a beautiful flat
andreas Berlin
Review Submitted: May 15, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We enjoyed our holiday in Sicily . Mascali is a nice little town with shops and the beach is not far away. By car 5 minutes.
The flat has a fantastic big terace,with a view in the beautiful green court. We had some nice Barbeques there in the evenings. Maria, the owner of the house is very friendly and helpful.
Mascali is also a good place to go for trips at the Etna and visiting a lot interesting places like Taormina.
The flat has a big living room, a kitchen with everything you need and two separate bedrooms

Excellent property
Amad Nottingham
Review Submitted: May 1, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Stayed in the apartment with terraces for 2 weeks in April 2011. The photographs & descriptions accurately describe the accommodation. Maria, the proprietor, is a friendly person who even baked us an orange cake for Easter. Located in a residential town, close to all amenities and easy to access most points of interest on the east side of the island by car. This is a great place to stay to experience the real Sicily and not just some tourist town.
We liked the pizza takeout (Pizzeria Le 7 Terre) located by the Bank and the nearby chicken rotiserie (Masseria Del 2000) for great chicken and chips. We also liked the cappuccino in the Di Condorelli Pasticceria. Good food and drink at local prices
We thoroughly recommend the apartment and the town.

Eine tolle Wohnung
Zisi Kleinostheim, Germany
Review Submitted: February 9, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
Wir hatten die Wohnung im ersten Stock und waren dort zwei Wochen im Januar. Eine ganz nette Familie - wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist in der Mitte vom Ort gelegen mit einem ganz tollen Balkon - ideal zum grillen geeignet. Die Räume sind großzügig und bieten für Kinder genügend Platz zum spielen, auch wenn es mal regent (was im Januar immer mal wieder vorkommen kann). Rundum zufrieden!

Urlaub in Sizilien Mitte/Ende November 2010
Soon+Uli Dortmund , Deutschland
Review Submitted: December 12, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2010
Wir ( 60 und 58) waren mit dem Urlaub in diesem Jahr spät dran - haben dennoch ausgezeichnetes Wetter gehabt und konnten viele Ausflüge unternehmen - ua. nach Palermo,Agrigent und Ragusa. Die Insel ist wundervoll und es gibt noch jede Menge zu entdecken. Wie von den Vor-Rezensenten bereits ausgeführt, befindet sich das Apartament Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero in einem sehr gut und liebevoll renovierten Gebäude mit geschmackvoller Einrichtung und wir haben alles vorgefunden, wie in der Annonce beschrieben.
Die Vermieter-Familie ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Trotz unserer fehlenden Italienisch-Kenntnisse gab es keinerlei Kommunikationsprobleme, da die Tochter gut deutsch spricht und die anderen Familienmitglieder - insbesonders die reizende Signora Mondello - perfekt englisch sprechen.Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt und werden mit Sicherheit nochmal kommen.
Nochmals unser herzlichster Dank an die Familie Mondello!

Tökéletes választás/Perfect choose
enkeli Budapest, Hungary
Review Submitted: August 14, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
2010 júliusában két hétig laktunk az emeleti apartmanban. Heten voltunk (négy feln?tt, három gyerek, 5, 9, 11 évesek), így is kényelmesen elfértünk. Egyedül az egy fürd?szoba jelentett id?nként kisebb gondot, de a földszinti apartmanban abból is kett? van. A ház és az apartman maga szépen, igényesen felújított, tiszta, teljesen felszerelt (klíma, mikró, mosógép, minden szobában tv stb.). Az els? emelet különlegessége a nagy terasz, ahol a BBQ is elfér és a nagy asztal körül kényelmesen el lehet tölteni a meleg estéket. Még jobb is, mint a lenti, ahol ugyan az igényesen kialakított, szépen gondozott, kellemes, árnyas kertben lehet üldögélni, de a fentiek ott mászkálnak keresztül ha elmennek vagy megjönnek. Ráadásul ott parkolnak az autók is, ha elég kicsik ahhoz, hogy beférjenek a kapun. Mi egy C4 Grand Picassóval csak a ki-és bepakoláshoz álltunk be, de behajtott tükörrel is csak néhány centi maradt mindkét oldalon. Az utcán álltunk, de teljesen biztonságos volt.
A házigazdák tüneményesek, nagyon kedvesek, mindenben segítenek. Megérkezéskor gyümölccsel, helyi mandulás aprósüteménnyel, beh?tött borral és vízzel vártak, de a két hét alatt többször hoztak valami apróságot, egy tál narancsot, citromot stb.
Összességében nagyon kellemes és emlékezetes két hetet töltöttünk ott, amiben nagy szerepe volt annak, hogy ennyire jó volt a szállás.

This apatrtman was a perfect choose for our group (4 adults, 3 children 5, 9, 11 years old). It was spacious, clean, well-equipped (air condition, washing machine, microwave oven, BBQ etc.). Everything was that way how it has writen in house's site.
The hosts are very nice, friendly and helpful. We could recommend for everbody.

Wonderfull basis for relaxing and visiting Sicilly
Winnie Copenhagen, Denmark
Review Submitted: July 31, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2009
I sincerely recommend Mascali to travelers who need a calm and comfortable non touristic basis for visiting eastern Sicily. Within an hour’s drive you have Etna, Taomina, Catania e.t.c., beach is only 2km away.

Why we would recommend the apartment

Kirstine(9) the terrace and the hostess Maria (whom she adored.)
Gustav(13) the terrace, beautiful tiles on the floor and the Jacuzzi.
Poul(46) the bedroom with air-condition.
Winnie(43) the house is build in 1920 and the apartment has the charm and spaciousness from that time (4m to ceiling), the terrace was sunny in the morning and cool shadowy in the afternoon with a view to the church in Mascali and overlooking the garden with palms and stone decorations. We spent many hours here. The Host family helped us a lot, with tourist information, drove us to our car that had broken down in nearby town and was always willing to chat. It made us feel very welcome. The town people were also very friendly. My children appreciated not having to share bed. My only complaint was that it was difficult to get my family out of the apartment and they kept wanting to go back “home” to the cool oasis.

Our sightseeing favorites: Gole Alcantara (Rocky landscape formed by the river- bring bathing suits), Etna (Could still feel the hot air from one active volcano), Taormina Isola Bella (Ideal for beginners snorkeling)

Our Shopping favorite: Fish shop in Fiumefreddo (Riposto fish market 3 times as picturesque and 3 times as expensive), Bread van passing by every morning.

A brilliant week!
tore2 Norway
Review Submitted: June 10, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
A nice, clean and well maintained apartment with plenty of space and a fascinating high ceiling. The lovely terraces are perfect for your breakfast coffee or just a long morning sunbathing. There is a big grocery store some minutes away by foot (the "Eurospar"). We can absolutely recommend this as a base camp for visiting the surrounding areas and beaches. You will need a car to get around, though - Mascali itself does not have that many attractions. With a car, Taormina, Catania, Messina and even Siracusa are easily accessible for a day trip, as is Etna, of course. Maria (the landlady) is very generous and helpful. In short, we had a great time!

A jewel between Taormina and Catania
Retiree from New York New York, NY, USA
Review Submitted: May 11, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
We have just returned from eight nights in early May at Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero and it was a great experience. The property is in Mascala, a rather undistinguished town on the coast between Taormina and Catania, but it is very well placed for visiting (by car) everything on the eastern and southern coasts of Sicily -- and there is so much to see! The apartment itself is quite beautiful. The rooms are large, nicely furnished, and very clean. The terrace/balcony is beautiful and overlooks an inner courtyard with flowering trees. There is place to park a car inside the courtyard. The family owners are delightful and generous and available to provide any necessary assistance. When we arrived there was a bottle of spumante and fruit in the refrigerator waiting for us. The only problem we had was that their router did not broadcast on a frequency which which would allow our laptop to use the wifi. The family offered to allow us to use their laptop whenever needed. Catania proved to be more beautiful and interesting than we had anticipated, and the views of Etna, all along the coast, are magnificent. A great holiday!

