Authentic retreat

Our hosts were super helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The property met our needs for a 10 day break. It is in a lovely quiet location within Etna parkland with a lovely view, especially in the evening when all the lights of Catania sparkle in the distance. We were able to pack in a number of different walks around Etna, a trip to the Aeolian Islands, a visit to Taormina, Syracuse and Noto, a visit to the Alcantara Gorge and some beach-time. We only used the pool at the house a handful of times but were grateful that it was there. Be warned that you need bottled water for drinking as the tap water is not recommended.

Il nostro soggiorno al antico casale è stata un esperienza oltre che positiva. La proprietà e molto confortevole e situata immersa nel verde, ai piedi del vulcano e a dir poco pittoresca. I proprietari si sono dimostrati di una squisitezza unica nei nostri riguardi, facendoci sentire a nostro agio per tutta la durata della nostra permanenza. Sicuramente una casa vacanze in cui soggiornare nei nostri prossimi viaggi in Sicilia.

We enjoyed our stay and the location is beautiful if not a bit remote but we knew that going in. I realize its a very old house but a few things definitely need updating. The mirror in the downstairs bathroom is basically useless old and fogged over. The kitchen pots and pans were pretty dirty we had to wash before we used it. Its in a beautiful place and owner is very nice and interesting just need a few TLC touches and a good cleaning.
