Leon
Ein sehr schönes und großes Grundstück, auf dem man ungestört entspannen kann. Ein riesiger Pool, viele Sitzmöglichkeiten, Platz zum Grillen etc. Es hat wirklich sehr viel Spaß dort gemacht. Ebenfalls kann man bei kleinen Problemen einfach das Team der Unterkunft informieren und noch am selben Tag wird sich darum gekümmert. 5/5 Sterne garantiert.

We had a fantastic three-week stay at Cottage Aquamarine. The villa was cozy and set in a beautiful, vibrant setting. The beach was easy to reach, and the food was excellent. It was exactly the kind of family holiday we were hoping for, with a warm welcome from the host.

The villa was peaceful and beautifully designed, with landscaped gardens, a heated pool, and jasmine-scented dining spots. Anthony and the housekeeper gave us a warm welcome with fresh treats, and he was always helpful. The house was full of character and very well-equipped. Close to Ortigia, it was the perfect base to explore the area—and we truly didn’t want to leave.

Lovely apartment for a stay in the Catania area. Spacious and tastefully decorated, with a stylish touch. The garden and patio seating are charming, and there's morning sunshine even in December. The host was very friendly and kind. Parking is available on-site with a secure gate. I would definitely book this apartment again.
