We enjoyed our stay at Petra's place. The place was sparkling clean and was relatively well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the decor was nice and inviting. The views are excellent. It's a good base for trips to Etna and hiking throughout. Communication with Petra was great from the moment I booked the place to our departure.
Petra also runs a stable nearby and the kids enjoyed their horse riding adventure! There is a nice, inexpensive restaurant that offers great pizza 2 minutes away as well!
I guess the only downside was the fact that we had to pay 10 euros extra per day for heating-which we did as the evening was rather cool when we came back from a rainy day out. Apart from that it was really nice and I would recommend Petra's place to people with older kids and those looking for some serenity.
