If you're looing for something that's off the beaten track then this is it. The house is just amazing and we were wowed on arrival. The views of Mount Etna on one side and the sea on the other are breath-taking and having our breakfast or dinner on the veranda made the holiday. The gardens are immaculate and when we arrived the flowers and lemon trees were in full bloom. We were a party of 7 adults and one infant aged 7 months. The facilities for the infant were great - a lovely cot and high chair really helped. Would have been nice to have had a baby bath and a few baby facilities by the pool but not a big problem as we improvised. We were met by Vera and partner just off the motorway and they showed us the local facilities before taking us to the house. They were very helpful throughout the holiday. The house was lovely and very clean and it was great to have on suite bathrooms for each bedroom. It's got very modern facilities but it's managed to retain a rustic charm which we loved. The three bedrooms on the first floor were a very good size but the fourth in the attic was a little dark and cramped and probably best suited for young children rather than two adults. But that was just a minor thing and my son managed very well in it. On arrival there were some nice touches. They'd stocked the fridge with the essentials like milk, bread, cheese pasta etc and also some beers - which went down very well after our journey. We took advantage of the housekeepers providing meals on the first two days. The food was good but I think a little on the pricy side for what you get. The gardens to the house really are fantastic. We had exclusive use of the pool and the jacuzzi and it really made the holiday. I'd recommend a hire car if you're thinking of staying here as the facilities aren't easy to get to by foot. This really is an amazing house and despite having two rainy days the location, the pool and the facilities really helped make this an a great family holiday for us. I would happily come back again and again!
