This was our favourite stay in Sicily. I toured in a rented car with my boyfriend and wanted to see Mt Etna. Adriana was very friendly on our arrival and gave us coffee, tea, sugar, milk, eggs from her chickens, tomatoes and fruit. There was oil and pasta in the kitchen for us to use. The flat is elegant airy and quiet. The bed is comfortable. Everything including the washing machine works.
When we first approached the village we were worried because we had not seen Sicilian fly tipping before and the dust from Mt Etna does make the houses look grey which is unusual in Sicily but Adriana's house is wonderful. As soon as you enter the gates you are aware of a close funny family who have carried on the tradition that they should live mainly on what they can grow in their large garden.
Adriana's family love to meet foreigners and her mother has a great love of food. She prepared Indian figs (prickly pears I think) for breakfast and we took up her offer of dinner with wine, €20 per head, which was the greatest fun.From the family's first floor balcony there is a wonderful view of the sunset and Mt Etna.
We stayed longer than we planned and did not want to leave. If you want to see the wonderful Mount Etna, don't hesitate, we loved these three incredibly warm hearted Sicilian women.
