Andrea and his wife are very friendly hosts, always willing to help. The location is good, close to the sea, were still able to swim in the sea at the end of Oktober. It is a good starting point to visit Etna and nearby cities. We were satisfied with everything.

Be careful with mosquitoes. We went to the local beach during sunset and they ate us alive! (rookie mistake)

Geographical location is perfect if you want to visit popular places around (Taormina, Siracusa, Catania) and close to the airport. Andrea is the best host I've come across, picking us up from airport and the day after giving us a lift to the rent a car. Always available and helpful. House is clean and it has got everything you need.

We realized that garbage collection is a problem in Sicily. Cassa Azzura itself is very clean and nice, however, the same cannot be said for the area around the village. Since we mostly traveled with a rented car, these scenes could not spoil our excellent impression of Sicily.

Very kind hosts - Maria and Andrea. Everything was shown and explained. We were greeted with a surprise - drinks and sweets. Of course, each of us got a huge canolli. It was very delicious. Cassa Azzura is very comfortable for living - a kitchen with everything you need, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower, sink, washing machine. The air conditioner was very essential in the hot weather. 32 degrees is not our everyday life. Every morning we prepared delicious coffee from the capsules given to us. There would be enough capsules for another week! Andrea had prepared a great collection of wines. We tasted it with pleasure. Fine Sicilian wines for any meal. A 10-minute walk to the sea at a slow pace. The hosts had even prepared sun umbrellas and beach towels for us. We enjoyed using them. We had rented a car and therefore also received a remote control for the gate, as the village area is fenced off. Very convenient and practical. While saying goodbye, we were greeted by another surprise - delicious, freshly baked Sicilian muffins for breakfast. Andrea also kindly took us to the airport.

a good option for a family vacation. The house has a nice garden with a terrace with a small playground for kids. The beach is nearby free of charge and not busy at all. The host couple were super nice and friendly. We have arrived earlier, but we where allowed to check in offering us welcome drinks and famous Sicilian desert cannoli . The property is located further away from the city. You can get easily by bus - 1€ ; having the bus station approx 15 minutes walking distance to/from the property. But the host Andrea was very kind to drop us off at the central station free of charge! unfortunately there are no supermarkets nearby, but Andrea was very kind to give us a lift into town for groceries. At the beach you have just one small terrace/ shop having pizzas. No other restaurants are nearby.

unfortunately and it’s out of control our stay was interrupted by the weather and the ashes from the volcano which limited the activities there. although there is a beach near by the location is still far from the city center. it’s ideal for a runaway though

it was a clean and organised property. the owner was very kind and helpful all the time

Neighbors cat coming to the property. When he is not fed and pampered, he can attack. The broom helps. Access to Catania only by bus or rental car.

Very peaceful, beautiful place. The area of ​​the reserve, which is monitored and surrounded by a wall. Very close to the sandy beach, local pizzeria. For people who value relaxation. Mr. Andrea and his family are wonderful people. He will personally explain everything, take you to the store right after arrival, and any possible shortages (e.g. coffee) are quickly replenished. In case of problems, he responds to all needs. Thanks for everything! :)

The internet is very slow. So if you'll have to work there - it won't be an option for you. You'll have to relax and just enjoy your vacation)

The sea is very close. The owners are very pleasant and helpful. Everybody around is very friendly.

A cozy house near the beach, which is much cleaner than the city beach of Catania. You can park your car in a gated private parking. The center of Catania is about 30 minutes away by car. The owner and his wife are very friendly, always ready to help with advice. The apartment has everything you need for relaxation, cooking. Lovely veranda for dining. You can be entertained by a cute cat that was coming to us and asked for food. We had to buy food for the cat, because she was stray and hungry.

We were surprised by the amount of trash in Catania and around the roads. But the rental home area and surroundings are neat and tidy.

The house was clean and the staff were amazing. Andrea, the home owner, went above and beyond. He gave us tips for restaurants nearby and checked on us over whatsapp if we needed anything the next day. The beach is close and the water is super clear. There was wine for purchase in the house which we greatly appreciated since we landed at Catania late at night. And we loved the reading material about the region and its gastronomy.

Stayed in October 2022

There was not much around like cafe bars etc. but maybe this was because the season was already over

The place is good located, you have the wonderful sea and beach nearby with a walk but it is also connected well to travel around by car. The owner and his wife were super polite and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay.

Apart from the pizzeria there is no food shopping nearby.

Friendly and helpful attitude of the owner. He picked us up at the airport at night and on the last day drove us to the bus station in the centre of Catania. Thank you.

The area was less picturesque than I had imagined.

Not a tourist trap, a place used by indigenous people.

Tile floors cold in spring, would be nice to have some guest slippers, no cereal/soup bowls (we ate our morning cereal from a mug), no grocery store or any other kind of service nearby, but a bit further out you have a big commercial centre, just need to plan that in. WiFi was unstable.

Pretty close to the airport, so convenient especially for late flights. The house is inside a kind of holiday village with direct access to the sea. Beautiful and spacious garden with some playground objects great for kids. The house is well equipped and clean. Comfortable double bed and bunk bed in a separate room. Air conditioning and extra portable heater in the bathroom (we needed it in March). Our host was very welcoming and waited for us even though our flight arrived late in the evening and we took a while to get the rental car too. Check-in and check-out were both flawless for us. We would be happy to come back if we are in Catania again.

The house is very cozy for family and friends too. Even with a little one. Andrea and Maria are awesome host. Helpful and kind. The beach is a few min walk and out of the crowd of the cities. This place made out short trip even better. Highly recommended.
