I highly recommend a stay at Casa Motta Camastra, I stayed for 8 nights early September and had perfect weather with not a drop of rain. The house, gardens, private pool and views were amazing, the pictures do not do it justice. Situated part way up a mountain the house and especially the pool area is extremely private with no immediate neighbours, not overlooked in the slightest and just a handful of cars that pass a day. The beautiful views from the property are of Mt Etna & the Alcantara Valley, Motta Camastra a precarious mountain top village is just a short drive or walk down from you yet you can forget the rest of world exists in this mountain retreat. The wifi was surprisingly good and outside the house I had 5G everywhere which I wasn't expecting given the location. Jaco & Jacqueline and the local lad Samuel who looks after the property are great hosts and provide you with all the information you could need for your stay.
