The best experience we have had in over 100 places in Europe: unique atmosphere in a stone house all for yourself American natives style with so many beautiful touches, outside: a well, barbecue, beautiful terrace, huge garden, great pool overlooking the sea in an absolute tranquil surroundings of orchards and vines and jungle :) Attention to detail, excellent bed and facilities, great host - Andrea; 30 mins drive to Etna or Taormina or the excellent beach of San Marco; and not to forget the fresh eggs you sneak in the morning from the hens or the cherries you pick :)))
