We spent a wonderful two nights with Giuseppe and Alvera. The accommodation is a grand Sicilian villa that has been in the family for generations. Our hosts were welcoming and hospitable. They served up delicious breakfasts, and delivered an authentic cooking experience with dinner on the terrace in the shadow of Mt Etna. The kids loved the swimming pool, which was perfect for us; long enough to swim in, but narrow enough that the kids could easily swim to the sides. The bedrooms were enormous, and renting both meant that we effectively had our own apartment. The house us a short walk from a small town, where you can find a pizzeria and a café serving snacks (including delicious arancini) and deserts, as well as a variety of flavours of gelato. The short (less than 5 mins) walk is on the road without a pavement, so care is needed, especially with small children. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to Giuseppe and Alvera's beautiful home, and would definitely return if we were in Sicily again.
