Stay the first to weeks in may.
Very pleasant stay in Mascali in Paolo's apartment, quiet and well maintained. The place is charming and typical, a little removed also which requires renting a car.

Der Strand ist in der Nähe
Das Apartment ist recht nett. Doch nach der Reservierung wurde der Preis erhöht. In der Küche in wäre ein Schnittbrett praktisch und im Bad fehlt es an Möglichkeiten, um die Tücher aufzuhängen. Mit einem Auto ist die Lage super, allerdings war och in der Nebensaison da und auf den ÖV angewiesen, der am Ort selbst nicht föhrt.

Ottima posizione e struttura
Inizio con dire che la posizione è assolutamente ideale per chi come noi alterna giornate in spiaggia ad esplorare e visitare il territorio. Le spiagge in quel tratto di costa sono tutte uguali pertanto non vale la pena allontanarsi da Fondachello ( anche perché i parcheggi sono tutti a pagamento). L'appartamento dispone di un comodo parcheggio e per raggiungere la spiaggia è sufficiente attraversare la strada L'appartamento è ben fornito, pulito e luminoso. Unico neo in una stagione così calda l'aria condizionata del soggiorno non raggiunge le stanze. Ottimo il supporto dell' host sempre pronto a fornire consigli e informazioni. L'appartamento è funzionante e fornito di tutto

Correct
L'appartement est correct en général. Points positifs: emplacement impeccable, à côté de tous les commerces et services. Appart en bonnes conditions générales. Hôte gentil. Points négatifs : J’avais choisi celui-là pour la piscine et le bbq mais à mon arrivée on m’a dit que c’était une erreur et que l’appart ne disposait pas de ces services. Il y a juste une petite clime pour tout l’appartement qui n’arrive pas à baisser la température, on a du mettre le matelas en cuisine car impossible de dormir autrement. L’appartement ne dispose pas du nécessaire pour des vacances de longue durée ( pas de lave-linge ni de possibilité de changer draps ou serviettes ). Avec du vent la lamiere des escaliers fait un bruit assourdissant et impossible de la réparer. Voisinage très bruyant.

Nice place but not out of season
Arrived to find everything closed. Swimming pool had been closed for the season - not notified of this before I arrived. No grocery shops open and only a couple of restaurants. Host was great and did what he could, but was ultimately not able to help. Decided to move after 2 days to somewhere that had shops open.

Great base by the sea
Great wee flat. Clean, perfectly sized, well equipped, effective aircon, hill views and ETNA!! Sea just a hop skip away and crystal clear sea awaits! Not the usual touristy area so it’s fab for the authentic Sicilian experience! Highly recommend.

Nice apartment with roof terrace with great view to Etna
The apartment was perfect, everything you was available. Breakfast in the roof terrace was wonderful and evening we saw Etna summit in red light, phantastic. The village Fondachello was unfortunately rather polluted but this was often the case in whole Sicilia. Hope this will improve in future.

Beach ready apartment
The best rental experience I’ve had in the dozens of apartments I have rented over the years. The landlord was great an extremely help-full. All the expected amenities were present. The location is outstanding about 30 meters from the beach. One can walk along the beach road for at least 4 miles in both direction of the apartment. The beaches are great and you have a choise of dozens of Lido clubs along the eight mile stretch of beachs. Plans are to rerun for a longer stay. Once again I would like to thank the host for a wonderful experience.

Sauberes Quartier mit einigen Defekten
Trotz einiger Unzulänglichkeiten (Undichte Wasserleitung, Fernseher und Internet erst am 2.Tag) ein originelles, sehr sauberes, gut ausgestattetes Quartier. Attraktion der Dachboden mit direktem Blick auf den Ätna. Kann weiterempholen werden. Swimmingpool jedoch nicht am Haus und nur für 2 Personen (zu Fuß bestimmt 2omin Weg)

Nice and cosy appartement
The apartment is well situated from all you need to see around (Taormina, etna, alcantara caves). Paolo and his family are very nice and welcoming. And the small rooftop is great with the view on the etna and Taormina. You can have breakfast or lunch/dinner it is very nice. It is well furnished and you have everything you need. The neighbourhood itself is not very interesting but it is ok as there are plenty things to do during the day around. The beach next to the apartment is dirty but nothing to see with the rent but it is better to know.

Sehr schön mit herrlichem Blick auf den Ätna.
Gemütliches Feriendomizil, nah am Strand und einigen schönen Restaurants. Minimarkt in der Nähe. Nette Vermieter und Nachbarn. Optimaler Ausgangspunkt für Ätna, Catania, Taormina , Syrakus und Messina.

intimo e accogliente
siamo stati ospiti di Paolo nel piccolo loft appartmento piccolo ed accogliente e con tutti i confort. Molto silenzioso e con una vista mozzafiato a sud Taormina e Castelmola e a nord l'Etna in tutta la sua maestosità. La vicinanza dal mare ( basta attraversare la strada ) e da Taormina (20 min.) dall'Etna ( 30 min. ) Catania e la riviera dei Ciclopi hanno reso il soggiorno veramente piacevole, ogni giorno un posto diverso e non stancante.Mi è piaciuto veramente tanto soggiornare al piccolo loft, ringrazio molto i proprietari per la loro gentilezza e disponibilità.

l'appartamento è molto carino e funzionale, luminoso e curato in ogni particolare.quasi fronte mare
Siamo stati benissimo l'appartamento è molto carino e funzionale,si trova a due passi dal mare dal terrazzino dell'appartamento c'è una vista mozzafiato di fronte Taormina e Castelmola dall'altra parte l'Etna. I proprietari sono stati gentilissimi e si sono messi a disposizione per qualsiasi esigenza. Il posto è veramente incredibile perche' si trova a 15 minuti da Taormina 30 minuti da Catania e 20 minuti per il vulcano. Veramente una bella vacanza mare splendido montagna con panorama incredibile, da consigliare vivamente.Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di visitare tanto e di goderci la splendida spiaggia di Fondachello. Ci siamo veramente rilassati, torneremo sicuramente.
