A comfortable stay with big en-suite rooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Lovely touches like the welcome tart, wine and fruit enhanced Francesca & Corrado's natural warmth. They kindly waited up for us past midnight when our flight was delayed and took our patchy Italian in their stride.
I thought from the listing that the property was a self-contained villa, as it says 'Entire House'. This is not the case. There are hotel-like en-suite rooms, two on the ground floor and more upstairs. I think they only let out three in total, but we could hear others around and were not sure.
The garden area and pool are great and you have ample places to sit and relax. There are quite a few vocal dogs all around the area that were often keen to join in our conversation!
We found some great local restaurants and wine bars in Riposto - not the prettiest place at first glance, but there are some real gems to be discovered. Francesca let us know when Etna started erupting and offered to organise a trip for us. It was also great seeing it at night from the upstairs balcony at F&C's.
Thanks Corrado & Francesca for being such welcoming hosts.
