Rossana and her husband Valerio are great hosts. She was very proactive from the very start, suggesting cultural activities that were going to take place in the area during our stay. She also provided tons of information on what to do, and the house is well-equipped with guide books. The house is quiet, in a nice rural area very close to Mount Etna, as well as Catania and the sea. It is a cooler area to stay if you don't like the Sicilian heat! Rossana is a great cook. She prepared cakes and muffins for the abundant breakfast, we also tried some of her tasty homemade marmalade. We ate out in the garden, which was very relaxing. We also had dinner at her place one evening. It was delicious, very filling and great value! If you are looking to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Rossana's place is a great, cozy option, off the beaten route. And great value too! We hope to come back again in the future.
