Très agréable maison dans un parc avec fleurs, arbres et animaux; très belles piscine et terrasse !
Au pied de l'Etna, très proche pour les randonnées.
La chambre est un peu sommaire, mais suffisante pour quelques nuits.
Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques.

Ein toller Ort, unbeschreiblich ruhig und ganz im Grünen und im Schatten des Aetnas.
Super geeignet auch für Familien mit Kindern, da im gleichen Areal ein landwirtschaftlicher Betrieb mit Kühen und Pferden und anderen Tieren angesiedelt ist.
Das Frühstück am Swimmingpool ist auch nicht alltäglich.
Ein Anfahrtsbeschrieb müsste noch erarbeitet werden, da mein GPS nicht angesprochen hat und uns infolgedessen /glücklicher Weise ein sehr netter Italiener von Piedimonte uns zu unserem Glück mit seinem Auto geführt hat.
Schade, dass man für das Nachtessen ins nächste Dorf fahren muss, und nicht zu Fuss über die Strasse verpflegt werden kann. Dies hat aber nichts mit B&B zu tun.

Si entra in una bellissima oasi di verde con la vegetazione propria di questa zona alle pensi dell'Etna. Rapidamente si raggiungono sia Piedimonte Etneo che Linguaglossa. Stanze comode, con arredamento congruo all'ambiente; manca il televisore, il probabilmente per scelta.

La struttura si trova in un contesto suggestivo ed è immersa nel verde di un meraviglioso parco dove ci sono anche dei cavalli. Il posto è molto silenzioso, tranquillo e strategico trovandosi vicino a diversi luoghi che volevamo visitare, quindi gli spostamenti risultavano molto comodi e brevi. La padrona di casa è stata cordiale gentile e molto disponibile.

Il B&B è collocato in una grande e bellissima tenuta in mezzo al verde. Abbiamo soggiornato in una stanza con vista Etna, grande e tranquilla. La colazione è servita a bordo piscina. Le titolari sono state cortesi e disponibili, fornendoci consigli per i ristoranti ed agevolandoci con l'orario della colazione una mattina in cui dovevamo uscire presto. Ottima soluzione per visitare la zona Etna nord, buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

Abbiamo soggiornato presso questa struttura, buon posizionamento alle falde dell’Etna, bella la location nella natura con una bella piscina ma bisogna sottolineare alcuni aspetti da migliorare. Innanzitutto la colazione dovrebbe essere più abbondante e variegata, secondo si richiederebbe maggior accuratezza nella pulizia delle camere (in 5 giorni non è stato effettuato nessun cambio delle asciugamani), infine si poteva evitare la festa del 14 agosto che non ha fatto dormire fino alle 3:30 di notte.

Posto splendido, per posizione e per cura del terreno circostante le belle stanze, perfetto per escursioni sull'Etna ma comunque a 20 minuti dal mare, solo un po' troppo distaccata/formale la gestione, quasi fosse un hotel invece che un b&b (come la colazione, appena sufficiente sul fronte prodotti locali)