Sizilianische Gastfreundschaft
Brigitte und Siegfried München, Germany
Review Submitted: February 27, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
Soeben von unserem Sizilienaufenthalt zurückgekehrt, sind wir voll von Eindrücken und Freude über die Gastfreundschaft von Maria, Agostino und ihrer Familie. Die Beschreibung der Casa Ruggero wird in der Realität noch übertroffen, so herzliche Betreuung und Besorgtheit haben wir noch nicht erlebt. Sabrina, die Tochter des Hauses, spricht deutsch, englisch kann man sich mit allen verständigen, falls etwas in der Wohnung fehlen sollte, wird es sofort nachgereicht; kurz, wir fühlten uns wie bei lieben Verwandten zu Hause.
Ein Aufenthalt hier kann mit dem besten Gewissen empfohlen werden!
Für uns war es der ideale Standort um Taormina, den Etna und die umliegenden Küstenorte zu besichtigen. Sehr gerne werden wir wiederkommen, es gibt noch viel zu entdecken!

A WONDERFUL STAY IN A LOVELY APARTMENT
Philip & Teresa Australia
Review Submitted: February 19, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
We ahve been touring Europe for seven months, staying in self catering accommodation with a weekly change-over. We knew that things were going to be right when we were welcomed by Maria. A bottle of wine, a lemoncello cake and lovely flower in a vase, Maria smiling and welcoming us. The apartment was perfect - just as described - no, much better. Spacious, well equipped, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well located in Mascali. Very secure, and a delight to stay. Our hosts were helpful in every way, with local information and hints. Having stayed in almost 30 different properties in the last seven months, we rate this as one of the three best. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone.

Canadian Review of Conte Ruggero
Eville Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: October 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero, is a splendid structure with a lot of very interesting and fine architectural details that, as we said to the owners, it belongs more in the South of France or, going closer, on the slopes of Taormina. There are many things to say about this house: the beautiful garden, the great terraces, the great view of Mt.Etna from the top of the building, etc. The hosts without any doubt make the whole experience a positive one; a mixture of oriental demeanor (Maria is from the Philippines, with their known graciousness and hospitality) and the Mediterranean flair of her husband, Agostino, is proper and serious but warm at heart. To top it off, their grown up children, Sabrina a very bubbly and giggling girl and Marco a guy always ready to help to make your stay as good as possible, every time done with honesty, a smile, good will and like his father, good heart.
~Regardless that it is not in the South of France nor Taormina, the property is well located for one to easily reach the road to Mt.Etna, Catania, Syracuse, Giardini and Taormina!! Of course prudence is recommended when driving on any road that has to go through a town to get to the main roads or autostrada. The highways in Sicily are superb, really second to none but the ones just mentioned are a different story. Sicilian drivers have their own rules and the one who gets there first, goes first!! But those Sicilians you might find walking on the street beside you, be it in such places as Catania, Syracuse or Mascali, are amongst the most friendly, helpful and good natured people you would ever encounter. It is quite natural for them to go out of their way to help you find yours!!
~The reader of this report might wonder if it is true that everything is so perfect. Nothing in life is; there were a few minor deficiencies, easy to correct and I’m sure Maria, a savvy and very clever woman will take charge and figure it out on her own. Be sure that the whole family
will always be there for you to have a great time with as few problems as possible.
~What you have read was, more or less what we experienced, once you’re there you will have your own ones. Maybe better, maybe worse, but for sure different!
~To our hosts thank you for so many things!! The Arancinis, the peaches, the local wine, the sparkling wines, etc. and for trying to make us feel welcome every day of our stay! For that special connection I will remember this trip forever! Arrivederci e a presto!!

Autumn in Sicily
Etna-bound France
Review Submitted: October 22, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Spacious apartment, newly renovated to high standard, very clean and well-maintained with large balcony. Fast internet connection. Extremely friendly, helpful owner. Good location for exploring Etna, Syracuse, Catania, Taorima, and environs. Note, the apartment is in town, Mascali itself is not pretty and there is quite a bit of traffic. Good place for a family needing good space and a base from which to visit the area.

Our Sicilian experience
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a terrific holiday and climbing Mount Etna was amongst the highlights. Maria and her family could not have been more welcoming and ensured that we felt at home. The accommodation in the villa is spacious, with well appointed facilities. The air conditioning was most welcome as we had very hot weather throughout our stay. The large veranda was an additional bonus and allowed us to dine out in the evening. Mascali is a working town so be prepared for the real Sicily with church bells and early morning traffic. With a bit of investigating the town offers some fine clothes shops and an excellent ice-cream parlour. Mascali is a short car journey to Taormina, with its magnificent Greek amphitheatre and Acireale with its Barogue churches. If you want a bit of local colour you must have a ‘Sicilian Pizza’ in Zafferanna, a pretty town half way up to Etna.
Many thanks to Maria, Agostino and their family for a wonderful holiday!

Great Apartment
Alexanderb Israel
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed for one week in the terraces apartment and it was great, the house is in a very good shape and is very clean and comfortable.
The owner of the place, Maria, together with her family met us with a very warm welcome and helped us in everything.
The house is located in a very good place in town, a few meters from the center and around 2km from the beach. The town itself is located in a very good place, near Catania and Messina, and very close to Etna. The place is very quite and well kept. I would say this is the best place in the town and it's location is very comfortable, the hosts are very nice and warm people, and we had a great time.
We very enjoyed our stay and if we will be in Mascali again, we will stay there again.
Thank you Maria and her family, we're very glad that we stayed in your apartment, and we will recommend it to who will fly to Sicily.
I wish you only the best,
Alex.

July in Sicily
Teds Ringwood, UK
Review Submitted: July 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Have just returned from a relaxing week in this lovely 1st floor apartment. It is well furnished & we were very comfortable (& grateful for the air conditioned bedrooms as the temperatures never dipped below 30 degrees even at night). The apartment has everything a family could need & is only minutes from a selection of wide local beaches, restaurants & supermarkets for provisions. The terrace has sun & shade at all times & has lighting so is still useable at night . It is in a residential district & we were soon greeting the neighbours with friendly nods & waves. You will need a car though & be prepared for the Sicilians driving style - definately from the 'he who dares, wins' variety!
Maria, our hostess was really helpful & kept us supplied with sight seeing information, tips & fresh fruit! There was also a welcome pack of beer & sparkling wine in the fridge - most appreciated.
I felt that the owners here really did put themselves out to ensure we enjoyed our week & would certainly come here again if we were returning to Sicily.
Recommended for:  Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: I have taken into consideration that most of our guests come from temperate countries. The air-conditioning units in the bedrooms and the shades out in the terraces are the latest improvements for their comfort. However, since this building dates way back to the 1930s the thick walls are already excellent insulators against exterior temperature.Consequently,even just keeping a door or a window open would gently ventilate the environment. At the same time the doors and windows have all been renovated with double glass. By the way, the air –con units are two-way, ideal also as heaters.

Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We very much enjoyed our stay in Casa Vacanza. The house is in a very good shape, clean and roomy. It is located in the small non-touristic town Mascali. It is an ideal place for sightseeing (Taormina, Catania, Ethna) and swimming as the next beach is just 2 km away. Maria, the landlord, was very nice and helpful. And if you get a chance, check out the panorama view on top of the roof where you can see the Ethna, Taormina and the sea!

Vacation at Casavacanza Conte Ruggero
Ellen - Traveller Richmond, VA USA
Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Charlie and I had a wonderful experience at Casavacanza Conte Ruggero. The apartment is newly renovated, filled with light, clean, well decorated, good kitchen with a large inviting terrace. The description regarding the location and facilities was accurate. There is a grocery store near-by which made it possible for us to prepare our meals in the very adequate kitchen. The owners bent over backwards to make us comfortable. The location in Mascali made it possible for us to walk about the town and visit the duomo.

