Sicily B&B in Pozzallo (Ragusa) November 26, 2009

If you are planning to have a great holiday with a great Sea, Italy and more precisely Sicily will just be the solution. In the extreme south of Sicily, you will find Pozzallo, a small city facing the Sea, a place with a fantastic climate, the typical Mediterranean climate not too hot in summer thanks to its mild refreshing winds.

Pozzallo is a less known place, however not for this reason is to be avoided from your consideration not only for a “Sea/beach” vacation, although it is surely not the largest city here you will have multiple interesting things to do and to visit, and I am sure your week holiday will pass as quick as you can never expect.

For instance Pozzallo has interesting monuments, such as Villas, churches and Palazzos, and of course the most important, the Torre Cabrera, a national monument and symbol of the city (assigned origins form 1429). If you are not very keen on architecture and you prefere folkloristic sides and food related festivals, no problem Pozzallo has very traditonal ones, and maybe the most important is the “Sagra del pesce” (fish festival), on during the week of mid August. An enormous pan, 4 meters diameter, is prepared to cook tipical local fish.

To experience all the above, having always the Sea as a main option the Bed and Breakfast Zagara is a fantastic solution, located just 300 meters from the “Pietre nere” beach, so no problem to reach it. The Zagara B&B is the ideal place where to stay in couple of with your family, 2 rooms, a double and a single with the possibility to add an extra bed and with a bathroom.

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.

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.
