We (family with 2 small children) stayed for 4 nights. We loved it! Communication was great on sms/email and the whole arrival process was very smooth. Unfortunately we did not meet Maria directly but Albert met us on arrival and made sure everything was ok. We were given beautiful blood oranges and avocados grown by Albert on arrival and throughout which were amazing. The house is lovely and perfect for a family. The garden is an incredible oasis in the village, allowing parents to enjoy the view and a glass of wine or two while the children explored the garden below. We went sledging at the base of Mt. Etna and had same great excursions around the area. The local shops and produce are wonderful, as well as the local wine.
