Our (extended) family of 9 had a wonderful week in Paul's spacious, elegant, charming and squeaky clean house and garden. Highlights were the complimentary cooking class, spending languid afternoons by the pool, listening to the Etna's rumbling and hiking around it's nature reserve, and of course visiting the fantastic cultural sites up and down the Island's East Coast, from Taormina to Siracusa. Paul was a most gracious host and all the pragmatics worked without a hitch. If you want to relax in truly Italian style, cook meals in a wonderfully equipped kitchen, eat outside in a shady terrace yet be close enough for many interesting day trips, this is your place!
