We spent two wonderful weeks in Etna Mare. This was the second time we visited, so we knew very well what to expect and we were not disappointed. Serenas mother, Maria, was so loving and helpful and even though we do not speak Italian, communication was no problem. And Serena was only a phone call away when translation was needed. Maria was very kind to check up on us on a daily basis .. just to see if everything was ok .. and sometimes bringing as small gifts from the garden: Eggs, plums, zucchini. We have found our Sicilian paradise and hope to visit for a third time.
