The house is really something -- a beautiful setting with a view of Etna and down to Catania in the distance.

The house is well-equipped with a great set of kitchen utensils, pans etc.

The garden is really impressive; a lovely place to sit in day or night. The pool is a great size and very clean.

You should be aware that whilst the pool is yours for the stay, Eleonara's parents (?) might be in the house at the opposite end of the garden, and will often be outside cleaning or whatever. For us this meant we didn't feel able to use the pool in the same way as if we hadn't been overlooked -- putting music on for example -- incase we disturbed them. Just something to be aware of.

Ragalna has a lovely butchers, gelateria and veg-shop -- all within a 5 minute stroll.

We would love to stay again sometime.
