The Amaryllis House is a wonderful opportunity to experience the warmth of the Sicilian sense of hospitality.
Host Mariateresa and her son Eugenio are truly genuine with their heartfelt sense of service and expression of kindness. You will find that they are both always prepared and ready to go beyond what is expected and will assist you in any way whatsoever.
Upon arrival, when I was unable to locate the rental location, Mariateresa met me at the nearby town of Mascalucia and from there guided me to the house with her vehicle.
Then, shortly after settling-in, Eugenio personally offered to take me to a grocery store open during the late Sunday evening hours which was actually a far distance away. Also, he made himself available as a well-informed guide, to the main attractions of Catania, the walking trails of Mt Etna, the cable car facility and the nearby seaside area.
As a guest, you will be well provided with a good supply of food substance for breakfast and an ample supply of fresh towels and linen.
The rental unit is a private apartment, with a private entrance and a furnished outdoor area with cooking facility. It is a clean spacious setting and aesthetically very pleasing.
Mairateresa, a professionally trained artist, has decorated the apartment with an artistic touch of simplicity. Also, her subtle paintings of depictions of nearby natural settings, hang on the walls for your enjoyment.
It is an excellent location if you are interested in a quiet refuge in close proximity to Mt Etna. From the back of the house, you will enjoy an inspirational view of the mountain top.
To fully experience the surrounding area, it is best to have a car for your convenience of travel.
A very happy and satisfied guest, from Canada.
