Alfio's house is like in a fairy tale, or like an enchanted castle. I do not exaggerate, on the third day I was still able to get lost in the house, as it is so big.
It is wonderful to get up in the morning and drink your coffee on the terrace, and look at the smoking Etna. Not to forget: super Lavazza coffee is included in the booking. :-) As many other things for the comfort of the guests, really you have everything you need and don't need. The kitchen in the basement, fully equipped, I forgot to ask but it should have been a restaurant in the old days, so many plates, knives, dinner sets, glasses... More than anyone have at home, I bet.
It would be nice to renovate the common bathroom as it is old fashioned, but no doubt it was big and clean. The other toilets are already renovated and very nice.
The living room is very nice and comfortable, such as the bedrooms and the beds.
It was a bit musty smell on the top floor in the bedroom, I guess from the wardrobe, I suggest to treat it somehow.
Really good that the house has a garden, and you can park inside, very safe.
The neighborhood is quiet, Santa Venerina is a nice small village.
Alfio is a very nice person, fantastic host, attentive, taking care of his guests, even before our travel I felt like visiting a friend and it did not change. The communication was perfect from the very first moment. He is helpful, flexible and really kind. We arrived late in the evening, after the check-in hours after 11 pm, but it was not a problem for him at all. We used google translate to understand each other, it was funny. :-)
I really hope to come back one day to this wonderful place. Thanks for the warm welcome and nice days.
