This was truly one of my most memorable Air BnB stays. Mela and her family were such amazing people. So welcoming and genuinely caring and truly made me feel like part of their family.

The apartment is absolutely spotlessly clean and newly renovated, the towels even smelled beautiful from washing softner, like my mum had washed them! The room was great, big bed, tv, air con, fridge, wifi, desk and an amazing balcony with a view up the mountain to Castiglione di Sicilia and Mt. Etna.

Francavilla is a lovely town, close to do day trips to Etna and other small villages and has an amazing hike that you can reach within 5-10minutes walk from the apartment. The Intercity bus stops pretty much within 30metres from the house and I took a day trip to Castiglione and got there within 15minutes. I however missed the last bus back, but Mela and Giovanni were so kind and came and got me. Can also get to and from Taormina with the bus easily.

I feel like I have known the family forever and hope to make it back to visit again one day.

Thank you Mela and Giovanni for such a wonderful time at your house, I am so happy to have met you both and thank you for your kindness and hospitality.
