We loved to stay in Claudia's appartment, which was a lovely furnished old house with a big garden full of fruits. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was closed already but the small dog kept us company. The cooking supplies were quite limited in the outdoor kitchen. We didn't see the landlord, only the housekeeper Mohammed. He was really kind and wanted to help us with everything, however communicating was a bit difficult as he didn't speak English. There was not much to do in the town Mascalucia, but it was a nice base for trips to Catania, Etna or Taormina.
