If you want to stay in an authentic Sicilian countryside house, with lots of beautiful nature stretching out on all sides, this is it. We were a group of 6 and had such a perfect time - space for everyone, many different communal areas to sit and drink, great cooking facilities (use the grill on the terrace!) and just so amazingly quiet. You can swim in the pool while looking up at Etna smoking; what more do you want?! The town of Zafferana Etnea down the road has all the shops you may need. People say to get a car to explore the area, but we just took taxis the whole time and that also worked out fine (the walk back uphill from Zafferana will make you sweat though!!) Lots of beaches and great places to visit nearby. Check-in was easy and Chiara responded to any questions we had, and the place was nicely clean and well prepared when we arrived. We all agreed at the end we could've definitely stayed for longer! Highly recommend this for a group getaway.
