The structure disappointed us a lot. I am sorry to have to be very direct, but the host must have a certain respect for those who go on vacation, because it is often the result of sacrifices or during the year there are no other opportunities. I purchased the stay at a price appropriate for two good rooms, the photos gave the idea of two spacious rooms for a stay for four people. Instead, we found very questionable, dilapidated rooms, and the photos can be considered misleading. The bathroom is tiny and doesn't even have a bidet. The rooms are actually not two but one separated by panels. In one of these, we found a mattress that one cannot sleep on, to the point that we slept three on the double bed. The electrical system I believe is something I haven't seen in a publicly accessible structure for at least 20 years. I skip the included breakfast that we went to have at the bar. I do not go into other details.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Stefano, lavoriamo molto per fare stare bene i nostri ospiti e fortunatamente le nostre recensioni lo dimostrano, dispiace che per voi non sia stato così. Effettivamente non ci eravamo accorti del problema al lettino per il bambino che abbiamo immediatamente sostituto (era sicuramente integro fino a poco prima), bastava solo segnalarlo e avremmo risolto tempestivamente. Le foto corrispondono perfettamente e vi è stata assegnata una camera diversa , più grande, di circa 30 mq, con tutti i confort possibili, ingresso indipendente, bagno privato, giardino, frigo, aria condizionata e wifi, rispetto alla soluzione più economica da voi prenotata (hai prenotato 1 camera non 2) La colazione vi è stata lasciata in camera con frutta yogurt succhi di frutta, thè, tisane, brioches, ecc. Siamo una struttura per famiglie in un ambiente informale e familiare in cui l'educazione ed il rispetto reciproco sono alla base di tutto e non credo sia corretto scrivere cose inesatte e fantasiose e nel caso in cui si cerchino servizi particolari converrebbe prenotare hotel o simili. Siamo comunque felici di avervi avuto come ospiti ed accettiamo la tua recensione con il sorriso sottolineando che ne abbiamo altre cento positive che riconoscono il nostro impegno ed il nostro lavoro. Angelo.

The simple but nice accommodation is ideal for exploring the Etna area. In November, unfortunately, the village is a bit deserted and you have to drive a bit further for activities. Attentive hosts with many tips for various tours.

The structure is really very nice. The room is tastefully furnished and is spacious enough for three people. The bathroom is small but very comfortable and has everything necessary. The outdoor spaces are well-kept and also tastefully furnished. We had dinner outside (takeaway dinner) and it was very pleasant because the structure is located in a quiet area of the town, although not isolated, so you can reach the local establishments in the town on foot. The staff is courteous and helpful. This is definitely a structure to keep in mind for future stays.

We spent two nights in this delightful B&B that made my stay truly pleasant. The location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore the main attractions. The rooms were cozy and clean, offering the right comfort after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast, served every morning, was excellent. The owner was extremely kind and helpful, ready to give advice on activities in the area. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing stay.

The room where we stayed was very nice, furnished with extreme attention to detail and very comfortable. The garden is very pretty. A place to go if you want to stay in a quiet but well-connected setting. The owner is very kind and helpful.

We stayed in the family loft, cozy, spacious, clean, and with all the comforts. The owners of the property are very kind and helpful. The outdoor space is very welcoming and relaxing. The breakfast is excellent and plentiful, with local products, in addition to the kindness and availability of the landlady. It is the ideal place if you want to visit Etnaland as it is reachable in less than 20 minutes. We had a great time, perfect if you are traveling with kids. We will definitely come back.

The structure is positioned in a strategic location close to the sea and the mountains (Etna). It is a lovely place that is greatly appreciated for the cool evening air that surrounds the villa. Angelo, the owner, is a very friendly and helpful guy.

A short but pleasant stay in a very pleasant structure, where the different styles and colors (which always recall Sicily), harmonize perfectly with the nature around. Details curated with taste that blend well with the elegant simplicity of Angelo who, with the legendary dog Mimmo, takes care of his guests in an affectionate way. Thank you. We will return.
