Such a lovely place to stay
This is such a lovely place to stay on holiday - the surroundings are beautiful and it is peaceful and relaxing. You can see Etna really clearly one way and the sea in the opposite direction, and the grounds of the accommodation are bursting with grapevines, olive and lemon trees, etc. Gabriella and her family are fantastic and made us so welcome. Her son Ricardo is great to help with any language issues. They were very accommodating, always there to help with anything, but never intrusive. Our plane was delayed on arrival and Gabriella's husband came out to look for us, as we were arriving in the dark, even though it was past midnight. They did a fantastic pizza night for everyone staying there one night, making about 15 different pizzas and cooking them in their own outdoor pizza oven, and complimenting these with their own homegrown and home produced wine - all totally delicious. It was a great way to meet the other guests and a really nice, enjoyable night. The accommodation was very clean - the only thing I would caution is to check what you have booked carefully - we didn't and so had booked a one-room (plus bathroom) 'apartment' for 4 of us, which would have been fine if we had had small children, but our girls are 18 and 21, and a separate bedroom would have been better for us - but that was our problem for not checking what we had booked properly. We loved Sicily and would definitely visit again, and we would highly recommend Gabriella and her lovely holiday homes.
