The loft is a dream with two beautiful terraces: one with a view to the sea and the other one a splendid view on the Etna! The loft is indeed very comfortable. Orazio and Guisy, our hosts, were very friendly and helpful. This was by far our best stay in Italy.

Diane and Riland were very loving and kind to us. They have captured the spirit of the house and behaved in an impeccable and generous manner. Lucky hosts who will have them as guests.
Wow, just wow. What an absolutely amazing stay here! The hosts are most sweet, friendly and helpful. Upon arrival we were greeted with some local delicacies and they had provided both bed and chair for our 8 month old daugther. The apartment has everything you need and has the most stunning views of the sea and of Etna from the two terrances. The charming city of Riposto with supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants is a 20 min walk along the sea and you can use the apartment as a greatly located base for visiting Taormina, Catania, Etna, wineries and much more. All in all our stay was everything we could wish for - and more. We will never ever forget the time we spent here and already dream of returning.

We are very happy we had the opportunity to meet Martin, Mette and baby Alice.
Martin and Mette easily combine pleasure of travelling with careful care of their baby. They immediately empathised with the community. It was a real pleasure for us to meet them. Baby Alice, who tasted her first ice-cream in Catania, charmed us and everyone in Riposto :)
We hope to see them again and wish them all the best.
Sehr schöne, großzügige Ferienwohnung mit 2 Terrassen und wunderschönen Aussichten, hinten auf den Ätna, vorne liegt direkt das Meer. Die Vermieter sind überaus freundlich. Wir können die Wohnung jederzeit empfehlen.
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.

Siamo felici di essere stati scelti da Dirk & Maren per la loro vacanza in Sicilia. Sono stati gli ospiti che ogni host desidera, hanno saputo apprezzare e vivere lo spirito della casa. Bella esperienza,
Les photos sur le site internet représentent parfaitement ce que nous avons vécus,une belle terrasse avec vue sur la mer et une autre terrasse avec vue sur Etna. Très joliment décorée. Le propriétaire Orizio vit en bas et est très serviable. Nous avons vraiment appréciés notre séjour, très bien situé pour visiter les villes autour.

Paul and Martine were exceptional hosts, they adopted the house, the flowers and the plants which we found beautiful and luxurious. We will be happy to welcome you again.
Logement superbe encore plus spacieux que sur les photos. Les terrasses sont splendides avec des vues a couper le souffle et tres bien arborées. Très bien situé dans un environnement calme, il permet de visiter les lieux incontournables de la Sicile.
Nos hotes sont d une gentillesse inégalable, noys preparant un petit repas maison à notre arrivée ainsi que de nombreuses attentions délicates ( fruits, glace traditionnelle, bouteille de vin pétillant local...) sans compter les autres prestations dignes d' un hôtel ( linge sortant du pressing changé au cours du séjour, ustensiles neufs...)
Merci à Orazio et sa femme pour leur accueil et nous recommandons vivement à tous ceux qui veulent visiter la Sicile de venir dans ce bel endroit.

Anne Sophie et son compagnon étaient d'excellents hôtes, très chaleureux, sympathiques et généreux. Ils ont apprécié la beauté naturelle de la région. Ils étaient curieux et ouverts à de nouvelles expériences, sympathisant avec le mode de vie et les coutumes des habitants. Ils ont adopté la maison, les fleurs et les plantes que nous avons trouvées belles et luxuriantes. Nous serions heureux de les avoir à nouveau comme invités.
La location est très agréable. On s'y sent comme chez soi. Elle est très bien équipée. Les terrasses sont extrêmement agréable. L'accueil a été super ! Allez-y sans aucune hésitation.

