We loved our stay here. We had a bit of a hard time finding it, since it's on a private road, but that was Tom Tom's fault not the Pirrello's. Speaking of the family, they couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. Simone (Giusi's daughter) speaks English well and she bridged the gap nicely with our so-so Italian. :o)

They met us when we arrived and we had a nice chat and they gave us some fruit that they grow right on their property. Each morning they had a lovely breakfast for us with freshly-squeezed juice - from their yard, of course!

They gave us some great ideas of places to go and things to see around Etna, Taormina & Catania and we were actually sad when we had to leave them. The apartment was big and clean and big enough for a family of 4 (one room had bunk beds - but one of those has the best view of the Volcano in the whole house!

It was close enough to lots of beautiful places to see but not in a big city so it was very quiet. When we come back to Sicily (and we will), we'll stay here again. The price was great and so was the experience.
