Our family of four, including two adult daughters, had a great stay at Tiziana's place for a week. It is a small house in a large private estate about 100m down hill to a small rocky beach. There is also a slightly larger beach a little further round on the estate. The house has a parking space for a small car within the compound or on the street outside. It has a lovely big terrace on the lower floor that goes round two sides of the house with a couple of tables and plenty of chairs. From one end of the terrace you can see Etna. The other end provides a private space to sit round next to an outdoor kitchen and shower (there is also a kitchen and shower indoors) which is lovely in the evenings. There is also a barbecue.
The living room and small kitchen are on the ground lower floor with a narrow spiral staircase up to the two double bedrooms with air-conditioning and one narrow single room which doesn't have AC. There is a toilet and shower/washroom upstairs and toilet and sink downstairs. The house is really clean with all the necessaries for a comfortable stay.
The house is part of a large private estate with many houses and apartments overlooking the sea and surrounding area. It is very quiet and relaxing but the estate is a km away from entrance gate (Tiziana provides an electronic key for 24 hr access) and a further 4km to the nearest shops and bars in Brucoli, so it is essential to have a car. Brucoli is lovely village with some great places to eat and swim. The supermarket is a little further away on outskirts of Augusta.
We had a great week here exploring the coast down past Siracusa as well as over to Agrigento (a long drive) and to Ragusa. Catania is about half an hour away so you can also head north. Tiziana's place is exceptionally good value and the terrace is a delight.
