It is always a great pleasure to receive "stars" from a special group as you were. Glad that children appreciated their stay. They are the most important part of a group!

At home in Sicily
Wonderful terrace apartment with comfy beds and all the amenities you could need. Fresh linens delivered weekly and the Kindest owns we have encountered. Maria and Ricardo happened to be there with their family during our stay, they were so welcoming it was just like being surrounded by family. We were invited to a cook out celebration with thier family and friends, we had one if the best nights. Our terrace patio was used day and night, with an excellent view of the mountains and we even had a charcoal grill up there that we used very often. If you cant climb 3 flights of stairs this is not what your looking for. We however wished we coukd have stayed long, the bakeries, butcher, store owners couldn't have been any nicer and patient with us. We will be back❤️Thank You Maria and Ricardo for your friendship and kindness, also Carlo you were a tremendous help to us. Giovanni, we appreciate all that you did for us as well, your a great person 😊

Hi Cindy, I have no words to thank you for your fantastic review and the detailed comment. Just a minor note: there are only two flights of stairs to the Terrace Suite, as the Terrace Suite is located on the second floor of the house. Please come back any time you will be be in Sicily again. Wishing you all the best in you new family reunion...

Casteldaccia
Property was central to everything one would need for vacation i.e.: grocery store, restaurants, pharmacy, atms etc. However, it is not a town conducive to walking, sidewalks are difficult at best and non-existent in some places. This is simply architecture in some Sicilian towns. The house was roomy and had wonderful outdoor spaces with a great view of the mountains. There is so much to see in Sicily and while you can get around on buses a car greatly expands your options. Allessandra was great and easy to reach, and responded quickly. Overall, good vacation experience.

lovely place, fantabulous owners :))
The property is located in a small town and it looks quite ordinary from the street, but as soon as you cross the gate you fell like walking into a different world. We arrived at very early morning hours but the owners waited and greeted us on arrival. The accommodation is spacious with big roofed terrace accommodating separate shower, dining area as well as barbecue and outside lounging set. We spent amazing time in there. The villa is located close to a small beach (5 minutes drive), various restaurants, supermarket, bakery and patisseries where you can get all the traditional sweets and of course gelato. The owners- amazing people- friendly, helpful, very hospitable. On the last day we overstayed due to a late flight. Although the check out is 10 am Maria offered her place for us to stay until we are good to go for the airport. Highly recommend, next time in Sicily I'll stay with Maria and Ricardo. Love you guys

Vacanza Casteldaccia
Struttura molto funzionale per le esigenze legate al tipo di vacanza, attrezzata di tutto e tutto confortevole. Io e gli altri ospiti siamo stati veramente bene, anche perchè siamo capitati proprio nel pieno della festa patronale "San Giuseppe". Poi cosa dire di Giovanni, una persona con un carattere gradevole, mai inopportuno e mai invadente e sempre e comunque a disposizione. Unico neo che con poco potrebbe essere scongiurato, le pulizie dovrebbero essere sensibilmente più approfondite. del resto tutto OK e grazie ancora delle belle giornate passate a Casteldaccia e dintorni.

Kleine Oase mitten im Ort
Schöne kleine Oase mitten im Ort. Vielen herzlichen Dank auch an Silvia und Giovanni für ihre immer freundliche Hilfe. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge mit dem Auto oder der Bahn. Der Weg zum Bahnhof zu Fuß ist lebensmüde. Strand nicht der Rede wert und schmutzig. Die Wohnung war gut ausgestattet,alles wie beschrieben. Der Ort an sich hat uns nicht so gefallen, aber das muss jeder für sich entscheiden.

Un beau séjour
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Rien ne manquait dans l'appartement. Nous occupions le 2e étage par lequel l'accessibilité se fait par un escalier en colimaçon, mais un système électrique est installé qui permet de monter les bagages et les courses. Il y a également une très jolie douche sur la terrasse en plus, ce qui est très agréable😎. La literie est très confortable. Nous avons été accueilli par Alessandra qui a été très provenante.

