Beatiful BnB by the Sea
Beautiful BnB by the sea. We thouroghly enjoyed breakfast on the patio each morning and admired the garden courtyard. Everyone, including those in town, went out of their way to make our stay an enjoyable one. Remember to get the Ortensia phone number to open the front gate.

Quaint Comfy Hotel
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a Rick Steves recommendation. The breakfast, which was extra, was very good and plentiful. We had a car and there was parking right in front of the hotel. I would stay there again.

Beautiful property full of antiques
Beautiful room furnished with antiques and art. Pretty small touches - beautiful bedding, marble-covered dressing tables, stone-clad shower walls. Handy kitchen and balcony for the guests disposal. Very comfy four poster bed. Breakfast paid separately - range of sweet bakes or cooked savoury breakfast on demand.

My husband and I visited Catania for 5 days. My Italian friend recommended us to stay away from central Catania so we looked for somewhere within reasonable distance from the airport (less than 30 minute drive). It's just under an hour drive to Taormina and to the meeting point at Mount Etna where we did excursion. The villa is so beautiful with a lovely garden. The area is quiet and near the sea. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Our room is so clean and tidy. Good selection of Sicilian breakfast too. They also provide private parking in a secure area which is important to us since we know vandalism is quite an issue there. We really feel safe to leave our car there. We had a very pleasant stay here. Recommend it!

Erminia was great and really helpful throughout our stay and the airport transfer we arranged was fab. Would definitely recommend staying here - if only for the freshly baked cakes at breakfast!

Pleasant vfm stay
We stayed a bit by accident due to some faulty map planning but it turned out to be a very pleasant first night in Sicily. Friendly and helpful hostess, charming little room felt very like staying as a house guest. Excellent value. Couple of relevant points though; it is not in the town itself - i would think a mile out - and it is very anonymous in the street, being behind big gates (get clear instructions before you go). That said there is a good bar/restaurant/pizzeria 200 yds away with sea views. Breakfast usually outside in garden. Cant entirely describe as the electric co dug up the road and turned the power off (so juicer/toaster etc out of action). Bathroom clean and worked and had hairdryer.

Nice B&B
We stayed here for our last night of 10-day Sicily trip. B&B is located close to the private beach, although the beach itself was not as nice as we excepted we enjoyed our stay here. Owners were vary nice and friendly. There is a cute little town Aci Castello nearby which offers a good selection of restaurants and places to eat out or have a drink.

Charming B&B!
We loved our stay at Villa Ortensia. The hosts were more than accommodating and lovely to be around. The location was great, there is an excellent beach club just at the end of the street. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
