We had the most wonderful stay at Alessandras place. It is furnished and decorated with a lot of taste and it provided everything we needed.
Sitting on the beautiful terrace, enjoying the silence and the views over the sea and on majestic Etna, was very relaxing. It was fun to cook by ourselfs with all these delicious local ingrediences and grill fresh fish. Besides, Sebastiano, who takes care of the place, spoiled us every day with fresh vegetables and local specialities from the market, that he brought us. Such a nice guy!
The only small drawback was the swimming: the sea was a bit dirty on some days (depending on the current), on others there were a few sea urchins (no problem with the water shoes though, which visitors are free to use). But it did not really bother us, as lying in the deck chairs on the shady terrace was unbeatable anyway.
So this is a 100% recommandation!
