HOME
Pros:

A home is not a motel or hotel. You can be very satisfied with a hotel or any establishment alike. But the most difficult thing in the world is to go somehwere new, somewhere you have never set foot on before and feel exactly as if you are home. We have to thank Venerina for that, she is the most wonderful host ayone can found while exploring the world and having fun. The view of the Etna and the whole valley is astonishing. The pool is certainly a nice feature for extra pleasure and comfort. Unforgettable! And we will be back!

Cons:

Nothing could have beem better, all you need is love, love is all you need

Pros:

L’host molto gentile

Cons:

Il luogo era fatiscente, con mobili vecchi accatastati ovunque. Le tende in camera erano mezze staccate. La stanza aveva un solo comodino . I muri erano ammuffiti in alcuni punti

Absolutely breathtaking views!
Pros:

An amazing place with absolutely breathtaking views! You have to drive quite far up the hill past Motta Camastra, but once you arrive, you are truly rewarded. The views over the Alcantara Valley and Mount Etna are unforgettable. The host was exceptionally caring and welcoming. We loved our stay and will surely return!

Un séjour au calme au coeur des montagnes, avec une hôte d’une immense gentillesse ! Merci beaucoup !
Pros:

Un grand merci à Venerina pour son accueil chaleureux et sa gentillesse ! Le petit déjeuner était excellent et Venerina nous a même préparé un petit déjeuner à emporter pour notre excursion sur l’Etna!
Nous avons beaucoup aimé le calme et les extérieurs de la maison avec une superbe vue sur l’Etna ! Et bien sur Nina, la chienne de la maison !

Cons:

Il serait plus confortable d’ajouter une table de chevet de l’autre côté du lit et un tapis de bain.

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.

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.
