Considering our stay was just a couple of days after the earthquake that hit Catania , we were really anxious about staying so close to the Etna . Vittorio was very kind and reassuring and we felt confident enough to make the trip ..and it was sooo worth it !! The pics don’t do the place justice ...the views are to die for and the house itself is meticulously maintained with all conveniences . We enjoyed cooking in the great kitchen and the kids absolutely adored all the books and crannies in the property that they could run around in. Since it was winter , unfortunately we couldn’t make use of the pool . We are very tempted to come back in summer to use the pool and barbecue as well ! Overall a gorgeous place . Concetto was amazingly responsive and helped us out with whatever we needed ( extra water bottles , washing soap etc) . We also had a bunch of fruits and a bottle of wine to welcome us .
