Unfortunately
my
stay
at
this
B&B
was
not
as
pleasant
as
the
other
reviews
make
out.
Firstly,
do
not
stay
here
if
you
don't
have
a
car.
There
is
no
public
transport,
and
the
villa
will
charge
you
an
extortionate
amount
to
use
their
own
staff
to
take
you
to
Catania.
We
were
charged
€70
for
a
non
taxi
service,
the
going
rate
is
normally
€30
-50.
Although
Nicolosi
is
about
a
10min
walk,
there
is
nothing
else
to
do
on
that
street.
Ubers
and
taxis
don't
come
from
Catania
because
it
is
too
out
of
the
way,
so
you
are
really
stuck
for
things
to
do.
Secondly,
although
the
staff
are
very
friendly,
I
do
not
feel
the
service
was
met.
There
is
no
management
on
site
after
11,
unless
they
are
showing
new
people
around.
This
means
you
have
to
text
reception.
Yes
TEXT.
Therefore
any
additional
help
you
may
need
throughout
the
day
is
not
physically
there.
I
would
suggest
atleast
offering
their
service
for
a
couple
of
hours
in
the
afternoon
too.
We
were
also
told
if
we
needed
a
taxi
to
just
text
reception,
when
we
did
this
around
10am,
we
were
text
back
with
no
options
available
till
2:45.
It
wasted
our
day,
and
unfortunately
I
missed
out
on
an
excursion.
We
were
offered
an
Etna
excursion,
which
was
amazing.
But
a
sailing
excursion
would
have
cost
us
€180
not
including
travel
to
Catania!
I
would
have
thought
management
would
have
helped
us
out
a
bit
knowing
we
were
stuck
with
no
car.
In
the
morning
at
breakfast,
the
manager
would
stay
in
reception
whilst
we
were
served
and
helped
with
breakfast.
And
although
the
staff
were
nice,
they
couldn't
speak
English
and
we
can't
speak
Sicilian.
It
would
have
been
nice
to
have
extra
help
by
management
during
breakfast
times,
maybe
to
ask
about
how
you
like
your
coffee/extras.
Finally,
although
this
villa
is
beautiful
and
very
clean,
it
is
LOUD.
Our
room
was
literally
behind
the
breakfast
room.
Sometimes
you
would
hear
people
chatting
away,
things
being
set
up
by
7:30am.
No
ability
to
sleep
in,
as
you
would
like
to
on
a
holiday.
The
garden
is
stunning,
lots
of
hard
work
out
into
it,
but
it's
is
very
close
to
the
main
road.
Both
strangely
peaceful
and
loud
at
the
same
time.
In
the
end
my
partner
and
I
had
to
fork
out
more
money
to
stay
in
the
city,
for
convenience.
We
were
not
given
any
sort
of
refund
to
any
degree
for
nights
we
did
not
stay
at
the
hotel.
We
were
also
told
travel
was
basically
not
their
problem,
but
I
mentioned
this
would
be
a
good
thing
to
mention
on
their
website
for
future
guest.
Sadly
I
would
not
stay
here
again.
But
I
thank
them
for
their
hospitality
nonetheless.