Google Translation: A nice stay We had a very good stay. Nothing was missing in the apartment. We occupied the 2nd floor through which the accessibility is by a spiral staircase, but an electrical system is installed which allows to assemble the luggage and the races. There is also a very nice shower on the terrace and more, which is very nice. The bedding is very comfortable. We were greeted by Alessandra who was very helpful. _____________________________________ Thank you for your lovely and descriptive review! Please come back... All the best, Maria Sammarco

100 % Satisfied
The description of the apartment fits well with reality. We had a really good times shutdown in Casteldaccia. All the equipment in the kitchen was very good,and it is importent for us do we like to cook. We have rented at Sicily in many different places in the last few years but never such a thoughtful apartment. Bedding, towels everything was perfect. The reception of which Alessandra gave us can only be said wonderful. A person at your service whenever you wish. We rented November and December 2018 and will be back in mid January 2019 so you understand we were very pleased. Casteldaccia is the perfect place to go out to see Sicily. If you travel to Palermo it is 20 min. with train, so why use the car.

Hi Lars and Carina, I had no other option than feature your review and place it on top of the reviews on my Home Away listing! Such fabulous guests, even in the middle of an unexpected emergency construction work on the deck, you showed a positive attitude and full understanding... We'll wait for you back in January. All our best wishes, Maria and Riccardo Sammarco

Tolle Wohnung mit wunderbarer Terrasse
Sehr schön eingerichtet, gemütlich und mit viel Platz (wir waren zu zweit dort) und auch im November kann man hier in der Sonne frühstücken! Besonders erwähnenswert: Die Wohnung ist sehr gut durchdacht, alle Details stimmen, sodass es einem an Nichts fehlt! Die Lage in Casteldaccia ist außerdem sehr zentral, sodass man schnell an alle möglichen Läden kommt.

Dear Noelle, Your review opens my hearth… Thank you for having chosen us for your stay and for the words you wrote in the review, of which I did a Google-translate below. Wishing you all the best, Maria Sammarco Google translation: Great apartment with wonderful terrace Very nicely furnished, comfortable and with a lot of space (we were there for two) and also in November you can have breakfast here in the sun! Particularly noteworthy: The apartment is very well thought out, all the details are correct, so that you want for nothing! The location in Casteldaccia is also very central, so you quickly get to all kinds of shops.

Very nice apartment with difficult aces and crowdy street.
This apartmnet is very nice but with two important difficulties. The stairs to the apartment are used as an emergency exit usually, Elder people and people with some walking problems could feel very un-comfortable. The main street in front of the apartment is very crowdy to the late night s any car moving in Casteldaccia is passing this street including emergency cars..

Dear Vit V, Thank you for your review and for expressing your personal opinion. For the last 15 years, in the Property Description of my advertisements, I have carefully included details to avoid the possibility of unclear info. As consequence, I expect our guests to read the description carefully before proceeding with a booking. If guests have any question or concerns, it is important that they communicate those to us. Your concern about possible future “elder people and people with some walking problems could feel very un-comfortable” may not be realistic. By our 15 years long experience, older guests, guests with disability or guests on wheelchair (yes, we had a lovely gentleman on wheelchair) have always shared with us their special requests/needs before proceeding with a booking. As specified on both advertisements, #9100 and #8398, our five bedrooms of the Garden Suite are placed on two floors. To guests with special needs we offer ground floor bedroom/washroom accommodation. On the advertisement we state that the Terrace Suite has independent exterior access overlooking the subtropical garden. It is interesting how our proudly hand crafted wrought iron exterior stair could be perceived by you as emergency exit! This is masonry, not wood framing construction requiring fire exits! On the advertisement we state that the house is located in the centre of the town, so some noise level may be expected at times. Your statement “any car moving in Casteldaccia is passing this street including emergency cars…” is incorrect. The main access road to Casteldaccia is via Orazio Costantino/Pietro Nenni (SP 61), not via Lungarini. Last, but not least, our local manger, as you know, is on call, 7 days, 24/24 hours, had you chosen to express your comments and wished to be accommodated in the available Garden Suite bedrooms facing the private and quiet garden. My best wishes of peace and love, Maria Sammarco

sehr schöne Wohnung
Die Wohnung ist für die Quadratmeterangabe sehr gut geschnitten. Die Dachterasse lädt zum Verweilen ein. Auch der Seilzugaufzug ist sehr gut um die Einkäufe bequem in den zweiten Stock zu bringen. Alles in Allem eine sehr schöne Wohnung.

GOOGLE TRANSLATION: very nice apartment The apartment is very well cut for the square meter. The roof terrace invites you to linger. Also the cable lift is very good to bring the shopping comfortably to the second floor. All in all a very nice apartment.
