This is a perfect house for a big family. We stayed at the house with 10 persons ( 5 kids) and it was a great joy: Lot of space, private pool, game room, many bathrooms. View over a valley and the see. You can relax on a balcony or the terrace while kids are swimming and playing. The house is up 30 min driving from the autostrade and the coast. But your are directly on the road to the Etna. End of april it was sometimes a but chilly, the house is in the hills, but there are nice fireplaces that heats up the house quicly and atmospheric (there is also central heating). Many bathrooms makes it easy for such a big family to prepair for the day in time and making trips in the eastside of sicilie. Kitchen is big and has everything from dishwasher to oven(s). Nice pizzaoven and grill outside we used these a lot !.
