First things first: The area is incredible. Mount Etna is right there next to the terrace when you step out. The nature is lush and you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ocean.
What you should know that the ad doesn't really tell: This is an apartment within a house. There is also another small apartment included. Your terrace is shielded from view. The compound includes two other houses, one for more guests and one with reception and for staff. Part of the premises are vineyards and olive groves.
You will need a car. Driving up takes around 30 minutes and some getting used to – you will need to continue where you think the road ends. The nearest supermarkets are at the foot of the mountain in Fiumefreddo. You will enjoy this place if you like being in nature, hiking and relaxing. We spent our days doing day trips to Catania, Siracusa and Taormina. Doing this requires getting up earlier and driving back earlier to not get home in total darkness. It was already quite chilly during late October. There is a pallet oven which we didn't use yet. But bring thick socks in fall/winter.
The actual apartment is good for several people. Aside from the main bed, there is a third single bed and a folding sofa. However, no curtains or blinds (and bright lanterns outside) could make it hard sleeping in the living room/open kitchen.
We unfortunately found the place with below-par cleanliness and incomplete kitchen equipment. We were lucky to have brought a folding knife so we could properly cook.
The wifi stopped working on day 2.
The communications with the staff (the host Davide apparently doesn't live on site) were awkward at the beginning (we were confused for other guests) and we didn't have a phone number for any of them.
Our major issue was that while we were gone one day, a member of staff entered our apartment to remove a baby crib (perhaps for other guests?) without asking or informing us, neither before nor after, and also moving some personal items of ours in the process. This felt like an invasion of privacy and made us feel very uncomfortable. For this reason, we have to mention it here.
