The stay at Giovanni's place was amazing. The garden is beautiful and really relaxing. They also have a lovely kitchen in the garden, fully equipped, if you like cooking outdoors you will love it.
The hosts were extremely nice to us and helped us with everything we needed. Took us to the supermarket, helped with laundry, gave us breakfast on day 1...
We had an amazing time at their house.
A downside is the location, but the bus stop 534 stops 300m from the house, and the train station is less than 10 min walk. It's also possible to access the sea within 10-15 min walk (no beach, just cliffs). Another downside is that the walls are very thin and you can hear everything, but we did not mind. The house was clean, the bed very comfortable.
The highlight of our stay was definitely the garden, the views to Etna and sea, and the hospitality of Anna and Giovanni (mostly in Italian).
Thanks Giovanni and Anna for a lovely stay at your home.
