The sailor house was very comfortable, well appointed and spacious. August is probably not the best time of year to visit Sicily but the air conditioning made things very pleasant especially at night.Carmen was very welcoming and chilling out on the beach, 4 minutes away made the holiday restful. We didnt choose to go far afield, apart from Taormina but there are a lot of places to visit within close proximity if we had wanted to.Nice local restaurants, the ones recommended by Carmen were the best.

Nous avons passez un sperbe séjour à Letojanni, dans la maison du Marin. Très belle maison propre et équipée, village agréable et typique, propriétaire rigolotte et très gentille qui vous explique toutes les activités à faire dans les alentours, les transports, etc. Nous recommandons à tous les vacanciers cette maison. Nous même avons dans l'idée d'y repartir l'année prochaine !!! Merci pour tous Carmen !

The house is lovely and cozy and the location fantastic very close to the sea. Sicily has great fish very well cooked and awesome traditional breakfast. Carmen is very friendly and always available to help us. We recommend this place for a romantic getaway or family holidays.

Carmen hatte uns freundlicherweise sowohl am Bahnhof abgeholt und bei der Abreise an unser nächstes Reiseziel gefahren. Das urgemütliche Ferienhäuschen ist mit allem Notwendigem ausgerüstet und blitzsauber. Trotz engen Verhältnissen ist die Einrichtung sowohl stimmig als auch praktisch und mit 2 Bädern kommt man sich nicht in die Quere. Die lage am Meer ist einmalig. Trotz fehlendem Balkon, genossen wir die Meersicht von der Galerie aus und der Strand ist lediglich 2 Gehminuten entfernt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Carmen was an incredible hostess and the house was fantastic. We ended up forgoing restaurants and used kitchen and balcony with small table for most meals. The amazing ingredients at the market made long dinners at home such a treat. The location is fantastic - there's no need for a car unless you intend to drive around to leave Letojanni. Getting on foot to nearby villages is very treacherous, but there is a bus system (that we did not use). Carmen was the best. When she heard how excited I was about cherries being in season, she told me she would bring us fresh cherries from her yard. They were the best I've ever eaten!

The little house was perfect for us, a very comfortable couch to lounge on downstairs in the well lit basement kitchen/living room, always a comfortable temperature and quiet due to the thick old walls. A spacious and atmospheric bedroom, plenty of storage space. Cleverly retains the original character of the fishermans cottage but with quirky and welcoming modern decoration. Very nice to have bathrooms up and downstairs. Good quality bedlinen and towels, beach mats, umbrella and towels a very nice touch. Everything good quality and very clean. A very clever conversion on the first floor means that with both the windows open, there is a balcony, always light and with a little sea view, a lovely relaxing spot for morning coffee or evening wine. The sea is only a few seconds away around the corner, and you can drink your coffee or glass of wine there too, sitting on the wall and looking at the lovely view; only fishermen and the odd sunbather make it to this end of the beach, so it feels very peaceful. Carmen herself made the stay very easy from the start, kindly picking us up and dropping us back at the station, leaving us coffee and milk, beautiful strawberries, and a sack of gorgeous oranges from her garden when we left (and we got them back on the aircraft!) She generously offered us lifts to local beauty spots and provided great advice on where to eat (Carpe Diem), and left us with guides and timetables. The house is perfectly located at the very end of the sea front road which meant a lovely walk of 10 min any time we wanted to go to the local grocery shops (full of helpful and friendly locals and delicious Sicilian food) or for gelato or meals. Over the week, we really got to learn the rhythm of the local people, recognising the same old chaps at the cafe at 5.45pm, the children out with parents for gelato in the early evening, families dining at 9pm, and we have many lovely photos to remind us of the fantastic moonscapes over the sea. So easy to get around, you dont need a car; bus to Taormina (take in the stunning cliff views) trains to Syracuse, Santa Teresa (seafood), Catania, tour of Etna booked in Letojanni. This stay really exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay there again if we return to beautiful Sicily. Thank you Carmen!

We had a perfect holiday in the Sailor House. Carmen, the owner, was very friendly and provided us with information about what to do and she told us about the best places to eat. The house is really perfect. It has everyting you need for a relaxing holiday. We also liked the interior of the house very much. It is so nicely furnished. We enjoyed the fact that the beach is so close from the house. Only 30 meters! Letojanni is also a very nice town. We highly recommend Carmens Sailor House! Thank you Carmen for your hospitality. Wouter and Ria

We stayed at Sailor House for a week, and it truly was the best place to stay in Letojanni. The apartment is situated right by the beach at the end of the promenade so was very quiet and peaceful. The apartment itself is large and spread over 3 floors so it feels very spacious. It has 2 large, modern bathrooms, a fully kitted kitchen and double bedroom with lots of storage space. The balcony overlooks the sea, and the apartment in general had a lovely beach-feel to it, with lots of natural light. Carmen was a delightful hostess, she kindly arranged for us to be collected from the airport and showed us all the main attractions. She also gave us some delicious Italian coffee and fruit and veg from her own garden, which was such a lovely touch. If you are looking for a quiet beach holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of Taormina then Sailor House is definitely the place to stay. Letojanni itself has a wide variety of authentic Sicilian restaurants, beautiful beaches, and has a real local flavour to it.

