We had a really nice stay in one of the upper apartments. As it was not the main season (end of March) we had the house to ourselves for most of the time. The surroundings are mostly rural and quite, with views onto a lemon tree plantation and mount Etna. Expect the cars on the main street could be heard. In the morning and evening it was sometimes a little loud because the bedroom faces that side. Other then that, we liked the apartment. It feels cozy and has all the equipment you need to make some meals yourself. Our host Lorena made check-in and check-out really easy and provided us with great tips for restaurants. Thanks!
