Wonderful experience! Luigi and Perla are the perfect hosts - always on hand, never intrusive - and the space itself and its setting are charming. The house is a characterful, homely and beautifully-designed former winery, with a private terrace that has amazing views across the lemon groves to the sea (it's a magical setting and the terrace can be used day and night, as it is lit and shaded). Inside, you have all the usual home comforts, a very bright and good-sized bathroom with shower, a great sound system and a perfectly functional galley kitchen (we cooked and ate at home on all but one of our seven nights), including a dishwasher and even a wine chiller. You must make sure you drink Luigi's own wine! He will explain why, however much you consume, you will never get a headache (and we can vouch for it). The setting is quiet and secluded, in the midst of Luigi's lemon farm and off the beaten track; but despite this remoteness (perfect if you are seeking to get away from it all), you are still surprisingly well-placed for sightseeing. The Messina-Catania motorway is minutes away and Taormina, Etna, Catania and the coastal towns of Aci Castello etc are all within easy reach (and worth your attention). Some townies may initially be daunted by the drive up from the main road, but Luigi will meet and escort you and it's actually all pretty easy to find and navigate once you've done it the first couple of times. It becomes part of the fun. Luigi and Perla are really lovely and so helpful - there are many places we would not have seen, or would have enjoyed less, without Luigi's tips and suggestions (and his loan of a satnav) - and Luigi is always on hand if you need anything. So, whether you want to escape from things and relax, or have a special base from which to explore the region - we would highly recommend Luigi and Perla's place. And make sure you drink the wine!
