We have been staying at the house of Carmela, Vito and Nino in the beginning of May for about 11 days together with our 3 children (under ten). The family was very friendly and we felt welcome at their place. Nino provided us with some great advice on places to visit. We really enjoyed our Sicilian salad - a special recipe of the family- in the mornings in the out door kitchen/terrace. The house is situated in the midst of the buzz of Acireale, a great starting point to explore the area. The large and quiet garden was enclosed and our children could run around freely. They really liked playing there and were particularly fond of the turtles living in the garden. We have had a wonderful time.
