Maison de village avec une superbe terrasse et une magnifique vue sur l’Etna et le village. La maison est rustique et accessible seulement à pied du fait des petites rues en pente. Merci pour les pâtes et la sauce tomate maison ! Quelques équipements dans la cuisine manquants. Attention, l’eau peut parfois être manquante.
