As is made very clear in the description, the property is a few miles (10 mins by car) from the nearest town. Not exactly remote, but own transport is essential. The access road is narrow, hilly and winding but don't be put off by that. In many respects the location is perfect. Quiet,in a lofty position with panoramic views from the terrace, whilst close (by car) to shops, the Autostrada. The coast, and, of course, Etna are accessible within 30 - 40 mins drive. Rosy was a great host and met us on arrival. She was on time, we were late (Catania airport is a nightmare), and presented us with wine, prosecco, and fruit. Although Rosy and her husband are not on site, a neighbour looks after the property and will provide assistance -as they did for us on one occasion - and they were prompt and helpful. Again, I think it's obvious from the pictures that the internal style and furnishing of the property is rustic - don't expect all mod cons. There is no air conditioning, and it can get hot at nights - though no more uncomfortable than it has been in the UK in the past week!
Overall a very enjoyable holiday and a good stay. I would recommend
