Perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Touren auf den Ätna. Luca war ein toller Gastgeber, half auch bei der Organisation von Touren. Im Umfeld viele tolle sizilianische Restaurants, in denen sich die Einheimischen treffen. Alles in allem ein Geheimtipp für Individualtouristen. Und nicht zu vergessen, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhâltnis ist hervorragend.

Very nice room. Very modern and clean. Good hot water in shower. No iron or ironing board available. Breakfast is at an offsite location and consists of one coffee and one pastry. Not sure adding the breakfast was worth. The owner Luca is very responsive. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it.
