A Casa di Marco

We booked this B&B at the last minute as our original B&B fell through. At first I was concerned that Marco’s was in the middle of nowhere! I was wrong - everything you need is just a short walk away. There is a lovely lido over the road, a fantastic restaurant near by, a supermarket and a bus stop into Catania around the corner. After a very hot trip into Catania it was bliss to get back here. Marco is a great host and provides an exceptional array of pastries at breakfast.

The holiday process was very pleasant, the stay was very comfortable, the landlord was very amiable, it was a wonderful memory, the island was beautiful.Volcanoes, harbors, waves, birds, are so cute Thank you for your hospitality

We stayed at "A Casa di Marco" for four nights. We were looking for a serene place where to spend our short holiday -and that's exactly what we found. The B&B is situated outside the city centre, close to the sea, thus it provides tranquillity and an air of calm. Being away from the city centre might be viewed as a disadvantage. However, for those who love walking, like us, there is the opportunity to walk along the promenade and reach the station within an hour. This place is very clean, cosy and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, even for a family of four. Our room also had a balcony overlooking a green garden, which is lovely. A private bathroom was situated next to our room. Towels were provided. Free Wi-Fi was also available. The host, Marco, is very friendly. He treated us as friends, as if he knew us for a very long time. He provided us with taxi service from and to the airport, even though it was late in the night. He also advised us about places of interest in Catania. Marco, always provided us with warm and fresh nutella filled croissants, which the children really enjoyed. For me, who doesn't eat sugary foods, there was always fresh, warm bread with butter and cheese, as I requested. We could ask for as many cappuccinos as we wanted. Marco always served us these with a smile. For the kids, there was fruit juice and milk, too. This has been a memorable short break - a lovely way to end 2018. And I'm glad that we spent it in "A casa di Marco". A home away from home!

My friend, Marco, a cute and amazing man. I have never thought that I can meet such a wonderful host, live in such a comfortable place, the flat is clean and cozy, the garden is beautiful and quiet with plenty of trees, the green will occupy your eyes when you stand on the balcony, every morning the birds will wake you up, the sunshine will fill your room, and Marco will wait you to have a wonderful breakfast with Sicilia’s specialty, it is a moment with happiness. The coffee in Italy is wonderful, but the coffee in Sicilia is the best, Macro will make as many cups as you want. To me, Macro is more than a host, he is my friend. The first day I arrived in his house, he recommended all the delicious and traditional foods to me, gave me wonderful advice about where are the amazing places you must go in Catania. There are so many topics you can talk with him: the football, the Formula 1, the cars and driving habits in Italy, I thank you can talk as what you want with him. I left his house very early in the morning to catch my place, when I arrived home I just fell asleep because of exhaustion, when I woke up, the first message I saw was from Marco, he said “Thank you” to me. He told me that he loves meeting people and it is really nice to establish friendly relations with this way. He also told me: nature is perfect! Dawn, sunset, the world is wonderful. Man destroys nature. He asked me: what is the most important thing to you about your country China. A man who with these thoughts must be a cool man!! To me, Marco’s house is more than a place to sleep. It is my special and unforgettable memory, I finished my letter to a special people, I told her: you got to put the past behind you before you can move on. I ended my relation with my first love, a 2092 days special memory. I wrote more than forty postcards to my family, my teachers and my friends who once stood beside me and supported me. Marco was sitting beside me and he made three cups of coffee to me that morning. I told Marco, one day I will come back to Sicilia with my most important person, and I will live in his place again. We will share our stories in the same room, at the same table where I wrote my letter and postcards. So what about you? Come and share your brilliant story, let this lovely house become a link between us!

A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The owners are very easygoing, available to help out with any issue or request. Rooms are spacious, clean, and quite spacious for the cheap price. Massive supermarket next door. We had to stay near the main Hospital Cannizzaro and its 5 minutes drive from there. My brother had to use a wheelchair and the room was spacious for him to move around. The owners even kindly helped my brother when I was away giving him a lift, more than one time with their car to the hospital and back. Plenty of free parking space near by. For the price and location in Acicastello I highly recommend it. Thank u
