Sicily island: Bed and Breakfast Alhambra in Giarre November 23, 2009

All Sicily is a place to visit at least once, Giarre is a very typical city in the oriental part of the Italian island, not far from Riposto where you will find the famous Etna Port, the largest Touristic port of south Italy.  From this very lively and great place you will have easy access to the Etna (the highest European volcano..) and some of the most famous cities like Taormina, Catania and some of the most beautiful “minor” (less knowned) places, where the splendid Sea and nature is something you will never forget.

Therefore Giarre is surely a great location where to find your accommodation for a great holiday, and especially the Alhambra Bed and Breakfast, a newly finely restored building decored in Liberty style, will give you the occasion to experience a great place where the new trends and the charming tradition is greately gathered together. For instance, all rooms are air conditioning equipped, have decorated ceilings, have private bathroom, minibar, wireless internet, LCD Tv colors and all the comforts are guaranteed thanks to a nice garden and terrace on where you may rest after a satisfactory day spent around.

Bed & Breakfast Umbria – La Rocchetta Gualdo Tadino June 30, 2009

Umbria region has quite always been considered a secondary solution to Tuscany for many people aiming to have a country side holiday .

Nothing more wrong than that! Umbria is in my opinion one of the most beautiful region of the center of Italy with its own peculiar identity, and therefore nothing to envy to the more celebrated Tuscany.

Umbria is a great please were to have a very typical country side vacation, for all those of you who like any kind of excursion, say for instance by bike (Mountain bike), horse riding and so on.

The typical accommodation in that region is for sure the Agriturismo or Bed and Breakfast, and a nice one would be for sure La Rocchetta in Gualdo Tadino, thanks to its location in the historical center, La Rocchetta B & B is strategically located not far from restaurants, pizzieras and anything may be useful for a pleasant stay, moreover, Gualdo Tadino is probably the best solution, infact thanks to its location it will not be difficult to reach world known places like Assisi, Spoleto, Gubbio and Foligno.

Lastly, but surely to be mentioned, not far you will find the famous Frasassi caves, one of the most important karst complexes in the world.

So like I’ve said at the beginning, Umbria is a place to discover if you have never been before and to return if you already know what I am talking about!

Le Formiche – B & B in Milazzo March 29, 2009

B & B Le Formiche is a true valid alternative at the classic Hotel. Splendid useful location just few meters from the Sea, overlooks the Del Tono Bay, yet from its panoramic terrace you can also admire the Eolian Archipelago, giving everyday an unforgettable view .

 

What is really appreciable of this 5 rooms plus a family room Bed & Breakfast is its modern and classy style. All rooms equipped with private bath plus all the modern comodities like LCD TV, wireless, minibar, air conditioning and more. But what really gives a difference is the modern design of rooms all decorated in linear and essential style creating a fresh atmosphere in which you will feel comfortable from the very beginning.

 

We all know that nowadays a room is not sufficient to have a pleasant stay, even thought that is very important, we all most probably want and need more than “just a room”,  B&B Le Formiche thanks to the fact that is directly managed by the Formica family, is able to offer a real service, either in house ( alarm set, breakfast at particular time, etc.) but also give assistance for your outdoor activities, giving for example informations on what’s going on around, helping organise excursions to the Eolian island, hire equipment for your days at the beach, and much more.
