Pacetti's Place

Santo Stefano was a lovely town and the rooms at this B&B were nicely done. We booked here because of comments we read about the owner. Can't say enough about the wonderful assistance we received. Andrea was a personal tour guide, offering advise on where to go and what to see. He made dinner reservations for us at places that suited our needs and was available by phone 24/t when we were out and about. He even assisted with translation via mobile phone when we had some communication difficulties

Here's the deal: The room is large but kind of basic. The bed could be more comfortable, lighting could be improved. There is a common kitchen area if you want to make your own lunch or dinner. The location is in the heart of the old town--you can walk to anywhere you might want to go in Santo Stefano (except, of course, the industrial areas where there are some ceramic factories). The price is right. But from reading reviews, the real value added feature of Pacetti's place is Andrea Pacetti. Unfortunately, a family emergency kept him in Rome while we were in Santo Stefano. He tried very hard to be helpful on the phone---he even made reservations for us at two great restaurants, alerting the owners that we were his special guests. I can only imagine how much more we would have liked staying in Santo Stefano at his “Place” if he had been there.

This flat in a nice authentic street of Santo Stefano di Camastra is like a jewelry box. Once you open the door you will immediately feel yourself at home! The flat is designed in a very unique style and the kitchen is equipped with quality household goods. Andrea, the owner of the flat is a super host, speaks very well English and last but not least his kindness made our 4 days absolutely unforgettable. We can recommend this place to anybody who wants to experience the real hospitality of Andrea and very good place for relaxing or would like to find a good starting point for the Sicilian excursions. Having breakfast (provided by the B&B) on the terrace of Le Palme viewing the blue sea is priceless!
