Amazing stay!
The house is set in a huge beautiful park, which makes you feel calm as soon as you enter the gate to the property. The pathway up to the house leads you through gorgeous citrus threes, all kind of colourful flowers and beautiful views. The kids loved exploring the surrounding park with us. Furthermore, there is a fenced garden, with direct access from the house and terrace, featuring the most amazing views of the sea and the small village of Piedimonte. It was so relaxing enjoying the sun and view while the kids could play safely in the garden.
The village of Piedmonte is walking distance (10-15 min), authentic and offers everything you need such as butcher, supermarket (with a good cheese/meat counter), bakery (with delicious ice-cream and cakes) and a few restaurants/cafes. Finally, the house is well situated to reach sights such as Etna, Taormina, wineries etc.
The house itself is everything you would expect from an authentic Sicilian property; history, charm and uniquely decorated so that you actually feel that it is a home. We stayed for 4 days and continued to discover small charming details and beautiful décor in the house. There was even toys for the kids, which they loved.
The cosy living room has a great view with direct access to the front garden, the dinning room is fitting 8 people and the fully equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking your own meals. Bedrooms are comfortable, spacious and a very nice temperature. The bathrooms nice, clean, with a good water pressure and enough hot water.
On top of this unique house and surroundings, Agata was an amazing host. From the first contact to the farewell, we really felt secure and fully taken care of. We arrived late, which meant that we were at the property around 23:00. Agata and her husband greeted us at the property with pizza, wine and cake and the fridge stocked for breakfast, which was such a nice gesture, arriving late with two small kids (and four hungry adults:-)). They also took the time to show us the village to make sure we were all set before they left.
The whole vibe of the house and Agata as the warm host makes you feel comfortable, relaxed and home immediately – we could not have wished for more. Even our kids did not want to leave after the 4 days:-)
So do not hesitate, book – you will not regret it!
