Marcello is a great host, always available and with plenty of local tips (including tour guide for trekking in Etna and other areas nearby). The location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from the beach, and food for visiting other parts of Sicily (Noto, Siracusa, Ragusa for baroque. We stayed away 1 night for Agrigento/Valley of Temples). For washing up you need to use a kettle and vinegar as no hot water in kitchen - this is a local issue with the utilities suppliers. Air conditioning great in two bedrooms, but not elsewhere. Again local utility issues mean only 2 appliances can run at same time. Great to have washing machine (we brought too many clothes!). Excellent veranda for all meals. Very helpful having basic bathroom amenities available. Excellent baker on other side of road (2 mind walk) for fresh pistachio brioches in the morning!)
