I stayed here for about 5 weeks in the winter/early spring season, and even then, it was gorgeous. First of all, the communication was excellent - even if you don't speak Italian, Maria will do anything she can to help you. She's very, very kind. The place itself is really comfortable and has everything you need, and I especially loved the kitchen. I can imagine that in the summer, with the pool, this place is a dream. Very quiet surroundings, with Etna right there in the background. Big cities are just a drive away (30-60 minutes). There is also a number of little shops and restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend this place at any time, and probably the most in the summer!
