I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Ortensia and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The check-in and check-out process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free, making our arrival and departure seamless. The villa itself is immaculate. Everything was clean and tidy, and the attention to detail was evident throughout our stay. Our rooms were cleaned every day, ensuring a fresh and welcoming environment each time we returned. One of the most impressive aspects of Villa Ortensia is how accurately the pictures reflect the property. What you see online is exactly what you get in real life – beautiful, well-maintained, and just as described. If you’re looking for a perfect place to stay with top-notch service and pristine accommodations, Villa Ortensia is the ideal choice. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to others!

Beatiful BnB by the Sea
Beautiful BnB by the sea. We thouroghly enjoyed breakfast on the patio each morning and admired the garden courtyard. Everyone, including those in town, went out of their way to make our stay an enjoyable one. Remember to get the Ortensia phone number to open the front gate.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a Rick Steves recommendation. The breakfast, which was extra, was very good and plentiful. We had a car and there was parking right in front of the hotel. I would stay there again.

Beautiful property full of antiques
Beautiful room furnished with antiques and art. Pretty small touches - beautiful bedding, marble-covered dressing tables, stone-clad shower walls. Handy kitchen and balcony for the guests disposal. Very comfy four poster bed. Breakfast paid separately - range of sweet bakes or cooked savoury breakfast on demand.

My husband and I visited Catania for 5 days. My Italian friend recommended us to stay away from central Catania so we looked for somewhere within reasonable distance from the airport (less than 30 minute drive). It's just under an hour drive to Taormina and to the meeting point at Mount Etna where we did excursion. The villa is so beautiful with a lovely garden. The area is quiet and near the sea. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Our room is so clean and tidy. Good selection of Sicilian breakfast too. They also provide private parking in a secure area which is important to us since we know vandalism is quite an issue there. We really feel safe to leave our car there. We had a very pleasant stay here. Recommend it!

Pleasant vfm stay
We stayed a bit by accident due to some faulty map planning but it turned out to be a very pleasant first night in Sicily. Friendly and helpful hostess, charming little room felt very like staying as a house guest. Excellent value. Couple of relevant points though; it is not in the town itself - i would think a mile out - and it is very anonymous in the street, being behind big gates (get clear instructions before you go). That said there is a good bar/restaurant/pizzeria 200 yds away with sea views. Breakfast usually outside in garden. Cant entirely describe as the electric co dug up the road and turned the power off (so juicer/toaster etc out of action). Bathroom clean and worked and had hairdryer.

Nice B&B
We stayed here for our last night of 10-day Sicily trip. B&B is located close to the private beach, although the beach itself was not as nice as we excepted we enjoyed our stay here. Owners were vary nice and friendly. There is a cute little town Aci Castello nearby which offers a good selection of restaurants and places to eat out or have a drink.

Charming B&B!
We loved our stay at Villa Ortensia. The hosts were more than accommodating and lovely to be around. The location was great, there is an excellent beach club just at the end of the street. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Ok ophold men falsk varebetegnelse.....
Venligt værtspar, men ingen information ved ankomsten. Privat swimmingpool er en tilsnigelse, meget lille plastbassin ved naboen. Privat strand så vi intet til. Vi havde bestilt værelse med privat balkon, men fik et værelse med seperat balkon i forbindelse med fælles køkken. Ydermere var balkonen opbevaring for rengøringsmaterialer (koste, spande mm.). Ophold med morgenmad bestod af kagebord og havde intet med morgenmad at gøre. Kaffe og te i havneområdet var kun tilgængelig i forbindelse med morgenmaden og ryddet på alle andre tider. Ok, men heller ikke mere, da beskrivelse af stedet bestemt ikke lever op til virkeligheden.
