Outstanding views, generous hosts, tranquil location.
Pros:

Fabulous, isolated location right at the top of a mountain. Venerina and her friend Stina could not have been more welcoming, helpful or generous.
Views of Etna and the Alcantara Valley are exceptional, to wake up to views of mount Etna through your bedroom window is something that I will remember forever. Thank you guys, especially Venerina, good luck with your future endeavours and don’t work too hard, go easy on yourself and enjoy what you have and where you are. It is truly something outstanding.
Ooh! The breakfasts. Beautifully hand prepared fruit salad, tasty vegan yoghurts and eggs prepared to your liking.

Cons:

There is nothing here not to like. The drive up the mountain is a little tricky but that’s about it.

Beautiful relaxing retreat for those who want to spend a few days in complete silence surrounded by nature.
Pros:

First of all the host. She was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. The place is located on top of a mountain so the views are exhilarating!

Cons:

The winding road going up to the place

Hier kann man relaxen und genießen!
Pros:

Das Haus hat eine super tolle Lage. Mit den Vespas haben wir es gut erreicht. Toller Garten mit grandioser Aussicht vom Pool auf den Ätna. Unsere Gastgeberin Venerina hatte sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Das Frühstück eines der besseren die wir bei unserem Sizilien Tripp hatten.

Cons:

Eigentlich hatte alles gepasst.

Home from home, beautiful and tranquil.
Pros:

We were treated like royalty. The location is amazing with stunning views and tranquility. Our host, Venerina, was fantastic and couldn't do enough for us.

Cons:

Leaving..... It felt like home and we were sad to leave. There is nothing to dislike about this little gem.

Amazing Hostess in peaceful area with unsurpassed views
Pros:

Our host was absolutely amazing. Treated us like family. She was extremely generous and a great advocate for Motta Camastra and it's community. Massage room and pool were great. And the views!!!

Cons:

If using Google maps for directions it would be hard to find. Even TomTom struggled at one point. Will look forward to seeing the sauna and gym additions, but all current work in progresses.
