Heerlijke plek om je lekker terug te trekken, maar toch voldoende bezienswaardigheden in de buurt.
Pros:

Het was heerlijk rustig, schoon en mooi.

Cons:

Zwembadwater was helaas te koud om lekker te kunnen zwemmen. En de ligbedden vond ik persoonlijk niet comfortabel.

Pros:

I would like to thank Monica for providing all the necessities for my baby, including a highchair and a baby cot. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. It was also reassuring to have parking available on the premises, which was very important for us. We truly enjoyed our stay at Monica’s place and will definitely visit again when we return to Sicily.

Cons:

Everything was great — the only minor issue was the phone reception, but apart from that, everything was perfect.

Die schönste Unterkunft!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war einfach wundervoll!
Monica ist eine unglaublich herzliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin – stets hilfsbereit, immer erreichbar und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Alles war absolut sauber und bestens ausgestattet. Die Lage ist perfekt: Etna, Acireale, Taormina und Catania sind schnell erreichbar, nach Messina und Syrakus fährt man etwa eine Stunde. Der Pool war fantastisch, die Anlage wunderschön gepflegt und der Garten ein echtes Highlight.
Für uns die schönste Unterkunft, in der wir je waren – vor allem wegen der Sauberkeit, der Ausstattung und der Gastfreundschaft. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

Pros:

First, the grounds were beautifully manicured and designed! Our daughters spent loads of time sitting in the garden just soaking in the peacefulness next to the very clean, well-maintained pool (which I definitely took advantage of after the long Mt. Etna hike!) that had nice chairs and umbrellas as well. Our unit was on the second floor and had huge front and back patios! Loved having the washing machine and this was a great location to visit Mt. Etna (if you walk to the top of the property you can see it!) Bedroom itself was a little tight with the queen and one twin, and the other the twin bed was actually in the kitchen but my daughter didn't care. Host was lovely and responsive - she made sure to greet us as well as bid us farewell, and of course got us anything that needed restocking straight away. She truly cares about your experience and maintains a beautiful property!

Pleasant
Pros:

Nice, clean and new.
Location is not perfect, but quite ok.
The mountain, the city and the sea are equally reachable by car.

Cons:

We choose this place because of the swimming pool, BUT (!) they closed it the day we arrived.
No compensation was provided, unfortunately.
