My family enjoyed a fabulous stay at Enzo’s “Tiny House”, spending 10 days exploring the east coast of Sicily. Enzo and Emilia were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them. They were always available when we had any questions and they gave us the freedom to use his superb swimming pool, terrace and garden with fantastic views of Mount Etna.
The compact accommodation was filled with rustic charm and perfect for our family. The ladder to the upstairs added a sense of fun and adventure. The modern comforts of wi-fi and air-conditioning worked perfectly. The private outside courtyard was ideal for eating, drinking or just enjoying the sunshine. It was also very practical for hanging out towels and bathing costumes to dry in the Sicilian sunshine.
Enzo’s place is less than 30 mins drive from Catania airport and situated just 5 mins drive from the towns of Carlentini / Lentini. It is situated at the top of a windy hill, hence the wonderful views. It is a good base for exploring must-see places such as Catania, Syracuse, Ortigia, Taormina, Mt Etna, Noto and Etnaland (water-park); all of which are within 30 – 80 mins drive away, courtesy of the easy access to the motorway.
Highlights for us were the freshly squeezed Sicilian orange juice, the best pizzas we have probably tasted (we recommend: La Fata and Strapizzami), arancini, granita and brioche ………….and of course Enzo’s generous hospitality, that pool and that view!