We enjoyed eating all our meals on the terrace. There seemed to always be some kind of activity to be viewed from the terrace. We heard and saw the traveling market, the marching band, the church bells calling us to worship and the first communion children processing down the street to the duomo. We watched a family moving from their apartment and enjoyed waving good morning to the man across the street.

We had a perfect day in Taormina, visiting the town itself and walking all through and around the Roman Theatre. We also had a good day in Noto, a lovely town. We had packed a picnic lunch that day and ate in the public park. We also spend the day at the Syrcusa ruins. We had a time trying to get tickets. The people there were not very helpful. I advise before one goes there to look up on the internet where to buy the tickets. The ticket booth is not at the site itself but across the street past many, many shops.

We had a wonderful time in Mascali. Maria and Agustino were perfect hosts. I would advise anyone to stay there at their clean and well cared for home.

Owner's Response: It is always a joy for me to see how I have pleased my guests at my holiday home, Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero located in this friendly town of Mascali, Catania.Regarding the trying time one may go through as looking for the ticket booth to see the Siracusa ruins could happen due to the language barrier.Yes, I would advise checking on Internet beforehand.I will be more than happy to help my guests to be informed regarding tickets,sightseeing, or whatever they wish to do through my PC. This will certainly save them a lot of trouble and of course, their precious time.This way my guests will be assured of a happy Sicilian vacation.Thanks once more for choosing my holiday home.Best regards,Maria

Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed during the hot summer of 2008. The owners of apartment could not be more helpful or friendly, they were wonderful. The accommodation is large and clean with lovely original features. Mascali is a working town but only a few km from an extensive beach much loved by the locals. After negotiating the interesting driving habits of the Sicilians the apartment does make a good base for seeing the east of the Island. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the apartment to young families our want a taste of the 'real' Sicily rather than the tourist complexes. We shall never forget our first view of Mr Etna from the rooftop of the building.

Owner's Response: Sicily can boast of its pleasant weather all year round. However, during the peak season, August, it can get rather warm, but anytime would still be a good time to come and visit the island.Yes, our apartment is situated in a friendly town which gives our guests an opportunity to get familiar with the Sicilians and their way of life. It pleases us immensely when our guests plan on a return trip to our apartments. Now,I would like to take this chance to thank our dear guests for choosing us, Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero in Mascali, Catania.

Review Submitted: September 9, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We went to stay in this house in august and we are planning again to go in winter. I would recommended it very much because it is clean, nice, and has all the facilities like home. We were 7 adults and 1 child and we stayed very comfortable. I would recommended this house for everyone. When you book a holiday, the major part of the holiday is were you are going to stay, this is excellent. and of course, the owners are very nice and helpful.
Thanks a lot,

Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero in Mascali
dmiamo Aachen, Germany
Review Submitted: September 26, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Das Apartament Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero befindet sich in einem sehr gut und liebevoll renovierten Gebäude. Die Lage ist sehr günstig, sowohl für den Strandurlaub, als auch für diejenigen, die die Sehenswürdigkeiten Siziliens erkunden wollen. Die Vermieterin ist sehr lieb und hilfsbereit. Da sie perfekt English spricht, gab es keine Probleme mit der Kommunikation. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt. Ein Auto ist bei dem Aufenthalt in Mascali wünschenswert.

Wir, ein älteres Ehepaar, haben die obere Wohnung für knapp zwei Wochen bewohnt. Sie ist großzügig bemessen und sehr gut eingerichtet. Der Zustand der Wohnung war einwandfrei, sauber und gepflegt. Eine große Terrasse lud zum gemütlichen Verweilen ein. Die Gastgeber sind ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für unsere Bedürfnisse (Besichtigung der Sehenswürdigkeiten Siziliens) war das Domizil ideal.
Wir würden die Wohnung auch besten Freunden empfehlen.

Schöne Ferienwohnunh im Ätnagebiet
j. Germany
Review Submitted: March 25, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
Die Wohnung ist großzügig geschnitten und entspricht den Bildern. Der umlaufende Balkon ist riesig und lädt zum Frühstück und zum Entspannen nach den Inseltouren am Abend ein. Maria und ihre Familie sorgen gut für die Gäste, man fühlt sich bestens aufgenommen. Alles ist sauber und die Ausstattung ist vollständig. Das Auto kann sicher im Innenhof geparkt werden. Der WLAN-Anschluss funktioniert, wenn er bisweilen auch etwas langsam ist. Es gibt zwei Flachbildfernseher, die italienisches Programm anbieten. Für Ausflüge mit dem Mietwagen rund um den Ätna, auf den Ätna, nach Taormina, Syrakus, Catania, Enna, Messina und Lipari ist die Wohnung ideal gelegen. Nach Palermo und Agrigent muss man morgens früh aufstehen und lange Touren einplanen. Insgesamt eine prima Wohnung, die eine gute Basis für den Urlaub bietet.

Eine ideale Ferienwohnung!
Geologist Hamburg
Review Submitted: October 17, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
Für unsere Herbstferien hatte wir (Familie mit zwei Kindern, 13 und 11) Mascali ausgesucht, weil von hier aus der gesamte Raum Ostsizilien in Tagesausflügen erschlossen werden kann, auch ein Tagesausflug auf die Äolischen Inseln war problemlos möglich. Um flexibel zu sein, empfiehlt sich ein Leihwagen. Die Wohnung ist 52 km vom Flughafen in Catania entfernt (Fahrtzeit über die Autobahn rd. 45 min.). Der nahe gelegene feinkiesige Strand in Fondachello (in 5 min. mit dem Auto zu erreichen) war Mitte Oktober gähnend leer, wird aber zur Saison gunt frequentiert sein.
Die im Internet ausführlich beschriebene Ferienwohnung ist im 1. Stock eines gepflegten Gebäudes, das zentral im Ort Mascali liegt.
Beschreibung und vorgefundene Ausstattung waren absolut identisch. Die Wohnung ist großzügig, sehr sauber, gut und praktisch eingerichtet und mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Wer sein Notebook mit dem Internet nutzen möchte, kann dies problemlos per W-LAN tun (im Mietpreis inbegriffen). Die große Terrasse mit ausreichend Mobiliar und zwei Liegen ist wie ein weiterer großer „Raum“ zu nutzen. Der Holzkohlegrill darf selbstverständlich genutzt werden.
Garten (mit hohem, alten Baumbestand) und Innenhof sind gepflegt und bieten auch Platz für das Abstellen des Leihwagens.
Diverse Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind innerhalb von 5 min. zu Fuß zu erreichen, wobei hinzugefügt werden muss, dass die meisten Lebensmittel in Mascali zum Teil deutlich günstiger sind als in Deutschland.
Man spürt in der kleinen Stadt das pulsierende Leben bis in die Nacht hinein – das könnte evtl. diejenigen stören, die lärmempfindlich sind, aber so ist das Leben in den Ortschaften Süditaliens generell.
Die Gastgeberfamilie ist ausgesprochen nett und hilfreich, jeder Wunsch wird erfüllt – wenn dies nur irgendwie möglich ist. Wiederholt wurden wir auch mit heimischen Produkten beschenkt (Rotwein, roten Trauben, Kaktusfeigen)
Wir wünschen unseren Gastgebern auch für die Zukunft alles Gute und weiterhin viele Gäste.

Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero

Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero
Ute und Peter, Norddeutschland
Reisezeitraum: Juli 2010

Mascali als Ort hatten wir uns wegen der Nähe zum Flughafen Catania ausgesucht und da wir zu einer Familienfeier nach Calabrien eingeladen waren, war die geringe Entfernung zum Fährhafen nach Messina optimal.
Die im Internet ausgesuchte Ferienwohnung hielt allen gemachten Versprechungen stand. Sie liegt zentral im Ort Mascali und man konnte bequem die in der Nähe liegenden Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nutzen. Die Wohnung ist großzügig, sehr sauber und mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet (besonders wichtig in unserem Reisemonat Juli!).
Vor allem haben wir in der Zeit den Garten geschätzt, der bei den hohen Temperaturen von früh bis spät zu unserem Wohnzimmer wurde. Außerdem hatten wir dadurch auf dem Innenhof immer einen abgeschlossenen Parkplatz für unseren Leihwagen.
Die Nähe zu Taormina, zum Ätna und zum Flughafen Catania (viele Direktflüge aus Deutschland) war sehr angenehm.
Besonders begeistert waren wir aber von unserer Vermieterin Maria. Sie war so freundlich und hilfsbereit!!! Dies hat sehr zu unserem Wohlbefinden beigetragen!
Wir wünschen ihr und ihrer Familie alles Gute und weiterhin viele internationale Gäste.

