Salvatore's country cottage is spacious, well-equipped and has a pleasant atmosphere. The surrounding landscape is most beautiful and there is a view of Etna from the back of the cottage. We arrived to find fresh bread on the table and could use whatever we found in the kitchen. We were warned by our host that the end of July would be very hot, and indeed it was! From mid-morning to late afternoon, the heat at the cottage was oppressive without a place to find refuge. In weather like this it is best to find a cafe in one of the picturesque surrounding towns and drink cold drinks in the shade for the afternoon. In the evening however, it is pleasant to sit outside the cottage and look at the stars. A well supplies the cottage with water, which has quite a strong smell (apparently due to the heat).
It would probably make the most sense to visit this place in the cooler months, when one could properly appreciate the charms of this cottage and its surroundings.
