During our travel through Sicily we experienced a warm and generous reception anywhere we went. However, Carmelo stands out as an exceptional host. Regardless of his busy schedule, he took great care of us. From the first night when he drove to the town to meet us to show how to get to the house, to greeting us with a bottle of local wine, bread, his own olive oil and a bowl of mushrooms upon arrival to enjoy you first dinner, to generously sharing meals during our stay he made our short vacation truly special. His hospitality and unassuming generosity made us feel like we were staying with a caring friend.

The house is a perfect base to explore Etna and the whole eastern Sicily. The northern entrance to Etna is just 15min drive away. An easy ride through the picturesque landscape let you enjoy many places around.

The house is divided into two independent sections. Separate entrances ensure your privacy. The kitchen is well-equipped, so you can easily cook your meals. The enormous terrace calls for spending lazy time there with a glass of local wine.

I am already looking forward for our next trip to Sicily so we can stay in this beautiful place again.
