The house is nestled in a wooded area on the slopes of Mt. Etna: pine, chestnut, and oak trees surround this modern and comfortable home, secluded on a private gated lane. We were 5 adults and the house is well suited for a party of this size. Beds are comfortable, showers are nice, kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals and baking. It was winter when we were there so couldn't make extensive use of the outdoor space but there is a nice patio area that gets sun in the morning and we were lucky enough to have a few days where we could sit and eat outside. The check-in and check-out process were super smooth, and communication with the hosts was rapid and easy. The house is about a 10 minute drive from the towns of Pedara, Trecastagni, and Nicolosi, which all offer a good amount of restaurants and shops. In 30 minutes you can be in central Catania or at the seaside, give or take 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. We would definitely stay here again!
