Leider viel zu laut

die Wohnung an sich ist top, jedoch ist die Straße vorm Haus stark befahren und man hört ständig das Beschleunigen von Autos und Rollern. Zudem war auf dem Dorfplatz nebenan von Donnerstag bis Sonntag jeden Abend bis 2 Uhr nachts Party mit lauten Bassboxen. Wäre alles erträglich, wenn die Fenster wenigstens ein bisschen isoliert wären oder schließen würden! Sonntagmorgens um 7:30 Uhr wurden für 20 Minuten sehr laut die Rohre durchgespült und danach hat die nahegelegene Kirchturmuhr ständig geschlagen. Man braucht einen schnellen und tiefen Schlaf oder zumindest Ohropax! Message an die Eigentümer: baut bessere Fenster ein! Gastronomisch gab es im Ort leider doch weniger Restaurants. Entgegen der Google-Aussage hatten viele geschlossen. Das sah man aber erst vor Ort.

Very nice appartement with a wonderfull balcony.

We stayed in the appartement, in the middle of the town of Paterno, for two weeks. We had a lovely time there, found some nice shops and restaurants and were able to visit a lot of nice places in Sicilië.

Über den Dächern von Paterno

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dieser tollen Wohnung. Die Wohnung liegt im 6. Stock und hat eine super große Dachterrasse, auf der man es sich gut gehen lassen kann und einen super Ausblick auf die Stadt hat. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man in einer Ferienwohnung benötigt. Es war sehr sauber und die Vermieterin, die direkt eine Wohnung drunter wohnt, ist total nett, spricht allerdings nur italienisch. Das einzig negative ist, dass man in der Wohnung den Straßenlärm und Abendfeiereien mitbekommt, auch wenn die Fenster geschlossen sind. Trotzdem kann ich die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen, da man so auch etwas von Paterno mitbekommt. Ich würde mich bei einem weiteren Besuch jederzeit wieder hier einmieten.

RIESEN-Terrasse mit supergemütlichem Studio

Das lichtdurchflutete Penthouse-Apartment befindet sich im 7. Stock eines ruhigen Mehrfamilienhauses im Zentrum von Paterno. Ein Lift bis zum 6. Stock ist vorhanden und war in der Zeit unseres 8-tägigen Aufenthaltes jederzeit verfügbar. Sehr gemütlicher Gesamteindruck. Guter Gasherd. An der Ausstattung hat nichts gefehlt. Geradezu sensationell ist der Ausblick: links die Hauptlirche St. Barbara, geradezu der Stadtberg mit dem Normannischen Kastell, rechts davon die schöne hügelige Landschaft des Umlandes; ganz rechts sogar noch eine Teilansicht des Ätnas. Die Eigentümerin, Senora Nellina, ist völlig unkompliziert. Sie spricht zwar kein Englisch, Kommunikation war mit beidseitig gutem Willen leicht möglich. Gesamturteil: SEHR empfehlenswert.
