Our stay at Zaira's was wonderful. The bedroom was airy and comfy and the bathroom was clean and functional. The living/dining/kitchen was small but well kitted out but as we spent most of our time on the balcony and discovering sicily and its restaurants we didnt really use it. The garden is shared with Zaira's second apartment but large with patio areas, fruit trees and lots of peace and quiet. The grounds were beautifully kept and as we visited at cherry season we were allowed to pick the best cherrys we have ever eaten from the trees! The views from the house are also all stunning with etna on one side and the sea on the other.
It is less than an hour from Catania, Taormina and Etna with good places to eat nearby and a couple of great winery's to taste the local wine within a 30 minutes drive.
Zaira was a perfect host and was so so welcoming. She gave us some great recommendations as well as being on hand to help with booking restaurants etc. The homemade chocolates and wine were also delicious. Thank you so much Zaira!
