The house is nice and pretty, so is the view of Etna which is very beautiful from the bedroom. However in winter time the place is a bit cold even though they provide with heater. House also lacked kitchen basic utensils and amenities - such as knife, sugar,coffee and olive oil. The host did offer to make coffee though. The neighbours dogs are VERY loud at night and they bark all the time.
Also the area is not the best- lot of traffic around, house is on the hill, walking to any nearby place is challenging. Also there’s no private parking available- it’s on the street.
However, the host are very nice and they own a restaurant downstairs and the food is amazzzzzingggg there and hospitality is great. They made this special vegan pasta for me (totally recommending it!) They’re really polite.
Overall, the stay was good despite of things listed above and for car travelers it will work out great as a spot to explore Eastern part of an Island. Taormina, Syracuse, Catania- all in less than hour
of driving.
