    Very quiet and relaxed location, but quite easy to reach a few small shops, cafes and bars in Ragalna. Great outside area with lots of space for peaceful lounging!

    A revitalising, peaceful stay in an authentic Sicilian property, highly recommend to everyone!

    There was nothing at all to dislike.

    This is the most well equipped property we have ever stayed in. The property has been lovingly restored in a traditional Sicilian way but with all the mod cons of the modern World. Nestled at the end of a little lane, we loved the peace and tranquility - we were there 24 hours and in that time only one car and one pedestrian went past. The outdoor furniture was comfortable, with little touches like citronella candles and muslin curtains billowing in the breeze. Based on the slopes of Mount Etna, the cooler air was a welcome relief. The kitchen was so quaint and the two decorative sinks were Instagram worthy! The added bonus was a washing machine in the bathroom. The bedroom we stayed in was really pretty, the bed was super comfortable with quality crisp white bedlinen. The perfect restorative escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    There are several things to work on... - water pressure is pure in genaral but when you flash the tollet the pipes are empty at all. - few electical sockets are broken and looks dengerouse - water taps in tollet and kitchen are broken - steps to the second floor sceary and very dengerouse to use especcialy at night

    - Great hospitality from the owners, thank you for the several bottles of wine )) - If you like be alone and far from civilization, you will love this location. - Property fully equipt and kitchen is full - salt, oil, etc. - Wonderfull garden

    Beautiful rustic rifugio very close to Mount Etna. Fireplace was nice in mid March while it's still pretty cool at night. Nice kitchen facilities.

    Would recommend having more cutlery and kitchen appliances. For 2 people it was enough. However, if more people were staying, they would need more.

    Loved the outside area, especially our two dogs, who loved to run around in a safe and enclosed area.

    We where 6 persons and our dog and stayed for 4 nights. We had a very good time, especially in the evenings chating and joking in front of the very nice and cosy fireplace. On our checkout our dog did not want to leave😅 I would raccomend it to anyone.

    A beautiful garden surrounds the house, with space for outdoor dining, bbq, space for kids to play, or just to relax and look at the stars. The home is comfortable and fully equipped. The host was friendly and very responsive to messages.

    Really great place, a luxurious and characterful mountain refuge

    limited dining and shopping options nearby but it was out of season so many places closed. The lighting in the kitchen was very poor and made cooking difficult. But these are small points and overall it was super value and a great stay.

    Tremendous, characterful place near the sights around etna, like a really luxurious mountain refuge. The drive up to etna is awesome! The apartment is really well equipped with wonderful grounds, wish we were staying longer.

    The power can switch off if too many electronics are on, but the owner did warn us about it.

    The house was very nice, the owners put a lot of thought designing each and every room. The kitchen was sooooo beautiful, atmosphere in the place is great. And if you forget to buy a bottle of wine, you can agree with the great host to take one from their collection ( for few euros of course) 😄
