Giuseppe did his very best to provide us (2 adults and 1 young boy) with a very good experience. He continuously gave very useful tips on where to go and what is recommended to do. This really helped us finding out a couple of nice things, like the Befana tradition which takes place in Sicily in the beginning of January.

The apartment is a nice small 1 bedroom house (not 2 like it says in the ad), but there the bench in the living room can be converted to a bed. The view from the small balcony is great and the location is also very nice. Motta Camastra is a nice small village, which is spectacularly located on top of a hill. There is a small grocery store just 50 meters from the house and there are some other small stores in town as well as a pharmacy. In addition, there is a bar with an English speaking owner (Bar del Corso). There are no restaurants in the village. For this, it is necessary to go to Francavilla (¬5 km), Gaggi (¬10km) or to one of the great towns in the area (Toarmina, Catania). which have plenty of fantastic, affordable restaurants. There are some other restaurants scatted throughout the area, but we like to have early dinner (6:30/7 pm) with our little boy and they tend to be only open from 8 or 9 pm (at least in low season).

A car is highly, highly recommended if you would like to stay in this house. It is an interesting drive to the parking lot due to the narrow streets and a nearly impossible turn (you'll find out ;), but Giuseppe did his best to help wherever necessary.

Overall, we had a great trip in this part of Sicily and we would highly recommend it and are considering coming back some time.