Sizilien im Mai 2010
Maria und Carsten Münster, Deutschland
Review Submitted: July 18, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
Die Wohnung befindet sich in der ersten Etage eines Wohnhauses.
Das Haus und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt und machten auf uns sofort einen guten Eindruck. Dieser setzte sich in der Wohnung fort. Sie ist sehr ordentlich, sauber, hell und großzügig geschnitten. Sie ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Zur Wohnung gehört ein großer Balkon, welcher mit Liegestühlen und Gartenmöbeln ausgestattet ist.
Von Maria und ihrer Tochter wurden wir bei der Ankunft sehr herzlich empfangen. Sie versorgten uns direkt mit Informationen zum Ort und der Umgebung. Als kleines Begrüßungspräsent gab es Orangen und Mandelgebäck sowie eine Flasche Sekt.

Da wir zu Hause in einem sehr ruhigen Wohngebiet leben, empfanden wir den Verkehrslärm (insbesondere morgens) als störend, was jedoch aber daran liegen mag, dass wir sonst keinerlei Verkehrslärm gewohnt sind.

Jedoch können wir die Wohnung ansonsten uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder diese Wohnung bei einem Aufenthalt an der Ostküste Siziliens mieten.

Nochmals unser herzlichster Dank an die Familie Mondello.

Die Unterkunft ist eine wundervolle Stadtvilla in zentraler Lage. Aufgrund der dicken Mauern sind die Räume angenehm kühl. Die Lage eignet sich hervorragend für die Stadtbesichtigungen in Ostsizilien und auch für die Wanderungen am Aetna. Die Besitzerin spricht tadellos englisch und ist sehr herzlich. Der Wagen kann im Innenhof abgestellt aber auch problemlos draussen auf der Straße geparkt werden.

Mascali 2010
Carlo Rotondi
Review Submitted: October 8, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Salve, abbiamo trascorso le vacanze ad agosto, per 10 giorni, nella casa della signora Maria. La casa è molto accogliente, spaziosa, e quando siamo arrivati era appena stata pulita. Dispone di tutti i comfort necessari per un piacevole soggiorno: 2 televisori, aria condizionata nelle stanze da letto, lavatrice, tostapane, microonde, ecc.. La Sicilia in generale è una regione tutta da visitare e le persone sono cordiali ed ospitali. Consiglierei di trascorre una giornata sulla spiaggia di Marina di Cottone, dove il Fiumefreddo (di nome e di fatto) sfocia nel mare. Per quanto riguarda Mascali la consiglierei alle famiglie o a ragazzi con macchina.

Conte regero with garden
henrik Gullholmen, Sweden
Review Submitted: March 14, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
Var på semester i sex veckor på Sicilien och bodde hos familjen Modello, via Conte regero with garden i den lilla staden Mascali. 15 jan - 26 febr 2011. Syftet var att komma ifrån snö och kyla i Sverige och bara koppla av och se vad Sicilien har att erbjuda. Det var mycket god mat och gott vin, fantastiska normandiska borgar och bergsbyar och naturupplevelser. Bostaden var ren och snygg. fyra sovrum med två sängplatser i varje rum, två badrum med dusch och WC och ett stort kök. Lägenheten är belägen i stadsmiljö, "garden" består av p-plats för hyresgästbil samt planterade träd med kakelplattor runt om. Flera gånger under vistelsen kom sonen Marco ner med bärkassar av färska apelsiner och clementiner. Familjen var mycket gästvänlig. Vi kan rekommendera boendet.

Best Vacation Ever

Review Submitted: November 23, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
The place was great. There were 6 adults and four child under the age of 7. The owners were very kind and hopeful. They were just like having another family member present. The rental had everything you would need plus more. The courtyard was great for the children when they wanted to play outside. You have your own private parking and the security was outstanding. The place was spotless and the amenities were so close to you. The beach was beautiful and the weather was great. Thank you so much Maria and Marco. My family will never forget this vacation. The children still talk about "their home in Italy" and want to come back. We'll see see you soon!!!

Die Ferienwohnung (insbes. die Küche ist für italienische Verhältnisse sehr gut) ist gut ausgestattet und sehr geräumig, sauber, die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. In den Sommermonaten ist die Paterrewohnung sicherlich ideal, als wir im Herbst da waren, fanden wir sie etwas dunkel. Das Haus liegt in einem ruhigeren Teil (aber nicht idyllisch ruhig) Mascalis, einer Kleinstadt zwischen Ätna und Meer. Von dort aus sind viele Sehenswürdigkeiten gut und schnell zu erreichen (Syrakus 1,5 Stunden, Ätna 0,5 -1 Std., Taormina 0,5 Std.). Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt.

Review Submitted: June 7, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We were 7 and we fit comfortably. The apartment was very clean, and contains a nice assortment of books which we enjoyed. The proximity of the kitchen, dining, washer made for an efficient use of time, allowing maximum touring. Our host family was very kind and helpful in familiarizing us with the citta as well as local sites of interest. We were in walking distance of small grocery shops, the chiesa, pasticceria and coffee. Not much farther away, fresh rotisseri chicken and fresh seafood!
Delicious. We visited Mt Etna, Taormina,Valley of the Temples and Catania, home of St. Agatha.
This apartment has both heat and air conditioning, a real plus with the variable weather of spring! The local church has a vibrant community and the patron saint is St. Leonardo, patron saint for pregnant women and captives. The parishioners are welcoming and generous. You can learn a lot here.
We had only a slight problem with plumbing backing up, but the family was right there to help.
We arrived very late at night, yet were greeted pleasantly. There were fresh oranges waiting for us and when my husband asked for "wine, please", it was graciously given.
And it was delicious of course!
I do heartily recommend this apartment.
Thank you, Maria!

Guests from Hungary
joegazso Jászapáti, Hungary
Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent a week in this holiday house. We were six adults and two small children. We have an awesome impression about the house and the owner. The booking went smoothly and she treated everything confidentially.

When we arrived there, everything was clean and neat. A friendly welcome surprise was waiting for our arrival in the fridge, which we appreciated very much.

The district is proportionally quiet and the garden is perfect for socialising. Mascali is in a good location in Sicily because it spreads between Catania and Messina. I would recommend the beach of Giardini Naxos, for families who have children, because the waves are not so high and nevertheless, the beach is sandy. Furthermore, If you are there, it is worth to visit the Morgan's Pub on the Via Recanati, at Giardini Naxos. They are simply the Kings of Gastronomy in Sicily.

I would recommend this holiday house to anyone who is considering to visit Sicily. Far better than a hotel. It has all the necessary facilities and comfort, in my opinion.

