The house was beautifully renovated. The bathroom was huge and the kitchen fully equipped. The landlady was very kind and helpful, she also gave us some great choices for food and drinks in the area.

The musty smell of the humidity in the room was really annoying. Riposto is sadly an abandoned town, so there is nothing to do there apart from a couple of nice places to dine. However, it's a convenient choice if you want to explore this side of Sicily but avoid the crowds of tourists.

A great guesthouse with an exceptional host. The suite had everything we needed and Elena was responsive and helpful and just generally very nice. The whole place is very well appointed and clean. The kids enjoyed the hot tub in particular and the beds were very comfortable – this was a very good place to stay.

Giarre-Riposto itself isn’t really set up for tourists to spend a lot of time there and doesn’t have a seaside even though it is by the sea. There are great places within a 20-minute drive, so this could be a good base to explore the region from, but if you don’t have a car and are looking for a seaside holiday, you’ll need a plan to get around.

Elena is the perfect host. She is welcoming, smiling. She will offer you a lift to the train station, she will make sure you feel like at home and that you miss nothing. She will give you tips if needed and she is always available. Her place is perfect. 100% clean, near the train station and she is generous with a welcoming supply of fine pastries and Prosecco. The loft was modern and it was calm and everything was functional. If you need a place for Riposto or Mount Etna, don’t hesitate and book quickly at Creuza de Ma :)

Our host Elena was extremely kind and was always available with tips and advice. Thank you! The apartment is in a newly renovated early 20th century building. The attention to detail with which the whole place was refurbished was impressive. Our aprtment was on the first floor and quiet, windows overlooking the courtyard with the pool. It was our base to travel to Etna cable car station (45min by car). The main train station of Giarrre/Riposto and the Circumetnea train station are both on a 10-15min walking distance.

Everything was perfect.

Our stay was exceptional! The room was beautifully furnished with a lot of attention to detail. It was spacious with everything you need, incl. coffee machine + coffee, well working air conditioning, even a washing machine. We had the pleasure to stay in the Apartment Bocca di Rosa with a private rooftop terrace incl. a Whirl Pool, which was amazing to relax after a day full of activities. There is also a nice Pool area which is usually never crowded due to the limited guest rooms at Creuza de Ma. Elena is the most amazing host: Always reachable, flexible, attention to detail and the best recommendations for Restaurants, excursions, beaches etc. My advice: follow her recommendations - they are the finest selection of the area. About Riposto: It is a cute town, not too touristic but with a few amazing restaurants and bars. It is a great alternative to the crowded and overpriced Taormina, which you can easily reach by car within 30 minutes.

Amazing host, amazing apartment with a pool and outside chilling area Found Risto Pizzaria Grano which did amazing pizzas and saved us when out late at night Bocconcinos around the corner for wow pastries, croissants, cannoli's and more! Rent a car to drive around

We really enjoyed the apartment, it is clean, spacious and modern. All the shops and restaurants are really close by so easy to access and enjoy this little town of Riposto. It was really great to have a pool and enough space to enjoy sun on the terrace. Elena is an amazing host, very welcoming and helpful. Loved our vacation here!

Wonderful apartments. Everything is clean, beautiful, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. At the meeting, we were given fruit and a bottle of wine and water. They told us everything and recommended good places to visit. You can list an infinite number of advantages of the apartment, but the main thing that they have is the super attitude of the owners. Such care and hospitality for guests creates an incredible feeling of comfort. Thank you Elena for the time that we were visiting you! We wish your home continued prosperity.

Beautiful and tasteful renovation, Suite Nina has a private balcony overlooking the pool, extremely comfortable and well laid out. Perfectly situated for local amenities and restaurants and only 5 minutes walk to train station with easy access to routes for sightseeing. The hosts are extremely helpful with details of local facilities and locations. The pool is great with a swim jet/current flow and spa / massage outlets. The courtyard by the pool is a secluded sun trap and the local area/neighbourhood surrounding the pool and courtyard is quiet with no noise or intrusion.

There is nothing we didn’t like.

I cannot praise this little hotel enough! Elena did a amazing job with this place. The appartment (we had first floor, terrace with pool view) was spacious, modern facilities and sametime real italian charme. The pool was big enough to take a real swim and cool down after a sightseeing day. Everything is clean, modern and classic. It looks exactley like the pictures. Espressomachine with coffee, fruits and a bottle of wine were waiting for us. Elena herself is a very warm and helpful host. In the moment she talks to you you feel like the most important person to her. We got great information, advice and recommendations. Thank you for a great stay!
