Great spot with multiple rooms and bathrooms to accommodate a family! Kitchen available as well. Comfy living room also. Only downside is the small hot water heater- only lasts for 1-2 showers before being cold…

Vacaciones de Navidad en casa de Antonella, la casa en general estupenda, tres habitaciones con baño propio cada una, ideal para compartirla tres parejas o familia. Ella siempre dispuesta a ayudar, encantadora. La recomiendo para conocer la zona Este de Sicilia y el Etna.
