Casa Aranci

The house has a lovely view of the Mediterranean and is perfectly situated to visit Mt. Etna and Taramino.The house was very well equipped and Mario, the charming host, left essentials and special goodies.All in all a great stop.

Mario is a delightful and oh-so-helpful host for his beautiful space. He goes out of his way to help, and it makes the life of a traveler so much easier. The space itself is lovely, with the 3rd floor (kitchen and deck and sitting area) being the stand-out. We personally loved the bells chiming (6 a.m. - 10 p.m.). We were a group of 4, two single women and a couple, and the space gave us all both our privacy and our communal space. I cannot give a big enough shout-out to Mario---thank you SO MUCH!!

It was wonderful. Mario contacted us well ahead with tips and information. The parking spot that comes with the house is great, there is no parking otherwise. Mario checked at 4am! whether our taxi came to bring us to the airport. He organized a chef and our family had great fun watching him cook and later eat the goodies. Mario stayed to help clean. There was fruit, water and cookies upon arrival and he brought some bakery during our stay. You couldn't ask for a better host.

We had a lovely stay this summer at Mario’s place. The house was very clean and comfortable, with an amazing view of the sea. We loved the balcony off kitchen, and the location of the house central to main square in town and the path down to the sea. The kitchen was well equipped and we were pleasantly surprised with the A/C in the bedrooms and kitchen area. Mario was a very thoughtful and responsive host, answering questions promptly about recommendations and logistics and providing us a few food items to get us started (milk, butter, coffee etc) and some local bakery treats. Acireale is well located to exploring Mt.Etna and vicinity.

Mario ist ein ausgesprochen zuvorkommender und unglaublich freundlicher Gastgeber, der uns persönlich willkommen und verabschiedet hat. Die Wohnung ist in tadellosem Zustand und alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Wir können die Wohnung und Mario uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!
