Our stay in Nicolosi was fantastic. Sarah's communication was excellent both before and during our stay. She greeted us at the house with a basket of fresh fruit picked right on the property and gave us a tour of the house and spacious outdoor areas. The location is truly INCREDIBLE - on a hill above Nicolosi, fruit trees just below, views Catania & the water in one direction, Mount Etna in the other direction. We loved eating breakfast outside enjoying the beautiful views and fresh air. The house itself was built in the 50s and still has lots of decorations and furnishings from that era - perhaps a little dated for some tastes, but we liked it. The kitchen is spacious and stocked with lots of basics - spices, breakfast snacks, tomato puree, oil, etc. - so it was easy to cook meals there. Having only 1 shower was a little challenging for our group of 5 adults, but otherwise we had plenty of space to spread out, especially with all the outdoor space. The house is an easy 10 minute walk into town with plenty of restaurants, shops, etc. Mount Etna's tourist base (hiking trails, craters, lift partway up the mountain, more restaurants) is a 20 minute drive in the other direction. All in all, a fun and unique property in a spectacular and relaxing natural setting. We would gladly return and spend even more time in the future!
