Catania: Ferienunterkünfte am Meer

Ersteindruck von außen bei Ankunft: Ähm. Graue Häuserfront. Dann aber: Tür ging auf. Äußerst freundlicher Empfang, herrlicher Innenhof, Wohnung mit charmantem Charakter. Nur 5 Minuten fussläufig in die lebhafte Altstadt voller Kultur und Lokalen. Kurzum: herrlich!

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung mit unglaublich schönen Blick (Meer und Ätna), was will man mehr. Gastgeber die ein herzlich willkommen heißen und alles erklären, Tipps für den Urlaub geben und einem das Gefühl vermitteln alles richtig gemacht zu haben.

We travelled in December and were very pleasantly surprised with both the weather and our apartment. The host kept us updated well in advance and just before we arrived he had to leave but organised a personalised check in with a very pleasant host who waited for us until late in the night and showed us the apartment in details. This is indeed a luxury compared to other places where all you get is a code which may or may not work (even in very digital environments such as in Oslo!). The apartment was very clean in every corner, and there was a generous welcome basket full of goodies waiting for us.....very thoughtful! The beds were comfortable and the shower perfect ...... so we had no need to miss the comforts of home. The entire place was tastefully decorated and cosy, unlike many other commercial flats such that I did not feel I was in a non-personal holiday home but felt at home easily. Amazingly there was some very helpful person readily available for help which is almost unknown of these days and deserves special mention. The view is fantastic on the roof terrace where we sat and drank our red wine under moonlight, sea in front and mountain in the back, until late at night one week before Christmas....forgetting all about shopping and work. We will certainly be visiting there again.

Gut

Wir waren nach fünf Jahren wieder da und vom Zauber dieses Ortes ist nichts verflogen. Es gibt sehr viele Orte und Sehenswürdigkeiten, die man erreichen kann und am Ätna zu wohnen ist schon etwas besonderes. Angelo und Mario sind nach wie vor bezaubernde Gastgeber. Man kann es nur empfehlen, man ist einfach gerne dort. Tante Grazie!
