Enza & Maryam
Enza and Maryam welcome you to the Giardino delle Zagare, a small green heart in the historic center of Riposto. Your accommodation, located in a recently renovated nineteenth-century building, mixes old and new. It consists of a cheerful and comfortable environment equipped with a double bed, a small table with chairs, a clothes stand with shelves and... travel literature in numerous languages! From here you can access a bathroom for the exclusive use of guests, equipped with a shower and enlivened by colorful images from all over the island, and a kitchenette equipped with everything you want (sink, hob and fridge) to organize from if you have romantic dinners on the terrace ... if, then, tired of the intense days that Sicily reserves, exhausted by the emotions that follow one another in the soul of the curious traveler, you opt to give yourself a healthy rest, you can always ask Maryam, a skilled Persian cook, to delight yourself with a typical dish from the Mediterranean or, if you prefer, from the Far East. Guests have the exclusive use of the accommodation, a small table and chairs ready to welcome them on our balcony, as well as deckchairs on the terrace with view of Etna.
If you wish, you can also have the experience of two proven professionals in the tourism sector: ENZA is a regional tourist guide and with groups of various kinds is often around Sicily, of which he knows a thousand and more secrets; MARYAM, Persian, is a true magician in the kitchen, especially when she tries her hand at the flavors of the Far East. But she moves with unparalleled wisdom even in the Sicilian gastronomic universe ... she books her dinner: you won't regret it! For any eventual need you can count on Maryam, her husband Karim (musician) and her daughter Faranak, an engineering graduate, who reside permanently not far from you ... without forgetting Ghandak, a delightful kitten, whose name in Persian means' lump. of sugar'.
The accommodation is located in Riposto, in the historic center, a hundred meters from the seafront, and offers all the basic necessities that a temporary guest can offer at hand: supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, bank, post office. ... The village is nice. Originally mainly of fishermen only, it still hosts a Nautical Institute of ancient tradition. Once the wine produced on Etna was embarked here, today the marina is home to numerous pleasure boats and is a reference point for those wishing to reach Taormina by sea. Our position is strategic - from here you can easily reach the most famous tourist destinations of eastern Sicily: Taormina, the pearl of the Mediterranean; Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe; Catania, the city of lava; Syracuse, the most powerful of the Greek colonies in Sicily; the Alcantara river and its basaltic gorges; Messina, the city of the homonymous Strait; Noto, late Baroque jewel and ... much more!
