noise with the doors around 1 a.m. I know it's not a fault of the accommodation, but I wanted to let them know.

Breakfast was fine, the woman was really kind :) Rom was perfect with spectacular view.

Nothing

The facility is behind gates and very quiet despite being in the center of a beach community. Staff was excellent as was the breakfast (eggs cooked to order!) and room. Nice balcony where we could sit overlooking the garden.
