The spacious apartment is part of a wonderful, huge house belonging to an old vineyard which has been in Francesco's family for generations and has a fantastic sense of history. It has breathtaking views from the terrace and it still has the old cellar and vats, the vines and a super orchard and our very kind hosts left us huge amounts of cherries, peaches and apricots in the welcome pack. There are pleasant towns in close driving distance and a good selection of restaurants. On Etna are fantastic walks and the coast in the other direction.
Our hosts Elizabetta and Franco and their daughter Paola, who translated for us, are so kind, generous and nothing was too much trouble for them and they even organised a tour for us to Etna and a wine tasting lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. A five star hotel could do no better.