Chers Laurence et Roger, vous avez été de parfaits hôtes, vous avez apprécié nos conseils et vous avez été curieux de découvrir de nouveaux lieux et de nouvelles saveurs. Merci de prendre soin des fleurs et de laisser la maison parfaitement rangée et propre.
Dall'arrivo alla partenza è stata una esperienza molto positiva.
Il ben arrivati con Spumante, bocconcini vegetali, frutta e cioccolatini è stato molto gradito e in aspettato.
La struttura è moderna ben arredata con una vista impagabile sia sul mare che sull'Etna.
Chi ama alzarsi presto il mattino può godere di una spettacolare alba sul mare.
Utili i consigli dei proprietari per quanto attiene a locali e o visite.
Di solito non amo tornare nei luoghi già visti, ma sinceramente sto valutando di contravvenire a questa regola perché il posto è SPETTACOLARE.

Siamo molto contenti di avere avuto l’opportunità di conoscere Patrizia e Giorgio, da subito si sono dimostrati cordiali e amichevoli e gia’ li consideriamo nostri amici. Sarebbe molto bello incontrarli di nuovo.
2 Terassen mit Ausblick aufs Meer und den Ätna. Dazwischen der Wohnbereich mit einem sehr guten Bett und einer neuen Klimaanlage. Die Ausstattung vollständig. Die Vermieter, Orazio und Giusy sind super nett. Wir wurden mit Sekt und einem tollen Imbiss empfangen. Bäckerei, Obst und Gemüse, Supermarkt und Fisch, alles in ca 1.5km Entfernung. Klare 5 Sterne von mir.

Claudia and Rolf were perfect hosts. Discreet and very polite, they took care of our plants and left the house in perfect order. It was a pleasure to host them and it would be an honor to do so again
Nicht nur die Wohnung, sondern auch das Vermieterpaar sind außergewöhnlich. Sie strahlen Freundlichkeit und gleichzeitig eine angenehme Zurückhaltung aus. Wir würden sie gern bei uns als Freunde aufnehmen.
Die Wohnung und vor allem die zwei Terrassen sind größer als sie auf den Bildern erscheinen. Eine Terrasse mit Meerblick-die andere mit Blick auf Etna.
Wohnung hat eine Innen- und eine Aussenküche, Waschmaschine, Spüler und Fahrräder stehen zur Verfügung.
Nochmal: Die schönste von und je gemietete Wohnung.
Liebe Grüße

We are happy to have had the opportunity to meet Sylvia and Burkhard, whom we consider two special friends.
Already at the first meeting, they proved to be spontaneous and generous, affectionate and nice people, immediately making us feel at ease.
We are happy with the friendship they have shown us and we reciprocate heartily.
We thank them so much for having appreciated the house and the panorama that surrounds it.
We would certainly be delighted to see Sylvia and Burkhard again.
Wonderful Property. Couple shortcomings on informational aspects.
Lots of fruit, a box of pastries, Prosecco and wine on arrival absolutely wonderful and SO appreciated after flight from North America and drive from Catania. Apartment is fabulous - front balcony onto ocean and rear balcony onto Etna incredible. Very clean and very comfortable. Hosts very friendly. Need a car to get around. Should provide more detailed local information - location of market and restaurants + opening hours. Also, the address is not Riposto (according to our Garmin GPS), but Torre Archirafi. Created some confusion.
Beautiful apartment in a quiet area. Not overlooked and two amazing terraces to choose from. Hosts were delightful! Left gorgeous food, fruit and wine for us.
La casa di Orazio e Giusy è davvero stupenda, arredata con molto gusto, tutto di design.
Ci sono ben 2 terrazzi, uno che affaccia sul mare da dove abbiamo visto delle meravigliose albe, e l’altro che dona lo spettacolo dell’Etna!
Orazio e Giusy ci hanno fatto trovare tantissime sorprese, dalla frutta fresca allo spumante! E tante altre cose, acqua, caffè, cioccolata.. dolci tipici... un accoglienza da 10!!!
Aria condizionata perfetta, Wifi ottimo segnale, c’e Persino una cucina esterna molto comoda!!
Riposto è un punto strategico per visitare la zona, come Taormina, Isola Bella, Zafferana, Gola di Alcantara, Catania e molto altro ancora!! A nostro avviso Riposto è il posto giusto per conoscere la vera Sicilia.
Siamo stati benissimo! Consigliamo a tutti questa proprietà!!
Ci torneremo senz’altro!!!
Orazio, Giusy e Doris grazie di tutto, è stato un piacere conoscervi!!!

