We spent the first 2 nights of 2014 in this wonderful annex to Cristina and Angelo's home. We really enjoyed the look and feel of Angelo's innovative eco-architecture and Cristina's wonderful eye for details which are everywhere (splashes of bright colour, simple but innovatively designed wooden furniture, ethnic and antique textile pieces on the walls) against a very simple and fresh white washed background. The couple's love of nature and working with their hands is evident in every detail of the house and the stay. It is ideally positioned for walking in Etna and is in close proximity (via car) to some jaw dropping hill-top medieval villages which must not be missed. The place is beautifully clean and the room very comfortable and warm even in the deep of winter. We woke up to staggering views of snow capped Mount Etna and enjoyed Cristina's delicious homemade jams in the mornings before heading out up to the volcano. As other posts have mentioned, there is the possibility of eating with Angelo and Cristina and we would highly recommend this too. Delicious homecooked food using ingredients from the farm was a real treat and welcome antidote to much of the stodgy restaurant food we had eaten thus far on our trip. I can't recommend this place highly enough, it was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you Angelo and Cristina!
