We (my wife and I) stayed for two weeks at the beginning of September 2016. For a complete getaway-from-it-all this place is excellent. One gets total privacy, with a superb, big pool, but one is also very isolated. If you are happy with the isolation you can't go wrong. The house is very well equipped and Guisi and her husband were very welcoming. We also met Guisi's father, on a couple of occasions when he came to clean the pool, and her mother on departure.
Visiting in September we ran the risk of some bad weather and we did have a couple of days of torrential rain, thunder, lightening and cloud cover.
If you plan on travelling out to sightsee, as we did, you will need to allow plenty of time to get anywhere. Travelling on minor roads is very slow. You will get to know the motorways, with their tunnels and bridges, very well.
We particularly enjoyed a trip out to Vulcano and one to Etna.
We flew Norwegian between LGW and Catania. There is currently no online checkin for Norwegian flights leaving Catania, so we had to get to the airport in good time, which did. We arrived two hours before departure and spent every minute prior to boarding queuing for checkin, security and passport control; not an efficient airport!
We enjoyed a very relaxing and restorative holiday. Thank you, Guisi.
