Wir besuchten Villacaterina im Oktober wenn wir nur in Sizilien angekommen waren, hoffnungslos zu kommunizieren und versuchten, unsere Füße! Andreas und seiner Mutter taten alles, um dafür zu sorgen, dass wir uns wie zu Hause fühlen und helfen uns bei der Planung der Ausflüge. Unser Zimmer war sehr komfortabel und sauber mit eigenem Badezimmer und einem Balkon mit Blick auf den Garten. Das Frühstück war gut. Wir sind bemüht, verstanden sie führt zu einigen Missverständnissen und viel gelacht! Es gibt mehrere interessante Spaziergänge und einen botanischen Garten, so dass Sie nicht einfach mal den Ätna Aufenthalt etwas länger!

“Tutto a posto!”

In May 2013, we visited Sicily for the first time, but definitely not for the last time!

In May 2013, we visited Sicily for the first time, but definitely not for the last time! We stayed four days at Villa Caterina, the beautiful home of Signora Caruso and her son Andrea, located in a quiet U-shaped street. Although belonging to Nicolosi, the B&B is located somewhere between Nicolosi and Pedara -- rather at the northern outskirts of both municipalities. Although you might feel like in the middle of nowhere when driving there at first, keep going and follow the signs to the B&B until you reach the property's gate. When ringing the bell, don't be afraid if you are greeted by two dogs at the entrance - they are accompanied by either Signora Caruso or her son and they are peaceful and kind as soon as they recognize you as guests. After welcoming us to the house, the landlady showed us our room on the first floor: When she opened the shutters, we were stunned about the spacious bedroom with its huge bed, its antique but spotless furniture and its large balcony to the garden, and an en-suite bathroom with a window facing the opposite side of the house. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Even though the bed was so high that we could not reach the floor with our feet when sitting on it, it was comfortable. We slept very well, as it was equipped with a good mattress, clean linen and a wollen blanket (at this time of the year, it was still rather cool inside the house, despite the sunshine outside). From the house, you have a great view towards the Etna -- we will miss this view we enjoyed every morning! On our arrival, Signora Caruso asked us which type of breakfast we preferred and we chose the typical Sicilian one, which is sweet: It consisted of a flask of (strong, but good) coffee, a flask of hot milk, bread, butter, honey, and marmelade, seasonal fruits, and various cake varieties and biskuits, many of them home-made. Unfortunately, our Italian language skills are rather limited, but we enjoyed our short conversations with Signora Caruso, who managed to teach us some more words! We will always remember our stay at Villa Caterina. Mille grazie and best wishes to mamma Giusi, Andrea, Sissi, and Vittorio!

Schön willkommen Von Andreas und seiner Mutter. Großes Haus in einer Wohngegend und in einer ruhigen Gegend, nicht weit von der Aetna. 2 schöne, große Hunde sind herzlich Sie aber keine Probleme mit Kindern's. Was ist ein schönes Frühstück draußen unter Dreier! Wir empfehlen, auch wenn es ein wenig zu weit vom Zentrum entfernt. Gracie pro touti!

“Lovely B&B, location a bit far from town”

This B&B was touted by the local tourist office. It is actually located in the next town, but the owner's son came and guided us to it. Since it is out of town, it would be impossible to stay here without a car. That said, the room we were given was lovely, the bed REALLY comfortable, with great… Mehr

This B&B was touted by the local tourist office. It is actually located in the next town, but the owner's son came and guided us to it. Since it is out of town, it would be impossible to stay here without a car. That said, the room we were given was lovely, the bed REALLY comfortable, with great linens; our friends agreed. We were offered both white and red local wines, the shower was decent, and the common area warm and welcoming. The family's pets are charming and friendly, and we enjoyed playing with them, but take a pass if you are allergic to cats or dogs. Wonderful value, Wonderful hostess. I'd come back.
