Although this accommodation is called a breakfast establishment, it doesn't actually provide breakfast. They do provide small breads and fruit. The hotel did come to clean the room on the third day of our stay. The location of the house is a bit run-down, and the lighting is limited after entering the gate.

First of all, it is habitable. But the picture it gave was very wrong, this is not a hotel but a famous inn. You will be living in a house with two other tenants. The shower drain was clogged and the water was overflowing.

Due to arriving outside the scheduled check-in time, we had to stay in a nearby location, with similar conditions, the landlord kindly quickly provided us with this solution, very clean common areas, comfortable bed. Clean towels. Nice views of the sea. The only thing to improve perhaps is the cleanliness of the room (sheets and floor). Otherwise perfect.

As a long-time traveler, this is the first time I have encountered such an irresponsible accommodation.
I thought I was scammed
No owner, no contact.
With the help of strangers in Italy, I was barely contacted.
I was able to enter
Koreans sincerely hope that no one stays here.
I plan to complain to Trip.com as well.
This is because you have been assigned a room of a different type (1 king) from what you reserved (1 queen size, 1 single)

Rottening bulding. Better stay out
STAY OUT! This place is full of mold. The Building is from Centuries ago. We could look the mold growing within 24hours. We where in transit and thought is no more than a short night but it stinks, its loud and amount of mold is worrisome. I did talked to another guest and he had the same mold issues.

I will come back
the room in this old style Italian apartment was very large with a bathroom and balcony. Kitchen, coffee, mini breakfast available to guests. the facility is located on the square in a safe area, close to the train station, bus stop, 10 minutes from via Etna. I recommend.

I did not feel good here…. I kept thinking the whole night that we could be trapped there. 1 heavy entry door with automatic lock inside. Same for the second heavy rod iron gate . If that lock malfunctioned when trying to get out? Just dark huge building with windows facing not really sure what ( another apartment). Clean, conveniently located, big enough…. Just the layout and getting in/out - I was glad when we left after one night.
