We've spend a great time at Stefano's place and would definitely recommend it! It's a cozy two-floor house with a nice interior and unconventional planning, we liked it very much. The garden is big and is perfect for breakfasts or dinners (there's a covered place with table/chairs outside and a small grill), which is especially valuable when you travel with kids - for them there's even a swing in the garden. There's also a swimming pool, but unfortunately the weather was not warm enough to try it out. Stefano is a welcoming and very helpful host, he greeted us with a bottle of wine and gave quite some useful tips about the area. In terms of groceries - there's a big shopping mall in ~5-10 minutes driving, and if you prefer local stores - there're some in the village center in about the same distance. The car is certainly a must to explore the region - there're a lot of nice places that could be reached in 30 minutes, and even the big cities like Syracuse are only 1 hour of drive.
