Giovanni, Claudia and their son, Gabriele, were such great hosts. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and found the house to be just as beautiful as the photos. The pool and gardens are gorgeous with beautiful views over the city of Catania and the sea. A perfect place to relax after a day of visiting the lovely cities and towns in the area and a hike on Mount Etna. The large kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for our large family group and we were able to prepare great meals with all the appliances you could hope for and bbq. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and comfortable. Just note a few spaces with low ceilings upstairs for those above average height. One of our family became ill and our hosts were very helpful in arranging a doctor quickly very close by. They even made a special trip to find an open pharmacy and would not accept payment for the ointment we needed. Because of the complication of a sick family member I suspect that we were more needy guests than most, but Giovanni, Claudia and Gabriele made every effort to adjust to our needs including a special check out. We couldn’t have asked for more. The location is excellent for exploring the Central Eastern coastal region of Sicily with easy access by car and good proximity to Catania airport. All round an excellent stay.
