We stayed in this house for 4 days in April. The first 2 days the weather was really cold and rainy. The heating system was not good. There is a fireplace on the ground floor and that's not enough for the whole house and you have to be busy with it to maybe adjust the temperature of the house. There is also a split air conditioner in each room that can heat as well, but that's not enough. Because of the weather in Catania, the heating system cannot be called a real problem. the host is nice, really helpful and always available. I definitely recommend renting a car in Catania. at the end i wanted to say that everything was great and maybe we will travel again in summer to be able to swim in the pool of house.
