Where do I even start? My stay with Salvo was absolutely what I needed in all ways - absolute perfection. Restful, rejuvenating, and nourishing. Hands down best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had!
For starters, you will feel right at home in this quiet countryside sanctuary. The space is clearly created by artist’s hands and decorated with a designer’s touch. It has literally everything you need - even a couple yoga mats to enjoy sunrise meditation/yoga on the incredible 180 degree view terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped, clean, and stylish — even has a window that perfectly frames the smoking Etna in behind the home. I was greeted with a beautiful bottle of red wine, olive oil from his olives on Etna and a generous bowl of juicy and ripe fruit. You can even walk down to the beach and enjoy an almost private (usually only a few people there as well) beach! If you have a car it’s a ideal place to enjoy a tranquil nights sleep (zero sound! Such a relief after a couple nights in Catania) and easily drive to Etna, Catania or Taormina / Alcantara and more. I personally do not have a car but that was not a problem during my stay - all thanks to literally the most incredible and pure-hearted host, Salvo! He saved the day and made sure I felt completely taken care of..not only did he pick me up from the train station and bring me to the market and to try delicious local food, he surprised me everyday with some yummy treat or his home cooked meal ❤️☺️ he included me with his friends to have a lovely dinner party and on a Sunday adventure to the mountains — he poured his heart out and taught me so much about true Sicilian hospitality. I could go on and on about the long list of endless generosity he showed me but I may run out of room ;) if you are thinking about staying with Salvo during your trip, please do not miss out on this truest magical experience and go ahead and book! 100% recommend. You could not land in better company here. Grazie Mille Salvo! Until next time🙏
