We spent two amazing weeks at "the Kiwi's bower" and enjoyed every minute of it. The apertment was exactly as expected, situated in a lush, green garden with a spectacular view over the valley to one side and Etna to the other. Amelio was the perfect host: Helpful and friendly, and although his english was not perfect (it is much better than our Italian, we have to admit), communicating was no problem at all. Amelio presented us with eggs from his chicken, and we bought several bottles of his quality oil. We can wholeheartedly recommend Etna Mare to anyone looking for a peaceful place to spend the holiday, and we will definitely try to come back.