Best regards,
Jozsef from Hungary, Jászapáti

Ein sehr gepflegtes Haus in optimaler Lage.
Review Submitted: September 28, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Der Ort am Fuße des Ätna gelegen und nicht weit vom Meer. Für Sportliche ist das Meer auch zu Fuß erreichbar (ca. 1,2 Km)
Alle Obst- und Gemüseläden sowie Metzger, Apotheke und sonstige Einrichtungen sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar.
Der nächste Ort, ca. 5 Fahrminuten in Richtung Catania, ist Giarre. Dort findet man sämtliche Bekleidungs- und Schuhgeschäfte. Auch sehr schön um am Abend zu flanieren.
Die Wohnung ist voll ausgestattet und sehr gepflegt. Sie hat eine sehr gute Aufteilung, so dass auch 2 Familien darin wohnen können.
Zusätzlich kann man die große Terrasse für entspannte Grillabende nutzen. Der Garten ist sehr schön angelegt.
Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit das Auto im Innenhof (Zugang/Zufahrt durch ein elektrisches Eisentor) abzustellen, ist aber wegen der ruhigen und sicheren Lage nicht notwendig.
Wir haben unser Auto ohne Bedenken vor dem Haus abgestellt.
Für gute Tipps in jeder Hinsicht ist aber Maria da.
Für uns war es ein sehr schöner und entspannter Urlaub.
Wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich bei Maria und Sabrina. Sie waren sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir werden uns auf jeden Fall wiedersehen.

Conte regero with garden
henrik Gullholmen, Sweden
Review Submitted: March 14, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
Var på semester i sex veckor på Sicilien och bodde hos familjen Modello, via Conte regero with garden i den lilla staden Mascali. 15 jan - 26 febr 2011. Syftet var att komma ifrån snö och kyla i Sverige och bara koppla av och se vad Sicilien har att erbjuda. Det var mycket god mat och gott vin, fantastiska normandiska borgar och bergsbyar och naturupplevelser. Bostaden var ren och snygg. fyra sovrum med två sängplatser i varje rum, två badrum med dusch och WC och ett stort kök. Lägenheten är belägen i stadsmiljö, "garden" består av p-plats för hyresgästbil samt planterade träd med kakelplattor runt om. Flera gånger under vistelsen kom sonen Marco ner med bärkassar av färska apelsiner och clementiner. Familjen var mycket gästvänlig. Vi kan rekommendera boendet.

Best Vacation Ever
Mary & George Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: November 23, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
The place was great. There were 6 adults and four child under the age of 7. The owners were very kind and hopeful. They were just like having another family member present. The rental had everything you would need plus more. The courtyard was great for the children when they wanted to play outside. You have your own private parking and the security was outstanding. The place was spotless and the amenities were so close to you. The beach was beautiful and the weather was great. Thank you so much Maria and Marco. My family will never forget this vacation. The children still talk about "their home in Italy" and want to come back. We'll see see you soon!!!

Großzügige, sehr günstig gelegene Ferienwohnung
Uli Germany
Review Submitted: November 11, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
Die Ferienwohnung (insbes. die Küche ist für italienische Verhältnisse sehr gut) ist gut ausgestattet und sehr geräumig, sauber, die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. In den Sommermonaten ist die Paterrewohnung sicherlich ideal, als wir im Herbst da waren, fanden wir sie etwas dunkel. Das Haus liegt in einem ruhigeren Teil (aber nicht idyllisch ruhig) Mascalis, einer Kleinstadt zwischen Ätna und Meer. Von dort aus sind viele Sehenswürdigkeiten gut und schnell zu erreichen (Syrakus 1,5 Stunden, Ätna 0,5 -1 Std., Taormina 0,5 Std.). Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt.

jmsix Ramstein Germany
Review Submitted: June 7, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We were 7 and we fit comfortably. The apartment was very clean, and contains a nice assortment of books which we enjoyed. The proximity of the kitchen, dining, washer made for an efficient use of time, allowing maximum touring. Our host family was very kind and helpful in familiarizing us with the citta as well as local sites of interest. We were in walking distance of small grocery shops, the chiesa, pasticceria and coffee. Not much farther away, fresh rotisseri chicken and fresh seafood!
Delicious. We visited Mt Etna, Taormina,Valley of the Temples and Catania, home of St. Agatha.
This apartment has both heat and air conditioning, a real plus with the variable weather of spring! The local church has a vibrant community and the patron saint is St. Leonardo, patron saint for pregnant women and captives. The parishioners are welcoming and generous. You can learn a lot here.
We had only a slight problem with plumbing backing up, but the family was right there to help.
We arrived very late at night, yet were greeted pleasantly. There were fresh oranges waiting for us and when my husband asked for "wine, please", it was graciously given.
And it was delicious of course!
I do heartily recommend this apartment.
Thank you, Maria!

Wir waren für 1 Woche in Mascali und sehr zufrieden.Die Familie ist sehr hilfsbereit,Maria,Marco und Sabrina sprechen englisch, so dass es keine Probleme mit der Verständigung gibt.Idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Landschaft im Osten zu erkunden.Sehenswert Ätna,Taormina, Castelmola...
Man sollte nur wissen,dass je zwei Schlafzimmer ohne Trenntür verbunden sind.Ansonsten können wir die Wohnung nur empfehlen.

Guests from Hungary
joegazso Jászapáti, Hungary
Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent a week in this holiday house. We were six adults and two small children. We have an awesome impression about the house and the owner. The booking went smoothly and she treated everything confidentially.

When we arrived there, everything was clean and neat. A friendly welcome surprise was waiting for our arrival in the fridge, which we appreciated very much.

The district is proportionally quiet and the garden is perfect for socialising. Mascali is in a good location in Sicily because it spreads between Catania and Messina. I would recommend the beach of Giardini Naxos, for families who have children, because the waves are not so high and nevertheless, the beach is sandy. Furthermore, If you are there, it is worth to visit the Morgan's Pub on the Via Recanati, at Giardini Naxos. They are simply the Kings of Gastronomy in Sicily.

I would recommend this holiday house to anyone who is considering to visit Sicily. Far better than a hotel. It has all the necessary facilities and comfort, in my opinion.

Best regards,
Jozsef from Hungary, Jászapáti

The property is a very safe place for children where to play. It has a nice garden.I recommend this property for its position .

Ein sehr gepflegtes Haus in optimaler Lage.
Review Submitted: September 28, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Der Ort am Fuße des Ätna gelegen und nicht weit vom Meer. Für Sportliche ist das Meer auch zu Fuß erreichbar (ca. 1,2 Km)
Alle Obst- und Gemüseläden sowie Metzger, Apotheke und sonstige Einrichtungen sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar.
Der nächste Ort, ca. 5 Fahrminuten in Richtung Catania, ist Giarre. Dort findet man sämtliche Bekleidungs- und Schuhgeschäfte. Auch sehr schön um am Abend zu flanieren.
Die Wohnung ist voll ausgestattet und sehr gepflegt. Sie hat eine sehr gute Aufteilung, so dass auch 2 Familien darin wohnen können.
Zusätzlich kann man die große Terrasse für entspannte Grillabende nutzen. Der Garten ist sehr schön angelegt.
Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit das Auto im Innenhof (Zugang/Zufahrt durch ein elektrisches Eisentor) abzustellen, ist aber wegen der ruhigen und sicheren Lage nicht notwendig.
Wir haben unser Auto ohne Bedenken vor dem Haus abgestellt.
Für gute Tipps in jeder Hinsicht ist aber Maria da.
Für uns war es ein sehr schöner und entspannter Urlaub.
Wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich bei Maria und Sabrina. Sie waren sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir werden uns auf jeden Fall wiedersehen.

Casa con jardín

Enriqueta Madrid
Review Submitted: September 18, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Hemos estado en Septiembre en la casa con jardín. Es una casa muy agradable, con un jardín precioso. Todo está muy limpio. El trato de Maria es excelente y además habla español.
La casa está bien situada para ir al Etna, a Taormina, a Catania...
Owner's Response: Tengo grandes deseos de incrementar el número de solicitudes de reservas provenientes de otros países y regiones. Me alegra haber obtenido resultados tan satisfactorios este año gracias a HomeAway Holiday-Rentals y a mis invitados pasados. ¡Agradezco mucho la colaboración de todos.

