Lovely setting on a farm growing oranges, mangoes, avocados etc. The byre or barn feels very authentic and rustic in a very good way. Very comfortable.
It is close to a beach- easily walkable- with no beach umbrellas which we saw as a huge plus (it is a stony beach), and it is good for snorkelling. Astonishing views of Mount Etna. We hired a car, which was useful, and the location is great not only for Etna, but also Taormina and Acireale. Only a couple of kilometres from the autostrada to Catania, Syracuse and Messina.
Alessandra very friendly and helpful- and showed us how to make proper pesto! Amir also friendly. Some cuddly cats also called in regularly. Would highly recommend.
