BEST AIRBNB WE HAVE EVER STAYED IN!
First thing to say is that you have use of the whole house - it’s YOUR parking place outside, YOUR front door, YOUR first floor living area with balcony across the length of it and YOUR second floor terrace, with views onto the sea at the front and Mount Etna from the back of it. And a BBQ 😊
Aircon works well and is quiet, both bathrooms have excellent showers, the bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped: huge fridge-freezer with ice maker, coffee machine (we were given pods and milk for it), toaster, kettle, juicer, dishwasher & washing machine.
The whole house was immaculate - spotlessly clean without being too clinical, a very welcoming home.
Sky TV ensured that after a meal out we could chill on one of the 3 sofas and watch a choice of films.
Rossella and her husband were at the house to show us around when we arrived, they left us chilled water and a bottle of cold Lemoncello, then answered any questions we had, on text or WhatsApp, very quickly.
The sea is 10 metres from your front door and the little inlet of sea opposite the house is perfect for a swim (the sea was fabulously warm, in mid-October) and the rocks that lead into the sea is where people sunbathe and dive into the water.
We went to sleep and woke up to the sound of the sea - we closed the shutters but kept the doors open. And we got up one morning at 6.30 and watched the local fishing boats just before the sun rose over the horizon: it was all truly magical.....special memories!
There are however a few negatives:
1. You might see less of this beautiful island than you expected to, because you won’t want to leave this beautiful home
2. You won’t have booked for long enough.
3. You’ll have to leave at some point!
Truly wonderful, thank you so much, Rossella!