Excelente relación precio/calidad

peptg L'Espluga de Francolí, Catalunya, España
Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Un trato excelente lleno de atenciones y detalles por parte de la propietaria, Maria Modello, dispuesta en todo momento a prestar ayuda y a facilitar información. Casa comoda con un jardin muy particular. Situación excelente, para visitar la zona de Taormina, Catania, Siracusa i sobre todo el Etna. Esta en Mascali a 15 minutos (en coche) de Piano Provenzana (Linguaglossa)lugar de partida para las excursiones al Etna por la zona norte.
Dispone de dos apartamentos, ambos altamente recomendables.
Owner's Response: Estoy muy satisfecha con todas las solicitudes de reserva recibidas a través de HomeAway Holiday-Rentals. Este es mi segundo año con este sitio web y mis reservas se han triplicado en comparación con el verano pasado. Además, es muy grato el recibir comentarios positivos de mis invitados pasados. ¡Verdaderamente de gran ayuda!

A perfect vacation, A home away from home.
AGB Malta
Review Submitted: September 9, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We went to stay in this house in august and we are planning again to go in winter. I would recommended it very much because it is clean, nice, and has all the facilities like home. We were 7 adults and 1 child and we stayed very comfortable. I would recommended this house for everyone. When you book a holiday, the major part of the holiday is were you are going to stay, this is excellent. and of course, the owners are very nice and helpful.
Thanks a lot,
Alison

Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero in Mascali
dmiamo Aachen, Germany
Review Submitted: September 26, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Das Apartament Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero befindet sich in einem sehr gut und liebevoll renovierten Gebäude. Die Lage ist sehr günstig, sowohl für den Strandurlaub, als auch für diejenigen, die die Sehenswürdigkeiten Siziliens erkunden wollen. Die Vermieterin ist sehr lieb und hilfsbereit. Da sie perfekt English spricht, gab es keine Probleme mit der Kommunikation. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt. Ein Auto ist bei dem Aufenthalt in Mascali wünschenswert.

Frühling an der Ostküste Siziliens
Hans und Lore München
Review Submitted: April 18, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Wir, ein älteres Ehepaar, haben die obere Wohnung für knapp zwei Wochen bewohnt. Sie ist großzügig bemessen und sehr gut eingerichtet. Der Zustand der Wohnung war einwandfrei, sauber und gepflegt. Eine große Terrasse lud zum gemütlichen Verweilen ein. Die Gastgeber sind ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für unsere Bedürfnisse (Besichtigung der Sehenswürdigkeiten Siziliens) war das Domizil ideal.
Wir würden die Wohnung auch besten Freunden empfehlen.

Schöne Ferienwohnunh im Ätnagebiet
j. Germany
Review Submitted: March 25, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
Die Wohnung ist großzügig geschnitten und entspricht den Bildern. Der umlaufende Balkon ist riesig und lädt zum Frühstück und zum Entspannen nach den Inseltouren am Abend ein. Maria und ihre Familie sorgen gut für die Gäste, man fühlt sich bestens aufgenommen. Alles ist sauber und die Ausstattung ist vollständig. Das Auto kann sicher im Innenhof geparkt werden. Der WLAN-Anschluss funktioniert, wenn er bisweilen auch etwas langsam ist. Es gibt zwei Flachbildfernseher, die italienisches Programm anbieten. Für Ausflüge mit dem Mietwagen rund um den Ätna, auf den Ätna, nach Taormina, Syrakus, Catania, Enna, Messina und Lipari ist die Wohnung ideal gelegen. Nach Palermo und Agrigent muss man morgens früh aufstehen und lange Touren einplanen. Insgesamt eine prima Wohnung, die eine gute Basis für den Urlaub bietet.

Eine ideale Ferienwohnung!
Geologist Hamburg
Review Submitted: October 17, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
Für unsere Herbstferien hatte wir (Familie mit zwei Kindern, 13 und 11) Mascali ausgesucht, weil von hier aus der gesamte Raum Ostsizilien in Tagesausflügen erschlossen werden kann, auch ein Tagesausflug auf die Äolischen Inseln war problemlos möglich. Um flexibel zu sein, empfiehlt sich ein Leihwagen. Die Wohnung ist 52 km vom Flughafen in Catania entfernt (Fahrtzeit über die Autobahn rd. 45 min.). Der nahe gelegene feinkiesige Strand in Fondachello (in 5 min. mit dem Auto zu erreichen) war Mitte Oktober gähnend leer, wird aber zur Saison gunt frequentiert sein.
Die im Internet ausführlich beschriebene Ferienwohnung ist im 1. Stock eines gepflegten Gebäudes, das zentral im Ort Mascali liegt.
Beschreibung und vorgefundene Ausstattung waren absolut identisch. Die Wohnung ist großzügig, sehr sauber, gut und praktisch eingerichtet und mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Wer sein Notebook mit dem Internet nutzen möchte, kann dies problemlos per W-LAN tun (im Mietpreis inbegriffen). Die große Terrasse mit ausreichend Mobiliar und zwei Liegen ist wie ein weiterer großer „Raum“ zu nutzen. Der Holzkohlegrill darf selbstverständlich genutzt werden.
Garten (mit hohem, alten Baumbestand) und Innenhof sind gepflegt und bieten auch Platz für das Abstellen des Leihwagens.
Diverse Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind innerhalb von 5 min. zu Fuß zu erreichen, wobei hinzugefügt werden muss, dass die meisten Lebensmittel in Mascali zum Teil deutlich günstiger sind als in Deutschland.
Man spürt in der kleinen Stadt das pulsierende Leben bis in die Nacht hinein – das könnte evtl. diejenigen stören, die lärmempfindlich sind, aber so ist das Leben in den Ortschaften Süditaliens generell.
Die Gastgeberfamilie ist ausgesprochen nett und hilfreich, jeder Wunsch wird erfüllt – wenn dies nur irgendwie möglich ist. Wiederholt wurden wir auch mit heimischen Produkten beschenkt (Rotwein, roten Trauben, Kaktusfeigen)
Wir wünschen unseren Gastgebern auch für die Zukunft alles Gute und weiterhin viele Gäste.

Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero
Ute & Peter Oldenburg
Review Submitted: September 8, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero
Ute und Peter, Norddeutschland
Reisezeitraum: Juli 2010

Mascali als Ort hatten wir uns wegen der Nähe zum Flughafen Catania ausgesucht und da wir zu einer Familienfeier nach Calabrien eingeladen waren, war die geringe Entfernung zum Fährhafen nach Messina optimal.
Die im Internet ausgesuchte Ferienwohnung hielt allen gemachten Versprechungen stand. Sie liegt zentral im Ort Mascali und man konnte bequem die in der Nähe liegenden Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nutzen. Die Wohnung ist großzügig, sehr sauber und mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet (besonders wichtig in unserem Reisemonat Juli!).
Vor allem haben wir in der Zeit den Garten geschätzt, der bei den hohen Temperaturen von früh bis spät zu unserem Wohnzimmer wurde. Außerdem hatten wir dadurch auf dem Innenhof immer einen abgeschlossenen Parkplatz für unseren Leihwagen.
Die Nähe zu Taormina, zum Ätna und zum Flughafen Catania (viele Direktflüge aus Deutschland) war sehr angenehm.
Besonders begeistert waren wir aber von unserer Vermieterin Maria. Sie war so freundlich und hilfsbereit!!! Dies hat sehr zu unserem Wohlbefinden beigetragen!
Wir wünschen ihr und ihrer Familie alles Gute und weiterhin viele internationale Gäste.

Sizilien im Mai 2010
Maria und Carsten Münster, Deutschland
Review Submitted: July 18, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
Die Wohnung befindet sich in der ersten Etage eines Wohnhauses.
Das Haus und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt und machten auf uns sofort einen guten Eindruck. Dieser setzte sich in der Wohnung fort. Sie ist sehr ordentlich, sauber, hell und großzügig geschnitten. Sie ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Zur Wohnung gehört ein großer Balkon, welcher mit Liegestühlen und Gartenmöbeln ausgestattet ist.
Von Maria und ihrer Tochter wurden wir bei der Ankunft sehr herzlich empfangen. Sie versorgten uns direkt mit Informationen zum Ort und der Umgebung. Als kleines Begrüßungspräsent gab es Orangen und Mandelgebäck sowie eine Flasche Sekt.

