Giulia’s house is really charming and beautiful. We were there in summer so didn’t really use the downstairs much - it’s more of a cosy winter space.
We found ourselves outside most of the time, the pool is amazing! The outdoor kitchen is a nice addition, we used that most of the time as the upstairs kitchen is quite small.
The beds are not the most comfortable, especially the 2 main bedrooms. The bunk beds are also in thoroughfares so you need to walk through them to get to each end of the house.
Riposto is a really cute little town which you can walk to in about 10 minutes, there’s lots of cafes, restaurants and a few bars. Also check out the local fish markets :)
Overall it was a really nice stay, we were a large group so just enjoyed cooking outside, drinking wine around the big outdoor table and swimming in the pool! We also climbed mount etna and went into Catania a few times which was great.
