Clear assets of this place include garden with swimming pool (highlight for the kids!), BBQ and a large picnic table. The short distance to the beach with sunbeds and umbrellas included in the rental agreement were very convenient. The view of Mount Etna from the balcony and from the beach was stunning. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful with organising different excursions and airport transfer. The house itself was functional but not necessarily charming.
There is an extra charge of 50 euro for a check-in after 8 pm - fortunately, we arrived earlier. You will also be expected to pay extra for exceeding a certain electricity allowance - we paid additional 55 euro for 9 days. Neither of these charges was explained in the Airbnb advertisement. Lots of tiny ants outside and inside the house although I understand that they might be difficult to manage.
This general region has a waste pollution and dumping problem. This has nothing to do with the property, but it has tainted my sense of enjoyment when exploring the broader area. The beach and the house were very clean though.