Da wir zu Hause in einem sehr ruhigen Wohngebiet leben, empfanden wir den Verkehrslärm (insbesondere morgens) als störend, was jedoch aber daran liegen mag, dass wir sonst keinerlei Verkehrslärm gewohnt sind.

Jedoch können wir die Wohnung ansonsten uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder diese Wohnung bei einem Aufenthalt an der Ostküste Siziliens mieten.

Nochmals unser herzlichster Dank an die Familie Mondello.

Schöne Stadtwohnung
Mona Berlin
Review Submitted: July 15, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2010
Die Unterkunft ist eine wundervolle Stadtvilla in zentraler Lage. Aufgrund der dicken Mauern sind die Räume angenehm kühl. Die Lage eignet sich hervorragend für die Stadtbesichtigungen in Ostsizilien und auch für die Wanderungen am Aetna. Die Besitzerin spricht tadellos englisch und ist sehr herzlich. Der Wagen kann im Innenhof abgestellt aber auch problemlos draussen auf der Straße geparkt werden.

Mascali 2010
Carlo Rotondi
Review Submitted: October 8, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Salve, abbiamo trascorso le vacanze ad agosto, per 10 giorni, nella casa della signora Maria. La casa è molto accogliente, spaziosa, e quando siamo arrivati era appena stata pulita. Dispone di tutti i comfort necessari per un piacevole soggiorno: 2 televisori, aria condizionata nelle stanze da letto, lavatrice, tostapane, microonde, ecc.. La Sicilia in generale è una regione tutta da visitare e le persone sono cordiali ed ospitali. Consiglierei di trascorre una giornata sulla spiaggia di Marina di Cottone, dove il Fiumefreddo (di nome e di fatto) sfocia nel mare. Per quanto riguarda Mascali la consiglierei alle famiglie o a ragazzi con macchina.

Vacanza in Sicilia 2010
Stefano M. Rotondi
Review Submitted: September 13, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
La cittadina di Mascali e' collegata abbastanza bene con le varie citta' e attrazioni presenti sul territorio.E' possibile raggiungere localita' quali Taormina,Giardini Naxos, Catania, Gole dell'Alcantara in pochi minuti grazie alla comoda autostrada Messina-Catania.
La descrizione presente nell'inserzione e' accurata.L'immobile si presenta in ottimo stato e con servizi comodissimi.L'ambiente e' pulito e abbastanza spazioso.
Presente anche una vasca idromassaggio, una lavatrice, l'aria condizionata nelle due stanze, un barbecue sull'ampio terrazzo e un comodissimo posto auto.
La proprietaria di casa, la signora Maria, e' stata gentilissima e sempre disponibile per eventuali problemi.
L'immobile e' un po penalizzato dal punto di vista <distanza dal mare> in quanto la spiaggia piu' vicina e' quella di Fondachello che si trova a 2 km di distanza.
E' altamente consigliato l'uso dell'automobile per i vari spostamenti.
Nel complesso siamo stati benissimo e consiglio vivamente codesta casa- vacanze per apprezzare al meglio cio' che offre la Sicilia.

Conte regero with garden
henrik Gullholmen, Sweden
Review Submitted: March 14, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
Var på semester i sex veckor på Sicilien och bodde hos familjen Modello, via Conte regero with garden i den lilla staden Mascali. 15 jan - 26 febr 2011. Syftet var att komma ifrån snö och kyla i Sverige och bara koppla av och se vad Sicilien har att erbjuda. Det var mycket god mat och gott vin, fantastiska normandiska borgar och bergsbyar och naturupplevelser. Bostaden var ren och snygg. fyra sovrum med två sängplatser i varje rum, två badrum med dusch och WC och ett stort kök. Lägenheten är belägen i stadsmiljö, "garden" består av p-plats för hyresgästbil samt planterade träd med kakelplattor runt om. Flera gånger under vistelsen kom sonen Marco ner med bärkassar av färska apelsiner och clementiner. Familjen var mycket gästvänlig. Vi kan rekommendera boendet.

Best Vacation Ever
Mary & George Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: November 23, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
The place was great. There were 6 adults and four child under the age of 7. The owners were very kind and hopeful. They were just like having another family member present. The rental had everything you would need plus more. The courtyard was great for the children when they wanted to play outside. You have your own private parking and the security was outstanding. The place was spotless and the amenities were so close to you. The beach was beautiful and the weather was great. Thank you so much Maria and Marco. My family will never forget this vacation. The children still talk about "their home in Italy" and want to come back. We'll see see you soon!!!

Großzügige, sehr günstig gelegene Ferienwohnung
Uli Germany
Review Submitted: November 11, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
Die Ferienwohnung (insbes. die Küche ist für italienische Verhältnisse sehr gut) ist gut ausgestattet und sehr geräumig, sauber, die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. In den Sommermonaten ist die Paterrewohnung sicherlich ideal, als wir im Herbst da waren, fanden wir sie etwas dunkel. Das Haus liegt in einem ruhigeren Teil (aber nicht idyllisch ruhig) Mascalis, einer Kleinstadt zwischen Ätna und Meer. Von dort aus sind viele Sehenswürdigkeiten gut und schnell zu erreichen (Syrakus 1,5 Stunden, Ätna 0,5 -1 Std., Taormina 0,5 Std.). Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt.

Un trato excelente lleno de atenciones y detalles por parte de la propietaria, Maria Modello, dispuesta en todo momento a prestar ayuda y a facilitar información.

A WONDERFUL STAY IN A LOVELY APARTMENT
Philip & Teresa Australia
Review Submitted: February 19, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
We ahve been touring Europe for seven months, staying in self catering accommodation with a weekly change-over. We knew that things were going to be right when we were welcomed by Maria. A bottle of wine, a lemoncello cake and lovely flower in a vase, Maria smiling and welcoming us. The apartment was perfect - just as described - no, much better. Spacious, well equipped, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well located in Mascali. Very secure, and a delight to stay. Our hosts were helpful in every way, with local information and hints. Having stayed in almost 30 different properties in the last seven months, we rate this as one of the three best. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone.

Mascali_08
richm reading
Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed during the hot summer of 2008. The owners of apartment could not be more helpful or friendly, they were wonderful. The accommodation is large and clean with lovely original features. Mascali is a working town but only a few km from an extensive beach much loved by the locals. After negotiating the interesting driving habits of the Sicilians the apartment does make a good base for seeing the east of the Island. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the apartment to young families our want a taste of the 'real' Sicily rather than the tourist complexes. We shall never forget our first view of Mr Etna from the rooftop of the building.

Owner's Response: Sicily can boast of its pleasant weather all year round. However, during the peak season, August, it can get rather warm, but anytime would still be a good time to come and visit the island.Yes, our apartment is situated in a friendly town which gives our guests an opportunity to get familiar with the Sicilians and their way of life. It pleases us immensely when our guests plan on a return trip to our apartments. Now,I would like to take this chance to thank our dear guests for choosing us, Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero in Mascali, Catania.

Great Casa Vacanza
Stuhl Wien
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We very much enjoyed our stay in Casa Vacanza. The house is in a very good shape, clean and roomy. It is located in the small non-touristic town Mascali. It is an ideal place for sightseeing (Taormina, Catania, Ethna) and swimming as the next beach is just 2 km away. Maria, the landlord, was very nice and helpful. And if you get a chance, check out the panorama view on top of the roof where you can see the Ethna, Taormina and the sea!

Vacation at Casavacanza Conte Ruggero
Ellen - Traveller Richmond, VA USA
Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Charlie and I had a wonderful experience at Casavacanza Conte Ruggero. The apartment is newly renovated, filled with light, clean, well decorated, good kitchen with a large inviting terrace. The description regarding the location and facilities was accurate. There is a grocery store near-by which made it possible for us to prepare our meals in the very adequate kitchen. The owners bent over backwards to make us comfortable. The location in Mascali made it possible for us to walk about the town and visit the duomo.

