A fabulous stay from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.
The place is beautiful, views unbelievable and the breakfast….off the scale.
Chantal is a fabulous host and Just Be was a fantastic start to our trip.
Thank you so much.

Pleasant surprise discovering this stay exceeded all the excellent reviews.
Owner Chantal (half Sicilian / half Swiss) & family rightfully pride themselves on this great lofty viewpoint, the care they put into guest service, well equipped cool bedrooms & breakfast produce either grown on their own land or sourced nearby.
We found their local knowledge & tips more helpful than guidebooks.
Top tips: book the popular masseur early & ask about the day boat trip (150hp open rib) which speeds you from 15 minutes away to the astonishing, relatively unknown Vulcano & Lipari islands, where 2 stops make for the perfect value day out!
Highly recommended hospitality makes ‘Just Be’ particularly memorable - a real gem from where enjoy beautiful hilly drives to also reach tourist hotspots Taormina & Etna

Incredible experience. We had a very private, well appointed suite where we were very comfortable. The hostess was very attentive and saw to it that we had some memorable experiences. Clearly all guests were enjoying the property which offers a spectacular sea vista far from nose and traffic below. Highly recommend unless you are addicted to hubub

The B&B allows to book 2 different types of rooms, the suites and the normal rooms.
We have had the chance to stay in both type rooms. The suite Vulcano is absolutely amazing; you have privacy, a super clean room and the view it's just spectacular.
Regarding the normal rooms i am not so sure. This type of rooms are located in an old building (the suites are newly made) and because of that we have had some issues with humidity smell.I am not sure whether this is an issue that can possibly arise in any of these rooms or just the one we stayed in.
If you were to book a normal room i would suggest asking for one on the top floor as the view is better.
The owner is an absolute gem, i can't spear enough good words for how well she runs the place, always present when you need her and never there when you don't. You can feel her passion for the place and her love for nature and the surrounding.
The pool is not massive and can only accommodate 6 ppl, it wasn't a problem for us and we have managed to find plenty of occasions to enjoy the pool.
Breakfast is amazing, all locally sourced ingredients...the coffee could have been better but it is a really small detail.
To summarise:
Great host, absolutely mesmerising views, great breakfast and super room if you go for the suite.
this is a place for people that want a break from the city, find some silence and some peace. If you're looking for parties and caos then you probably want to look elsewhere.
Overall 9/10

Traumhafte, absolut ruhige Lage mit schönem Blick auf Liparische Inseln. Köstliches Frühstück mit frisch gebackenen Kuchen. Schöne Zimmer. Sehr sauber. Sehr aufmerksame Chefin, die gute Tips für die Region gibt.
Je kleiner der Mietwagen, desto mehr Spaß hat man bei der Anfahrt!

Tolle Kommunikation im Vorfeld mit Chantal und diese tolle Unterkunft war noch schöner, wie die Fotos schon erahnen ließen.

Een heel goede accommodatie met een top gastvrouw en vriendelijk personeel. Geweldig uitzicht, vooral vanuit het zwembad. Heel gevarieerd ontbijt.
