My partner and I loved our stay at Francesco’s Country House.
The best thing about the house for us was the stunning view from the veranda. It’s incredible, photos do not do it justice. It’s certainly something I am already missing!
The house itself is spacious, well maintained and it had everything we needed. Again it’s definitely better in ‘real life’ than in photos! The position up mount Etna meant it got full sun but had a beautiful cooling breeze much of the time - perfect! The location was also great to explore the area around Etna.
Francesco is a fantastic host. He gave us a glut of the most beautiful tasting plums from his garden and he was always on call and ready to help us with anything.
For local amenities there are 2 restaurants within walking distance up the hill (about 5 mins walk) plus a few places in town (about 5 min drive)
I would highly recommend Francesco’s Country House if you are looking for a relaxing rural stay in Sicily.