Die Wohnung ist ganz wunderbar, sehr sauber und die Gastgeber eine Klasse für sich. Die Köstlichkeiten, die als Willkommensgruß vorhanden waren, haben wir genossen. Ebenso die Ausblicke von den Terrassen. Einen Tag vor unserer Anreise ist der Ätna ausgebrochen und Orazio hat uns per Whatsapp mit tollen Fotos darüber informiert. Tagelang konnten wir abends die glühende Lava von der "Ätna-Terrasse" sehen und waren beeindruckt. Auch die Infrastruktur ist gut, einige Minuten entfernt befinden sich Restaurants, Bars, ein kleiner Lebensmittelladen. Wir haben die Wohnung bereits einigen Freunden und Nachbarn empfohlen. Vielen Dank Orazio und Giusy

Riposto retreat
We had a really nice time in this beautifully kept apartment with fantastic views of the Mediterranean out the front and Mount Etna at the back. Orazio and Giusy who own the property are fantastic and have taken create care over the property. We arrived late due to a delayed flight but they were there to greet us, they left a bottle of Brut, the most amazing home cooked aubergine dish, a selection of local pastries, milk, pastries and fruit! In addition, they also helped us out when our wing mirror was knocked off our car.
The apartment is well stocked with necessities, a coffee machine, kettle, pots, pans etc. There are folders with information about local attractions and places to eat. We were allowed to borrow bikes to cycle into town, but it is also a nice ~20min walk along the seafront. We cooked a couple of times in the flat and eat out in Riposto.
Etna was covered in cloud for most of our stay but we were blessed with a view of the summit on our last morning.
Overall highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and experience eastern Siciliy

2 terrasses exceptionnelles avec vues!
Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine dans cet appartement bien situé ( dans un village tranquille), bien equipé, avec ses 2 magnifiques terrasses dont une directement sur la mer et l'autre avec vue impressionnante sur l'Etna. L'autoroute est facilement accessible pour visiter tous les sites les plus intéressant: Taormina, Syracuse, Noto et bien sûr prendre la route qui fait le tour de l'Etna. Nous avons été bien accueilli par les propriétaires avec d'excellentes pâtisseries et un plateau de fruits variés. L' appartement était d'une propreté impeccable à l'arrivée. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cette proprieté pour un séjour des plus agréables en Sicile.

Difficile de quitter cet appartement, deux grandes terrasses, une qui surplombe la mer, l'autre qui vous offre la vue sur l'Etna. Un appartement décoré avec soin et complet dans les équipements. Les propriétaires sont très attentifs et vous donnent de bons conseils pour votre séjour. Vous avez une cuisine extérieure.

Ein perfektes Domizil - SPITZE!
Wir durften im Juli zwei traumhafte Wochen auf Sizilien in der Wohnung von Giusy und Orazio verleben. Wir haben schon viele Ferienwohnung gemietet, aber diese hat alle anderen übertroffen. Von der Ausstattung her ist wirklich an alles gedacht, es fehlt an nichts und dazu noch sehr hochwertiges Equipement. Die beiden Terrassen sind noch schöner als auf den Fotos, frühstücken mit dem beeindruckenden Blick auf den Ätna oder aufs Meer, da kann der Urlaub nur erholsam sein. Die Lage der Wohnung hat uns gut gefallen, es war ein guter Ort, auch um Ausflüge zu machen.
Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit! Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und uns sehr wohlgefühlt!!!
Wir vergeben gerne die höchste Punktzahl, 100% Weiterempfehlung!!!
