Our stay at Villa Pioppi has exceeded our expectations. The house is very nice; a proper bed, good bathroom, lovely kitchen with everything and more you need and a magnificent terrace with a nice view. The pool is great and clean. The house is isolated enough to feel completely alone, with the pool nearby.
The location is very good if you want to get away from the touristy coast between Catania and Messina. The small villages in the neighbourhoud surrounding the Etna are quite and nice, there are some wineries in the vicinity and the views are spectacular.
The biggest treat of the stay were Oratio, Loredana and Andrea (and the neighbours and family). We felt so welcome and could always disturb them for good tips, fresh vegetables, a chat and good recipies. We loved the contact with them! So both the location, the house itself and the hosts makes us want to come back for sure! Cannot recommend this place enough!
