Our host, Marco, was very attentive, taking the time to meet with us shortly after we arrived and give advice on local places, as well as places to visit. He was always prompt with responses to messages from us, even before we went to Sicily. Everything in the property was to a high standard - spacious, modern and comfortable. The pool is amazing and of a good size (pool hats and towels are provided). Although there was a family in the adjacent apartment, we pretty much had the pool to ourselves which was definitely a bonus.
We would recommend having a car at your disposal as, even though there is a good supermarket in the village close by, you would have to navigate a main road and pavements are non-existent for a lot of it. This property is accessed through a private track and is therefore lovely and quiet and well-maintained, as is the garden and pool area. However, the main road is at the end of the track and so plenty of other places are easily accessed, too. Catania was further away than we thought it would be before going over but, on the other hand, you are in the foothills of Mount Etna so everything Etna-related is very close to hand. Take a look around the corner of the property in the car park - we were surprised at the view of majestic Etna! We really enjoyed our week-long stay and would definitely recommend this property.