We enjoyed eating all our meals on the terrace. There seemed to always be some kind of activity to be viewed from the terrace. We heard and saw the traveling market, the marching band, the church bells calling us to worship and the first communion children processing down the street to the duomo. We watched a family moving from their apartment and enjoyed waving good morning to the man across the street.

We had a perfect day in Taormina, visiting the town itself and walking all through and around the Roman Theatre. We also had a good day in Noto, a lovely town. We had packed a picnic lunch that day and ate in the public park. We also spend the day at the Syrcusa ruins. We had a time trying to get tickets. The people there were not very helpful. I advise before one goes there to look up on the internet where to buy the tickets. The ticket booth is not at the site itself but across the street past many, many shops.

We had a wonderful time in Mascali. Maria and Agustino were perfect hosts. I would advise anyone to stay there at their clean and well cared for home.

Owner's Response: It is always a joy for me to see how I have pleased my guests at my holiday home, Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero located in this friendly town of Mascali, Catania.Regarding the trying time one may go through as looking for the ticket booth to see the Siracusa ruins could happen due to the language barrier.Yes, I would advise checking on Internet beforehand.I will be more than happy to help my guests to be informed regarding tickets,sightseeing, or whatever they wish to do through my PC. This will certainly save them a lot of trouble and of course, their precious time.This way my guests will be assured of a happy Sicilian vacation.Thanks once more for choosing my holiday home.Best regards,Maria

Canadian Review of Conte Ruggero
Eville Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: October 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Casa Vacanza Conte Ruggero, is a splendid structure with a lot of very interesting and fine architectural details that, as we said to the owners, it belongs more in the South of France or, going closer, on the slopes of Taormina. There are many things to say about this house: the beautiful garden, the great terraces, the great view of Mt.Etna from the top of the building, etc. The hosts without any doubt make the whole experience a positive one; a mixture of oriental demeanor (Maria is from the Philippines, with their known graciousness and hospitality) and the Mediterranean flair of her husband, Agostino, is proper and serious but warm at heart. To top it off, their grown up children, Sabrina a very bubbly and giggling girl and Marco a guy always ready to help to make your stay as good as possible, every time done with honesty, a smile, good will and like his father, good heart.
~Regardless that it is not in the South of France nor Taormina, the property is well located for one to easily reach the road to Mt.Etna, Catania, Syracuse, Giardini and Taormina!! Of course prudence is recommended when driving on any road that has to go through a town to get to the main roads or autostrada. The highways in Sicily are superb, really second to none but the ones just mentioned are a different story. Sicilian drivers have their own rules and the one who gets there first, goes first!! But those Sicilians you might find walking on the street beside you, be it in such places as Catania, Syracuse or Mascali, are amongst the most friendly, helpful and good natured people you would ever encounter. It is quite natural for them to go out of their way to help you find yours!!
~The reader of this report might wonder if it is true that everything is so perfect. Nothing in life is; there were a few minor deficiencies, easy to correct and I’m sure Maria, a savvy and very clever woman will take charge and figure it out on her own. Be sure that the whole family
will always be there for you to have a great time with as few problems as possible.
~What you have read was, more or less what we experienced, once you’re there you will have your own ones. Maybe better, maybe worse, but for sure different!
~To our hosts thank you for so many things!! The Arancinis, the peaches, the local wine, the sparkling wines, etc. and for trying to make us feel welcome every day of our stay! For that special connection I will remember this trip forever! Arrivederci e a presto!!

Autumn in Sicily
Etna-bound France
Review Submitted: October 22, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Spacious apartment, newly renovated to high standard, very clean and well-maintained with large balcony. Fast internet connection. Extremely friendly, helpful owner. Good location for exploring Etna, Syracuse, Catania, Taorima, and environs. Note, the apartment is in town, Mascali itself is not pretty and there is quite a bit of traffic. Good place for a family needing good space and a base from which to visit the area.

Our Sicilian experience
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a terrific holiday and climbing Mount Etna was amongst the highlights. Maria and her family could not have been more welcoming and ensured that we felt at home. The accommodation in the villa is spacious, with well appointed facilities. The air conditioning was most welcome as we had very hot weather throughout our stay. The large veranda was an additional bonus and allowed us to dine out in the evening. Mascali is a working town so be prepared for the real Sicily with church bells and early morning traffic. With a bit of investigating the town offers some fine clothes shops and an excellent ice-cream parlour. Mascali is a short car journey to Taormina, with its magnificent Greek amphitheatre and Acireale with its Barogue churches. If you want a bit of local colour you must have a ‘Sicilian Pizza’ in Zafferanna, a pretty town half way up to Etna.
Many thanks to Maria, Agostino and their family for a wonderful holiday!

Great Apartment
Alexanderb Israel
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed for one week in the terraces apartment and it was great, the house is in a very good shape and is very clean and comfortable.
The owner of the place, Maria, together with her family met us with a very warm welcome and helped us in everything.
The house is located in a very good place in town, a few meters from the center and around 2km from the beach. The town itself is located in a very good place, near Catania and Messina, and very close to Etna. The place is very quite and well kept. I would say this is the best place in the town and it's location is very comfortable, the hosts are very nice and warm people, and we had a great time.
We very enjoyed our stay and if we will be in Mascali again, we will stay there again.
Thank you Maria and her family, we're very glad that we stayed in your apartment, and we will recommend it to who will fly to Sicily.
I wish you only the best,
Alex.

July in Sicily
Teds Ringwood, UK
Review Submitted: July 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Have just returned from a relaxing week in this lovely 1st floor apartment. It is well furnished & we were very comfortable (& grateful for the air conditioned bedrooms as the temperatures never dipped below 30 degrees even at night). The apartment has everything a family could need & is only minutes from a selection of wide local beaches, restaurants & supermarkets for provisions. The terrace has sun & shade at all times & has lighting so is still useable at night . It is in a residential district & we were soon greeting the neighbours with friendly nods & waves. You will need a car though & be prepared for the Sicilians driving style - definately from the 'he who dares, wins' variety!
Maria, our hostess was really helpful & kept us supplied with sight seeing information, tips & fresh fruit! There was also a welcome pack of beer & sparkling wine in the fridge - most appreciated.
I felt that the owners here really did put themselves out to ensure we enjoyed our week & would certainly come here again if we were returning to Sicily.
Recommended for:  Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: I have taken into consideration that most of our guests come from temperate countries. The air-conditioning units in the bedrooms and the shades out in the terraces are the latest improvements for their comfort. However, since this building dates way back to the 1930s the thick walls are already excellent insulators against exterior temperature.Consequently,even just keeping a door or a window open would gently ventilate the environment. At the same time the doors and windows have all been renovated with double glass. By the way, the air –con units are two-way, ideal also as heaters.

good price, great people!
jmsix Ramstein Germany
Review Submitted: June 7, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We were 7 and we fit comfortably. The apartment was very clean, and contains a nice assortment of books which we enjoyed. The proximity of the kitchen, dining, washer made for an efficient use of time, allowing maximum touring. Our host family was very kind and helpful in familiarizing us with the citta as well as local sites of interest. We were in walking distance of small grocery shops, the chiesa, pasticceria and coffee. Not much farther away, fresh rotisseri chicken and fresh seafood!
Delicious. We visited Mt Etna, Taormina,Valley of the Temples and Catania, home of St. Agatha.
This apartment has both heat and air conditioning, a real plus with the variable weather of spring! The local church has a vibrant community and the patron saint is St. Leonardo, patron saint for pregnant women and captives. The parishioners are welcoming and generous. You can learn a lot here.
We had only a slight problem with plumbing backing up, but the family was right there to help.
We arrived very late at night, yet were greeted pleasantly. There were fresh oranges waiting for us and when my husband asked for "wine, please", it was graciously given.
And it was delicious of course!
I do heartily recommend this apartment.
Thank you, Maria!
