I realize its a very old house but a few things definitely need updating. The mirror in the downstairs bathroom is basically useless old and fogged over. The kitchen pots and pans were pretty dirty we had to wash before we used it. Its in a beautiful place and owner is very nice and interesting just need a few TLC touches and a good cleaning. ##### Maria F. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathalie G.

The property met our needs for a 10 day break. It is in a lovely quiet location within Etna parkland with a lovely view, especially in the evening when all the lights of Catania sparkle in the distance. We were able to pack in a number of different walks around Etna, a trip to the Aeolian Islands, a visit to Taormina, Syracuse and Noto, a visit to the Alcantara Gorge and some beach-time. We only used the pool at the house a handful of times but were grateful that it was there. Be warned that you need bottled water for drinking as the tap water is not recommended. ##### Alexandra B.

I proprietari si sono dimostrati di una squisitezza unica nei nostri riguardi, facendoci sentire a nostro agio per tutta la durata della nostra permanenza.

La maison comprend deux logements. Le lieu est très appréciable car au calme. Il faut néanmoins cohabiter avec les fourmis qui s'empressent de dévorer tout ce qui traine (!). Attention également à garder les sandales sur le bord de la piscine pour éviter les échardes. Pas mal de visites à faire dans le coin entre Taormina, Syracuse, mais surtout, des ballades SPLENDIDES auprès de l'Etna. Nous y avons consacré 3 jours pleins avec 3 enfants et c'est un régal. Giuseppe donne de bons conseils sur les parcours qui permettent d'éviter le monde et les prix "touristiques". Les hôtes sont très sympas et parlent un français impeccable.

It is very peaceful and natural envorinment. There is no Air conditioning but it is not necessery as the nights are a bit colder as the villa is higher up the mountain. Pool is big enough for dip after whole day in sun. The owners are very friendly and easy going. They made us fabolous dinner and it was the best pasta we had in whole Sicily.

" (P. Brydone) Wir haben hier mit unseren Freunden (4 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) eine wundervolle Woche verbracht. Fernab der Touristenmassen relaxen und die Natur genießen. Von unserem Vermietern Marta und Giuseppe wurden wir herzlich begrüßt. Sie waren sehr aufmerksam und trotzdem nicht aufdringlich. Wir haben die abendlichen Gespräche mit Giuseppe sehr genossen. Vielen Dank für die tollen Tipps und Inspirationen bei einem Glas sizilianischem Wein. Das Haus wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail renoviert , so dass der Charme des alten Weinguts erhalten blieb. Der Ätna Nationalpark bietet vielfältige Wandererlebnisse, so dass wir mal scheinbar auf Mondkratern und dann wieder in Wälder und Gärten unterwegs waren. Besonders beeindruckend fanden wir die Touren im Nordpark. Die Woche verging wie im Fluge. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!!

En Sicile, il y a la cuisine, les légumes, le bon (très bon) vin de l'Etna, les granita, les Arancini (Palermo ou Catane ?) En Sicile, il n'y a pas le code de la route (sauf le jour du passage du permis de conduire), mais on s'y fait très bien, car c'est sans agressivité. J'ai virtuellement perdu mes 12 points français en conduisant comme un Sicilien, mais sans douleur. Et par dessus tout, en Sicile, il y a la Casa Etnea de Pierra et Giuseppe, sans oublier l'autre Giuseppe et Anna. La Casa Etnea est une maison de famille, mais elle a ceci d''extraordinaire que vous devenez membre de la famille (une famille sicilienne c'est quelque chose d'exceptionnel !). Pierra et Giuseppe parlent un français a nous donner honte de ne savoir dire que "Grazie". C'est un bonheur de passer des heures à discuter de l'Etna autour d'un verre de Grillo, et quand on a envie de changer de sujet, on peut parler de la Parmiggiana (et apprendre à la faire ensemble), de la Chapelure et des "Masculine" (private joke autour du poisson). Et quand la famille et les amis se réunissent pour un repas, le fait de ne pas parler les mêmes langues (Giuseppe et Anna) n'est pas un problème, les sourires remplacent les mots. Nous avons passé trois semaines à alterner les visites et les journées de farniente au bord de la piscine (dont la température n'a atteint QUE les 31°) où on se disait qu'il faisait chaud, mais que la piscine, les romarins et la vue sur Monte Illice (notre cratère privatif) étaient de bien belles choses, façon Dolce Vita. Pour parler de Trescastagni, les commerçants y sont sympathiques, toujours enthousiastes à vous faire découvrir les produits locaux. Pour les visites, ne manquez pas de visiter place Saint Alfio, le petit musée des Ex-votos. C'est unique ! Pour finir, nous exprimons un énorme remerciement à nos amis Pierra et Giuseppe pour leur sens absolument exceptionnel de l'accueil. Grazie mille... et à bientôt. 6 étoiles pour cette location ( références : nous avons plus de 10 locations homelidays en Europe depuis 2010) ##### Halgand S.

