What can I say, one of the most enjoyable places i have ever booked with AirBnB. When arriving you feel you are entering your private kingdom and enter into a beautiful house with lots of history. Besides that there is a gorgeous garden with a lovely refreshing pool and all the things you need to relax.
The room itself is large and has all the things you need to feel yourself prince and princess while staying there. From the terrace on one side you overview the sea, on the other side you oversee mount Etna, which is very spectacular, especially during the evening.
Giuseppe and his wife take a lot of pride in ensuring your stay is comfortable and you can enjoy and relax. I would definitively recommend to take breakfast and dinner at the house (there is a small fee for that but very reasonable and price/quality much better than what you can find at the restaurants in the area).
Breakfast is served in the historic villa and has a buffet that many hotels would be jealous of, there is an abundance of food and the hosts take pride to provide every day something special as a treat.
We also took dinner at the house on 'our private terrace' with a view on the mountain. Food was excellent and typical Sicilian style and Giuseppe offered us excellent wines every evening from his cellar. You would never be able to get such a pick in any of the restaurants. We tried it the first evening and found it so good that we had dinner there every evening rather than bothering to go to find a restaurant in the area.
All in all, if you go to visit mount Etna, i definitively would recommend that you book this place. You will find it so enjoyable and relaxing that you don't even bother too much too explore the area but rather will prefer to stay in your little kingdom.
