Get the best of both worlds in Linguaglossa

We visited Linguaglossa to see the town where my grandmother's family came from (early 1900s), so being able to stay near the main square in a historic house was our primary reason for choosing this rental. Sergio and Giuseppina have created a very comfortable place to stay while still preserving a lot of the old charm. The house is very close to the busy main street (convenient to shops and restaurants), but the neighborhood was very quiet and we were always able to park just steps from the front door. Our group included my parents (in their mid-70s) and they were also quite pleased with the accommodations. The owners met us there at check-in, gave a lot of useful advice for the house and the town and were easily contacted via the VRBO app both before and during our stay.

Antique charme

This charming antique mansion is located in the historical heart of Linguaglossa, right between the fascinating slopes of Mount Etna and the sea. Despite the hot summer days, we were able to keep the house nicely cool. The adjoining terrace was a great added value in the evening, as well as the quiet garden with its own source of potable water. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly owners who immediately gave us knowledgeable advice on possible excursions in the area. The volcano and the region have few secrets for them and we gratefully took advantage of the tip to go to the beach of Marina di Cottone, where a stream of fresh water flows from the bottom into the sea. Good for the kids to play in and to wash off the salty seawater. Despite the age of the house, it is equipped with basic comforts. The kitchen could have offered a little more comfort such as a dishwasher or a bigger cooking stove. Anyway highly recommended!

Sicilian authenticity

While the apartment was very nice, clean, we found the location to be difficult to drive to on narrow and winding rural roads. We felt the town itself to us was overpoweringly confining. We left after one day. The hosts were extremely cordial and accommodating but this just wasn’t our cup of tea. For someone else though it may prove the perfect stay.

A window into a wonderful Mt. Etna town history and life

This is a very accommodation - the ancestral home of the host family. They are gradually restoring it, so it is a little bit of work in progress, but absolutely we recommend it. Sergio and his wife met us to welcome us and show us all the details of the sprawling property, from the romantic garden, the spring (?) water that was so good to drink, the rooftop perch, etc. Linguaglossa is one of the towns/villages on Mt. Etna and part of the "wine road". The world of Mt. Etna vineyards and wineries is very dynamic - we could feel the energy and excitement. We could go hiking on the various parts of the mountain, depending on the weather. And the little restaurants and food/wine scene were wonderful! Sergio and his wife were enthusiastic cultural ambassadors and introduced us to the restaurants catering more to the local residents. Thank you for a wonderful home base!! It is not a modernized hotel experience, but if you love history and local connections, we would recommend it.

Beautiful and very welcoming stay in a perfect location

First of all the location and the house are incredible. The owners Giuseppina and Sergio are renovating this typical Sicilian house with lot of love and sensibility. The interior is really amazing and so much better then a commun hotel or B&B because you get a real idea of the Sicilian culture. Also the exteriors are very night to spend the evening with a glass of whine and the food you can by just next door in a small local shop. The location is perfect to explore Etna, Taormina, the beaches etc. Restaurant are very close. Within 20min you get to every nice spot in the area. Also Giuseppina and Sergio received us despite the late our and gave us precious advices where to go and what to see. Hopefully, hopefully we will come back. We very warmly recommend this beautiful place. Es it’s so toll, wir können es nur allerwärmstens emperlent. Amelie and Johan + kids

Fascino etneo

La casa di Sergio e Giuseppina si trova nel centro storico di Linguaglossa, a due passi dalla Piazza Matrice. La suddivisione degli spazi è quella tipica di una costruzione di metà Ottocento, la cui identità i proprietari hanno cercato di preservare il più possibile. Le camere da letto sono ampie, in particolare la doppia. La cucina è essenziale ma dotata di tutto il necessario. Nonostante il frigo molto piccolo, la strettissima vicinanza di negozi di ogni genere consente di gestire la spesa quotidiana senza alcuna difficoltà. Il bagno è spazioso e funzionale. Dalla cucina si accede al terrazzino interno, dove è possibile godere del fresco proveniente dal giardino sottostante. Il contesto, benché centralissimo, rimane riservato e tranquillo. Linguaglossa, luogo ideale per trascorrere una vacanza varia e interessante tra mare e montagna nella zona tra Messina e Catania, merita a sua volta di essere esplorata per apprezzare gli affascinanti scorci che si celano tra i vicoli e le chiese del centro storico, reso ancora più gradevole dalla cordialità dei suoi abitanti. Quanto al Covid-19, il senso di responsabilità e disciplina della popolazione locale ci ha consentito di trascorrere le nostre vacanze in assoluta tranquillità, nel pieno rispetto di tutte le misure di prevenzione previste dalla normativa vigente. Il vero valore aggiunto della proprietà, però, risiede nell'ospitalità offerta da Sergio e Giuseppina, che con sincera passione hanno scelto di condividere la loro casa con quanti siano in grado di apprezzarla. Fin dai primi contatti, la disponibilità dei proprietari è stata totale. La descrizione della casa si è rivelata assolutamente fedele alla realtà e, all'arrivo, nel corso di una gradevole chiacchierata, ci è stata mostrata nel dettaglio tutta la proprietà e ci sono stati offerti preziosi consigli riguardo ai luoghi da visitare e alle attività da organizzare durante la vacanza. Sergio e Giuseppina ci hanno fatto trovare in casa tutto l'essenziale , tra cucina e bagno, per poter iniziare comodamente il nostro soggiorno (compresi alcool e disinfettante per le mani), e hanno prontamente accolto le nostre richieste mostrando una costante attenzione alle esigenze dei propri ospiti senza mai risultare invadenti, con l'intento di farci trascorrere una vacanza serena e rigenerante. Esperienza suggestiva e fuori dal comune, vivamente consigliata a chi desideri soggiornare in un'autentica dimora storica lasciandosi avvolgere dal fascino etneo.
