If you are looking for a place of beauty and peace, go there! The house, renovated with taste and class, sits on a wonderful garden of orange trees, and other tropical fruit trees. Flowers all around. The property was not easy to find at first (a quick call to Guendalina solved our little confusion) but what a reward when we arrived. On the spot we knew it was for us.
Sicily is hot in the summer, but air conditionning in the bedrooms, and an immense pool in the garden made it easy to cope with. The kids had plenty of room to play and run around. We will remember the wonderful evenings seated on the beautiful terrasse, in front of the smoking Etna, under a full moon... From the house we could reach easily all the spots we had on our list (Taormina, Etna, Aci Trezza, Syracuse), using the very functional highway (5min away). But surely the best part was the company of the owners, Guido and Guendalina, two wonderful persons who speak fluently french, english and italian. They were always prompt to help, weather for a tip, an item missing, a technical info on the hikes on Etna, etc. And yet very discrete at the same time. Our family has rented many times in the past (USA, Canada, France, Italy, Austria, and we consider that the quality of the service they offered ranks probably at the top of the list.
Merci encore, Grazie, Thank you !
