I cannot recommend Le Case di Seba highly enough. Everything has been crafted with such care, the experience is just perfect. The rooms and apartments have been designed with such taste, such quality and such consideration. Everything you might want is there, before you even think of it. The terrace upstairs is perfect for sundowners, a meal, or sharing impressions of the day with other guests. Views of the sea on one side, the church, on another, and the watchful omnipresence of Etna on a third, make for great photo opportunities, and the soft melodies of church bells mark the passage of time mellifluously.
Everything is spotlessly clean, comfortable and quiet - despite the proximity to town, to transport links and major routes. The location is ideal - for those driving in, it's close to routes from Catania or Messina; for those using public transport, the bus stops just around the corner, and the train station a short stroll away. The Main Street of town - with everything you'd want - is on hand, and down the road (a few minutes walk) is a strip of beaches, stretching as far as the eye can see.
This is a real Sicilian town, with real people, who are warm and friendly. Bus drivers chat and joke with passengers, as do cafe staff dispensing granita (with brioche, mmmm....) or cornetto and caffe for breakfast. (Great pizza ,too, and if you enjoy seafood, there are plenty of seaside options with great menus).
