Laura is so nice with her beautiful smile and her generous soul. The apartment has a balcony with a view on a garden. The ceiling is high which gives a beautiful spaciousness. The building is quiet and safe.

A cozy little place on the outskirts of Catania. The lovely host went an extra mile to wait for my late arrival and show me into a charming room. I'd say it was almost a royal-like welcome, especially after seeing the high ceiling, the decorations, the door to a small balcony from which you can admire majestic Etna while sipping your morning coffee. A coffee machine in the room at one's disposal; fresh fruits and soft drinks waiting in the fridge. The secure car park at the back. Just a few minutes walk from a pizzeria with friendly staff that was open late and gave me a chance to go to sleep well fed after a long day on the road. I will definitely come back when I have an opportunity for another trip to this part of Sicily!

Laura is the best host one can ask for; extremely nice, caring and warm. She was ever willing to help us with our needs and took us around to buy groceries etc and even sent us to the airport when we couldn't get a cab. She is really the best. We already miss her. As for the house, it is really well equipped and a perfect B&B for travelers. Very spacious with beautiful and cozy interior. Thank you, Laura, for everything. We truly enjoyed our stay. Full rating for me.

I recently stayed at the B&B “La Palma” and I can only praise the experience. The structure is welcoming and well-maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to provide useful advice on what to visit in the surroundings. The location is perfect, just a few steps away from the main attractions. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant stay. I will definitely return.

We stayed at this place for two nights and felt like we were on a test of courage. Cleanliness is really an unknown thing here. The apartment, managed by Mrs. Laura, is very helpful but kept in truly unacceptable conditions. The shower was full of mold and encrustations. Additionally, there are many objects and knick-knacks in the apartment full of dust. There was a bad smell in all the rooms and the refrigerator was unusable due to dirt. I'm sorry to say, but I absolutely cannot recommend this place.

I stayed for four nights at Casa Vacanza La Palma owned by Laura, and I must say that I met a truly sweet, helpful, and caring person who made me feel at home. I had problems upon arrival in Catania, during my stay, and also upon departure; Laura proved understanding and promptly ready to solve any kind of issue, making me feel like part of the family. Thank you for this tremendous availability. I recommend the property because it is very convenient for any destination, whether it's the sea, hills, or downtown Catania. I hope to return soon; meanwhile, congratulations because the help you provided is truly reassuring for a guest who is away from their own home.

Everything truly excellent, with a special praise to the friendliness and availability of the owner and another to the cleanliness of the premises. The furnishings are modern and comfortable, but if you look up there is a lovely frescoed ceiling. I will definitely come back, there is still so much to see around!

Having to stay for a week for work in the area, I deliberately chose a location outside the city. And it was a great choice! Laura's love for her Casa Vacanza La Palma shines through in every detail. Her availability and friendliness turned my stay into an unexpected vacation! Well connected to the major centers in the area, the apartment is very cozy and equipped with every comfort! Great value for money.

We had a great time, a warm welcome. The house is very clean and well furnished throughout. A wonderful place to relax in contact with nature, close to the mountains and the sea, I must also say well organized for those who want to move around and visit new places. In conclusion, if you want to relax and unwind for a few days, there is no better place.

Beautiful little house, located in a strategic position, equidistant from the sea and the mountains, perfect for a romantic weekend, like the one I did, but also for any other need, equipped with all comforts and a nice little terrace, to be enjoyed on beautiful days for lunch or dinner outside. The owner, Laura, is kind and very helpful. I will definitely come back.
