    There was nothing I didn’t like about the property itself. The only minor issue was mosquitoes, but that’s just part of the environment. Also, since it was off-season, the area was quite quiet and a few places were closed—but that also added to the peaceful vibe.

    The property was spotless, spacious, and full of natural light, with patios and balconies on both sides that made it feel really open and airy. It was peaceful—you could hear the sea and watch the fishermen heading out. The air conditioning worked well, and the internet was fast—perfect for working or relaxing. The local area was quiet but charming, with friendly shops and cafés nearby. Most importantly, the host was fantastic—really helpful, friendly, and went out of his way to assist me, including arranging a taxi back to the airport. A big thank you to him.

    The isolation between other rooms is not the best. If someone speaks very loud you can hear each word. But we didn't have any issues with that.

    The apartment is just next to the beach. Also there was no problem with parking on the street in front of the building. The market and some restaurants are very close. The view to Etna on one side and to the beach on the other side is exceptional.

    It can be a bit noisy in the morning, because of the bell tower nearby and only few people speak english in that region and its quite difficult to have a conversation

    Large apartment (we booked the one on the second floor), equipped with everything you need, a big balcony with very nice view, nice host, even sun-beds and umbrella were provided by the host in order to use them on the public beach. Also there is a private beach nearby. There are restaurants in a fee minutes walk distance and you can visit by car plenty of eastern coast towns being located here (eg. Taormina is half an hour driving)

    The mattress was hard to my liking. Apart from a bed sheet there was a blanket, however it would be could to have a quilt which can easily be washed like the sheets for hygienic purposes.

    The property has an amazing view right from the balcony and living area. It was clean and had all the basics required. Easy access to the beach from within the property and there is free parking on the street. We went in March and the area was nice and quiet. Restaurants and supermarkets within close reach. The doors and windows block the outside noise.

    Apartment needs a little bit of light renovation here and there. Quite hard mattress, we used blanket to soften it. Looks like italians wake early and get to work - beach bar workers worked very early, worked, drove with tracktor ect. The apartment has good windows, didnt mind the working noises when we shut the windows.

    Nice apartment with THE view. Owner was nice and cooperative. Good food places on the same street. Groucery shop over the street. Bigger shop Spar is in Mascali, ab 2km away. From the Mascali you can take the bus or train to Taormina and Giardini Naxos. Be careful not to miss them in the evening or on the weekends, taxi is very expencive if you find it at all.

    It would be nice to have some cooking basics, like salt, pepper oil. Also, while we were staying, there were construction works going on on the beach, but that is something that the owners cannot control.

    The apartment is located right at the beach. Beautiful view from the window. The apartment was very spacious. We were 4 adults and there were 2 separate bedrooms and a living room. Huge terrace. Very responsive owner. He also let us use the underground garage for free, although there’s plenty of space to park on the street. The beach was not crowded at all. In the city there are several supermarkets. The Wi-Fi is also fast enough, if you work remotely.

    I can only say good things about the flat. It is very, very big, very cosy and well equipped. The restaurants and grocery shops are close by. I especially liked the panorama. We felt very comfortable here. Thank you Salvo. I can only recommend it. We were very satisfied. Thank you very much! Grazie mille! Alla prossima! Famiglia Novak AGNES 🤗

    I didn't like the blanket with a sheet solution which is usual in many countries but in my country we put the blanket into a case. It's more hygenic. In the balcony there weren't cushions on the metal chairs, they were cold to sit on.

    The apartment is in the high street of a small resort. It is very clean, spacious and comfortable. The view of the sea is wonderful. We stayed there in May so not many shops or restaurants were open but not far there is a great place to have breakfast.

    Omg, the best accomodation in Sicily. You have the feeling that you are at home. The location is just perfect, first row to the beach. Also, the place is isolated from main roads, so it's very calm, but with restaurants, shops and gas station right next to you. I recommend Casa Samira if you plan to stay just here, but also if you plan to explore Sicily by car, because it's very well located. The owner was very nice and helpful. See you soon

    Mosquitos. They didn't let us sleep at night. Also because of mosquitos it was not possible to sit outside on a balcony in the evening. Maybe mosquitos are seasonal.

    We loved to stay in this apartment, which is spacious and quite large for a couple. It suits well for a family stay with kids. The apartment is on the seaside - very convenient, especially when smth is planned for a day and there is only a limited time for a short swim. Meeting sunrise is possible just from the balcony. The location is close to Taormine - a highly recommended beautiful tourist city. Very helpful, hospitable and supportive hosts.

    The Heavy wooden Toilet seat was broken and hit us on the back every time we used it (two ladies) which was very unpleasant. The balcony table was broken with a leg about to fall off making it difficult to move. Shower was somewhat dirty which was unpleasant. The door key was cracked and we couldn’t open it a few times. We were only provided with one key between two people which made it somewhat inconvenient. To enter the apartment block door you had to launch yourself at the door with all your weight to open it resulting in falling into the hallway at speed which was somewhat dangerous and unacceptable. I had to call the owner on the first night as we were locked out of the block not realising how much force we had to use to get in the door. Very disappointed that at the start of the season the apartment had broken items - this poor care and attention to detail about the comfort of guests in the apartment. No apartment information booklet in the apartment they didn’t even give us the Wi-Fi code. I had to contact the owners for the simplest things. The owners were however very keen to tell us when we would be charged extra i.e. charged €30 to check-in at 20h30. Also if we lost (or left it in the apartment) the one and only door key there was a €30 charge to be let into the apartment. Also beware you have to pay €5 a day to use their garage for a car so we parked on the street.

    Property is spacious, these is big balcony with beach view. Walkable to restaurants although many were closed and do not seem to open until mid June.

    The apartment is rather basic. It is attic and one needs to bend over to fit the terrace door (unless one is very short or is a kid), one also needs to bend over to use the toilet. There was also damp smell in the bathroom. Otherwise, the place is quite spacious, the building is well maintained, we felt safe, and all functions as expected.

    Location just at the beach. Easy arrival. No problems with parking - free parking at the street nearby (beginning of May). Efficient and prompt communication with the host. Comfortable beds, separate bedroom and a sofa bed in the main room. Nice sea view terrace with big table for meals with four chairs, two deckchairs, a sunshade. Good wi-fi. Good price - quality ratio. Ideal option to stay if your budget is limited, but you would still like to explore more of Sicily (which is not cheap - travel, entrance fees,...).

    Parking garage entrance very steep so we opted to park on the street didn't look easy to get in and out. The apartment feels it needs a little TLC, shower not very powerful (water was hot after a request to boost). shutters don't all work. kitchen is basic, no wine glasses just tumblers. no beach towels which as we flew would of been useful even if an extra charge. Pebble beach (take water shoes) and rough waves meant we didn't swim as much as we wanted to.

    directly on the beach. rooms a good size, air conditioning worked well when we needed it. Balcony great for relaxing and eating. washing machine worked well. easy check in and out. close to shop and somewhere to eat. deck chairs and umbrella for the beach. good location to explore the area.
