Our stay was exceptional! The room was beautifully furnished with a lot of attention to detail. It was spacious with everything you need, incl. coffee machine + coffee, well working air conditioning, even a washing machine. We had the pleasure to stay in the Apartment Bocca di Rosa with a private rooftop terrace incl. a Whirl Pool, which was amazing to relax after a day full of activities. There is also a nice Pool area which is usually never crowded due to the limited guest rooms at Creuza de Ma. Elena is the most amazing host: Always reachable, flexible, attention to detail and the best recommendations for Restaurants, excursions, beaches etc. My advice: follow her recommendations - they are the finest selection of the area. About Riposto: It is a cute town, not too touristic but with a few amazing restaurants and bars. It is a great alternative to the crowded and overpriced Taormina, which you can easily reach by car within 30 minutes.

Nothing

Beautiful and tasteful renovation, Suite Nina has a private balcony overlooking the pool, extremely comfortable and well laid out. Perfectly situated for local amenities and restaurants and only 5 minutes walk to train station with easy access to routes for sightseeing. The hosts are extremely helpful with details of local facilities and locations. The pool is great with a swim jet/current flow and spa / massage outlets. The courtyard by the pool is a secluded sun trap and the local area/neighbourhood surrounding the pool and courtyard is quiet with no noise or intrusion.

There is nothing we didn’t like.

Wonderful apartments. Everything is clean, beautiful, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. At the meeting, we were given fruit and a bottle of wine and water. They told us everything and recommended good places to visit. You can list an infinite number of advantages of the apartment, but the main thing that they have is the super attitude of the owners. Such care and hospitality for guests creates an incredible feeling of comfort. Thank you Elena for the time that we were visiting you! We wish your home continued prosperity.

I cannot praise this little hotel enough! Elena did a amazing job with this place. The appartment (we had first floor, terrace with pool view) was spacious, modern facilities and sametime real italian charme. The pool was big enough to take a real swim and cool down after a sightseeing day. Everything is clean, modern and classic. It looks exactley like the pictures. Espressomachine with coffee, fruits and a bottle of wine were waiting for us. Elena herself is a very warm and helpful host. In the moment she talks to you you feel like the most important person to her. We got great information, advice and recommendations. Thank you for a great stay!

For us, this place was the perfect ending of our journey across Italy. It’s a tranquil oasis in a beautifully refurbished house, which blends classical and modern elements in its architecture. It’s close to the centers of Riposto and Giarre and conveniently located for trips to Etna. We enjoyed every morning on the balcony overseeing high rising palm trees while sipping great complementary coffee in the quiet. The apartment is thoughtfully designed and offered everything we needed. The crystal clear pool was the perfect addition for winding down after an adventurous day. Our hosts Elena and Claudio were helpful, nice to talk to and embrace hospitality. They try everything to turn your stay into an experience, eg. we were greeted by a big bowl of fresh local fruits. Highly recommended.

Elena greeted me on arrival with warm hospitality, answering all questions and providing useful information on the area. The apartment (“il pescatore”) was stunning: immaculately clean, equipped with excellent Wi-Fi, well supplied kitchen, and very spacious bedroom, bathroom and living room. The pool and garden area were delightful. I was on the ground floor but had no trouble with street noise. The air conditioning worked perfectly and the bed was very comfortable. The building itself is a beautifully restored “palazzo “ with every amenity.

I cannot think of anything negative. There were plenty of places within easy walking distance to buy daily essentials, including specialty shops for cheese, fish, wine, bakery, etc. I was in the area for work so can’t comment on the how suitable the neighborhood would be for vacation purposes.

All the accolades given to this little gem in riposto are well deserved. Elena and her family were excellent hosts and really take such good care of their guests and made our stay so special . Even before our stay she took the time to send recommendations for nearby restaurants. The rooms themselves are spotless with all modern amenities and again we were staggered by Elena's generosity - there was wine and fruit left for us ! The apartments are well placed for exploring nearby restaurants and bars . I really cant fault our stay - wonderful!!!

Elena is a wonderful host. The arrival was really warm with lots of stories and lovely tips. Creuza De Ma is a great place that felt like home during our stay on this side of the island. We easily drove to Etna and Taormina. And from the nearby station we took the train for a day in Catania. The beach in Mascali is also close with many parking possibilities. We especially enjoyed Lido Moby Dick there. Our suite felt like a luxury stay, we found everything we needed and more. It all felt very well taken care off: in our room, the garden and swimming pool. We highly recommend this place!

We honestly can’t think of anything we didn’t like.

This place is highly recommended! Helena is the best hostess we have ever met. She is very talkative, generous, and hospitable. She helped us with dining reservations, recommended places to visit and prepared welcome fruits. (She's living next to the place, no worries about sharing the property with the owner lol) There are only three large suite rooms on the property. Hence, you don't have to share the common space (pool, little garden )with many other visitors. Besides, the apartment is well decorated with lovely plants and paintings. And it is fully furnished with all you may need (air conditioner, micro-oven, glasses, plates, washing equipment..etc)! Everything is well-designed with really great taste. The property is located on the main street of the town. 4 mins walk to the train station, and 15 mins by train to Taormina. This town is not crowded with tourists, hence the prices of food are way cheaper but tasty as well. (She really knows where to eat !! the restaurants are unexpectedly good) Definitely, will visit again!!!!!!

The best place in which I ever stayed. If you are considering other places take this. Extremely helpful and nice owner - Elena is amazing. She left for us in the room coffee, tea, strawberries and wine. Kitchen is fully equipped. Room is very stylish and clean. I am highly recommend this place for holiday. Amazing view for Etna from the rooftop. I am glad that I found this apartment.

Everything was perfect
