This place is really nicely located in the mountains. We picked it because of this and because of the swimming pool and both did not disappoint.
The house is basic but sufficient, it had everything we needed including a baby bed. There are some dogs around which can be barking but it did not bother us at all.
The pool is not heated but while we were there in september it was in good temperature, also it is being cleaned during the day automatically. This makes it a great place to spend some days near the pool.
Communication with Marcello was very quick and clear and the checkin with Salvatore was also very nice. When we arrived the fridge was already filled with drinks like beer and wine, and a lot of snacks and pasta. This really is something we never experienced somewhere else and really makes you feel welcome arriving and is a great start of our holiday.
The surrounding area is pretty quiet and relaxing, but in 20 minutes you can be at the northern beaches and some small villages like brolo or a bit further capo d'orlando and cefalu. It also has some very nice mountain roads nearby which are great to drive (if you like to do so).. Especially the road to randazzo (or further to the etna) is great to drive, with nice views, landscapes, bumpy roads with occasional cows on it, and no other cars at all for miles.
To end our holiday Salvatore made us some great stoneoven pizza with vegetables from his own garden, I can recommend it :-)
So to conclude just a really nice place run by real friendly people. Definitely recommend if you like a place to relax in a natural environment.
