If you are looking for an escape, this is just what the doctor ordered. And, amazing value. Granted, the cottage is humble, but that’s part of the experience. The grounds set amongst olive trees and horse ranch with views of Etna above and landscape below were beautiful. The woodfired stove is a rustic touch and encourages you to put your electronics down and enjoy some analog activities with the family. The best part, however, was the trail ride with Orazio’s beautiful horses the next morning. An unforgettable experience for my family.
