We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Sciara Larmisi and would 100% recommend!
The host was fantastic, excellent communication prior to arrival with clear details on how to check in out of hours, breakfast was lovely and if the weather allows, absolutely make sure you enjoy it on the rooftop terrace!
The B&B is spotlessly clean and staff and room was very comfortable.
Location is excellent too, within 1 minute walk to bus stops for the airport shuttle and main square and via Etnea are only a short walk away too.
