We loved our stay. The property was quiet, peaceful and secure with a large garden area and a feeling of spaciousness in the house itself. On a clear day, you could see the top of Mt Etna from the garden.
We used the swimming pool a few times and played in the garden with our two young children - the green surroundings were perfect after days of sightseeing.
The bottle of wine and chocolate cake as welcome gifts were delicious and greatly appreciated.
A car is a must. This is a great base for hitting up places around Etna, Catania, the north east of Sicily (Taormina) as well as more central places (we drove to Villa Romana del Castle in 1.5 hrs), and is perfect for families
