I chose this airbnb based on reviews I read, and hoped that they were accurate. They were spot on. Andrea and Samuela were not only wonderful hosts, but all around beautiful people. They cared about us, were there to answer any questions we had, to make recommendations, etc.Samuela took time out of her day to take us to Catania to experience the market. Andrea as a tour guide was amazing. We did one excursion up Mt. Etna off the beaten track which was an adventure we will treasure forever, and we also spent an afternoon at the Alcantara Gorge. He is knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely loves what he does and tries to make the experience the best he can for his guests. I would highly recommend this location as a place to stay if you want to avoid the tourist traps, but also be close enough to them if you want to visit. Take advantage of their warm hospitality. You won't regret it!!
