Thank you very much! That is the first thing to say! This little but super cosy house and it's location comes close to paradise! Surrounded by organic orange, lemon and mango trees the house and it's terrace overlooks the sea. If you turn around you have a stunning view towards the volcano Etna. The property is really big. You can walk down to the sea to take a swim (I went swimming in November, which was absolutely fine and refreshing, but not cold - I suggest to get some swimming shoes since it is a pebble beach, with perfect clear water). Or you go through the plantation and watch the lemons grow. You'll pass by a lot of olive trees and suddenly you even pass by some banana plants. I personally picked fresh organic oranges every morning and we had fresh juice for breakfast. The house is super clean and has a tasteful interior, the kitchen has all the necessities, and a perfect stylish and clean bathroom. The pictures are absolutely accurate. The view from the terrace is even better - I won't forget that. We had the pleasure to meet Alessandra for a few days, a very nice host! She invited us to an Sicilian lunch and gave us one of the best olive oils! The upfront communication with her was fast and easy. It was really nice to meet her there, and to hear all the stories about the history of the property and the Etna. On the property lives Sebastiano too. He is the one who keeps an eye on everything when Alessandra is not around. He is such a great and absolutely helpful guy! He gave us such a warm welcome, showed us around and gave us a countless recommendations what to do and where to go (or where to buy the freshest ricotta cheese - which was made in the morning on that day). Thank you very much for that! You'll find a few small shops in the village which provides you with fresh bread, fruits and vegetables, cheese and meat (and basically all the daily needs). A big supermarket is 10 minutes away by car. The house is the perfect home base to explore the east of Sicily. The Catania Airport is 30-40 minutes away by car, to go up on Etna you'll only need 45 minutes. The beautiful Taormina is 25 minutes away and even Syracuse is just under one hour away. I can absolutely recommend Alessandra's place! The house, her as a host, Sebastiano and the surrounding are just a perfect match! This was our first vaccination with our baby. And they provided us with a proper wooden baby bed and we could have asked for baby chair as well, if only the baby could sit already. We couldn't have asked for a better location to spend our first get away as a new family. But the house can be the perfect romantic get away for couples too. I am pretty sure...
