I felt like I could have been in a Room with a View - The gentle sunshine, the old house hidden in lemon trees, stone floors, views of Etna, family dinners. The family that runs the place are grandchildren of the owner. A friendly dog, Lily, is the official greeter. Everything is clean, rustic, the food is good and you feel very at home. Everywhere you look is a picture. We slept well. It is not far out in the country at all, but it feels very far away. A great place. We ate breakfast and dinner. One night we had the pasta the “class” had made that afternoon.

Beautiful property, great location to Etna, wineries and Taormina.

They are really making an effort to cater to folks wanting a quiet space to relax and enjoy the region. It is a working farm, but the fresh food in the morning is a joy. They also do a set dinner if there are enough guests and it some good honest cooking from the staff and the menu varies daily. Friday and Saturday can be an issue as there is a banquet venue on a neighboring property that can get rather loud, the party house behind the small suites at least try to give warning and control their behaviour. But it's an ideal spot to centre your travels around Catania and the east coast and allows you to relax and destress after a hard day exploring the region.

The pictures significantly misrepresented the accommodation. The living and sleeping areas lacked any separation, and the bathroom was basic. Unfortunately, there were also issues with hot water, forcing me to shower in cold water. Most disappointingly, the pool, a major reason for choosing this place, was unusable due to dirt and cold water. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations.
