The house was like the pictures: large grounds, numerous rooms and quite spacious indoor and outdoor dining facilities. As a group of two families, we appreciated the four bedrooms and two bathrooms. We didn't use the pool, given that we visited in August, but there was so mich to do and see that it was okay. And a good reason to visit again in summer?
As a host, Salvo was very responsive and really took care of us! He was kind enough to allow us to amend our reservation last minute due to a transport strike. From check-in to restaurant recommendations, to showing us around the area personally and to even booking a unique experience where we learned how to make pizza, in the house, firsthand!
The house's location is handy for drives into Giarre, Catania and Taormina. It was also a short drive to hiking spots to explore Mt
Etna. Through Salvo's recommendations we had a taste of Sicily, from getting wine straight from a vineyard to which restaurant had the best fixed menus!
