We spent a week at Paola's lovely home, and what a week it was!
The apartment was clean, beautiful and welcoming, it was easy to enjoy our stay. The place worked fine as our base when visiting Sicily, but we opted to spend some time just relaxing at the beautiful terrace, admiring Etna. (Note: star-gazing certainly recommended even if there's a bit too much light for it.)
The lovely, nearby village of Brucoli was the hostess's recommendation for restaurants - it would certainly be our recommendation as well.
Everything worked fine with our hosts; when necessary, we got prompt replies. Not that we needed help all that much since everything was explained so well at the check-in.
Thank you again, Paola!
