The hosts were excellent. We arrived later than planned and they were happy to stay on to welcome us. The apartment was perfect and the pool was an excellent facility for our two young kids. The surrounding area is beautiful with constant view of Etna. Santa Tecla is an authentic, local, Sicilian village with good basic a shops for supplies and some excellent restaurants. Throughout our holiday, every made us feel so welcome. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. It was our first time to Sicily and we will be returning!