Nous remercions Guiseppe qui parle un excellent français et a été de bon conseil pour nos excursions sur l Etna et son fils Alfredo pour l'accueil sympathique malgré l'heure tardive! Nous reviendrons volontiers y séjourner. La présence d'un second gîte mitoyen ne nous a pas gêné et cela nous a permis d'échanger sur la découverte de cette belle région. Petites améliorations possibles : ajouter quelques panneaux pour indiquer l'accès à la casa (difficile à trouver de nuit !) et l'équipement de la cuisine un peu juste pour six. ##### MAQUERE M.

Feb 9, 2016 #### Nous reviendrons ! Bien sur, il y a là une maison écologique restaurée avec gout, chaleureuse et confortable (3 salles de bains !) Bien sûr, il y a là un panorama exceptionnel sur la mer et sur l'Etna (quelle magnifique terrasse) Bien sûr, il y a la proximité de Cataania, Taormina, Siracusa....(mais dans un endroit tranquille, loin du monde) Bien sûr, il Ya tout ça, mais en plus, il y a Giuseppe et son épouse, des hôtes exceptionnels ! Giuseppe vous parlera avec passion de "sa Etna" et vous tomberez amoureux de cette région. ##### jean louis R.

Apr 23, 2014 #### En harmonie avec la nature environnante "Magnifique maison dans la région de l''Etna, spacieuse et très bien rénovée. Très beau jardin avec vue sur la mer. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Giuseppe qui a pu nous donner des indications intéressantes sur la région et même nous mettre en contact avec un guide francophone pour effectuer une excursion sur l''Etna." ##### francesca f. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Rapallo-Hotels-Excelsior-Palace-Hotel.h21704.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Flora](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Flora.h919640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Cristina-Hotel.h16729.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Pensione Svizzera](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-La-Pensione-Svizzera.h899509.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ariston & Palazzo Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ariston-Palazzo-Santa-Caterina.h54117.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/Vico-Equense-Hotels-Hotel-Mary.h4947835.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Riviera.h1419029.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bel Soggiorno](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Bel-Soggiorno.h1053832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel de La Ville](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-De-La-Ville.h921822.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Santa-Caterina.h2541496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giorgio](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giorgio.h1709306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Belvedere](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Belvedere.h2499098.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Panoramic](https://www.expedia.ca/Maiori-Hotels-Residence-Hotel-Panoramic.h44539994.Hotel-Information) > > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Margherita](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Margherita.h915378.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-NH-Collection-Grand-Hotel-Convento-Di-Amalfi.h2885039.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Majestic-Palace-Hotel.h45862.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Miramalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Miramalfi.h1130642.Hotel-Information) > > [Italiana Hotels Cosenza](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosenza-Hotels-Italiana-Hotels-Cosenza.h1187073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Fioriere](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Fioriere.h1897502.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Manning Relais](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Villa-Manning-Relais.h21971579.Hotel-Information) > > [Splendid Hotel Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Splendid-Hotel-Taormina.h1735615.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdura Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sciacca-Hotels-Verdura-Resort.h2512326.Hotel-Information) > > [Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ravello-Hotels-Caruso.h1129096.Hotel-Information)
