Zaria and her parents welcomed us with home made sweets and walnut liqueur (from the walnut trees in the garden). They showed us around the beautiful grounds, and let our children pick fresh strawberries for breakfast.

They were very helpful in advising us on places to eat and things to do. The residence itself is a destination not to be missed. The mountain air was fresh and cool, the panoramas of Etna and the sea were splendid, and the garden on the premises is peaceful.

The apartment is very comfortable (we are a family of 4 and had plenty of space) and very tastefully decorated. The facilities are modern and clean.

This is truly a place for artists looking for inspiration amongst nature and history (Sant'Alfio is a characteristic Sicilian town, with many amazing Etna stories).

I give Nake my highest recommendation.