What an amazing little gem of a house. Great location for a relaxed sun holiday. The house is in perfect condition, nice size bedroom, shower room, kitchen is nice. Free wifi which is always good for planning your daily trips, right beside the beach which has lovely mountains in the backround which is great for paragliding. Which is really popular. Really quiet area which make it more special. A long streched beach with nice restaurants little shops. Very close to tormina which has great beaches, bars, restaurants, nice little streets with great history. This is a must see place when you come to scicly. The owner of the house is such an amazing women with a great personality, really friendly, helpful. Provided fruit, coffee and most of all a list of great local restaurants which were outstanding. Thank you for everything and i recommend everybody to stay in this great place. Have a great summer Carmen, Regards, Mark x

Our stay in the Sailor's House has been absolutely amazing! on our arrival late in the evening we didn't have time to do our shopping. But Carmen, the owner, provided delicious strawberries, coffee etc. for breakfast next morning, so that we immediately felt home. We said to eachother that this must be the hospitality that can only be found in Sicily. Also, she provided excellent information about where to go and what to do. She will tell you where the best places are for dining, swimming and everything else. The house itself exceeded our expectations, nicely furnished and with a real historical sense to it. Perfect as a base from where we explored the volcanó area around Etna, and walked to the center of Taormina. Not as busy, but still very nice to walked around is Letojanni itself. We found the little alley with balconies very charming. And seeing the locals fishing on the beach in the evening, gave us the feeling that we were among the local people and not in the middle of mass tourism. We are very excited about this place. The only thing we regret about our holiday is that we booked for only a week. We recommend any couple who wants to go to Sicily to rent this lovely home. (But beware, we already told our friends and family, so we're not sure it will be available any time soon ;-))). Best regards, Mischa & Karin (girlfriend, not wife ;-))

We stayed 1,5 months in this house and enjoyed our stay. Carmen is an excellent landlady for sure - starting from the welcome dinner (fruits and wine and coffee) and providing us with the baby bed and seat and she was always available for answering any questions that we had. Every week cleaning and change of linen/towels, beach towels and umbrella at our disposal, kitchen equiped with everything we needed (and we mostly cooked at home). Air-conditioning worked fine (and you do need it in July). The only things that we didn't like was the lack of daylight in the house (we stayed indoors in the daytime when the sun is too hot) and cars/motos beeping all the time (as in the rest of Letojanni too). Letojanni is a very-very nice place, lots of "prons" for a family vacation with kids (our son was only 6 months when we went there) - in June there were very few tourists and clean beaches, we loved ice cream (gelato) and granita in the tiny gelaterias, the tastiest pasta and pizza, little fish markets where we bought fresh fish in the mornings, fresh fruits and vegetables and a very unique place for this region - "Paradise" beachclub (only 30 metres from the house) with a swimmingpool, reastaurant, park (excellent landscape design) and very very friendly staff. People in Letojanni are very nice, openminded, relaxed - you feel like at home when you are there. We rented a car and explored Sicily - will be back one day for sure

Nichée au fond d'une ruelle, à 30 mètres de la plage, cette maison de pêcheur récemment refaite offre à l'étage une belle vue sur la mer depuis sa terrasse intérieure. L'endroit est calme et les nuits sont bercés par le léger ronronnement du train passant sur les contreforts de la ville de Letojanni. Propriétaire très sympa. Accueil chaleureux. Soleil et chaleur au mois de novembre. Nous avons passé un bon moment. Merci.

We want to thank Carmen for a very pleasant holiday in Letojanni. We arrived late in the night but it was no problem for Carmen and we were well received. There was a plate of fresh fruit waiting for us and Carmen gave us a good information about interesting villages aroud Letojanni. The house was perfect, fully corresponding to our expectations, tastefully decorated with beatifull colors and well-functioning. We also liked very much the environment which was both rustic (we met chickens and sheeps on our morning walks!) and urban with restaurants, pizzerias and smaller supermarkets. And it was only a few steps to the beach. Taormina iwas near, with quite good bus connections. Carmen took us to two nearby villages, Savoca and Forza d´Argo and she was a very good guide for us. One of the reasons why we chose this house was that we coudl take our dog with us. Also he was pleased! We warmly recommend this property. Thank you again, and good luck and success for the future!

The house is as nice as shown on the photos. Colorfully painted and beautifully furnished. It is only a few meters away from the beach. And a few more meters away from bars and restaurants. It is quiet if you don´t mind everyone coming around the corner blowing his horn to announce his approach. That´s a bit enervating after a while. It was very hot at the time we stayed, but the house has thick old stone walls that produce a good climate inside!- For your stay I strongly recommend a rental car, because one can´t possibly spend all his time in Letojanni, which is good for bathing and dining and that´s it. But there are so many sights within a few hours in reach- we had a great time! Carmen gave us some good tipps where to go. Thank you!

Very nice plase; beach and swimming pool very close - wich is important when you are with the child, like we were (5 y.o.). It was very pleasant stay.

My partner and I stayed at this property for 6 nights in September. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and it was exactly what we were looking for. Carmen kindly met us in Letojanni and drove us to the property-she gave us a good explanation of the local amenities. On our departure she drove us to the bus stop-which she didn't have to. The bed was very comfortable and the property was tastefully decorated. We would strongly recommend this place. The area is quite and ideal for a couple.

Ottima casa(confortevole,ben arredata e ben tenuta);ben posizionata a pochi passi dal pulitissimo mare. Ottima anche l'accoglienza! Proprietario di rara gentilezza e cordialità!

Positive aspects were that the interior was very tastefully decorated and furnished, the house had 2 modern bathrooms, a spacious main bedroom and overall is clean & well equipped. The location near the beach is fine, parking no problem and relatively easy access to the town. However we did not enjoy our stay because... The alleyway leading to front door was home to pigeons so floor was carpetted with pigeon droppings. Main living room was dark and gloomy - only one tiny window. Lack of natural light on groundfloor & no view from the house was a major drawback. Bed uncomfortable but sadly this is often the case with rented property. Finally the fact that a neighbouring house was being renovated during our stay meant unwelcome noise early in the morning but I guess this problem will go away.
