We spent a great week in September in this house. Located near Giarre the house is in fact a large property, almost a compound, with a big yard, terraces, pool, and all the amenities.

Built on a refurbished old winery, the house is large, tastefully decorated, relaxed, well equipped and secured. Although we were 6 adults in our group, there was plenty of room for all of us without intruding in each other’s privacy. Bedrooms are large and comfortable with thoroughly clean bathrooms, properly stocked with all necessities. The whole house was nicely furnished, well stocked, attractive, at ease, and fun.

The property is conducive to self-catering as it provides several well-equipped kitchens, barbecue grill, and outside and inside dining tables. It was quite fun to cook in the evenings and spend time with our friends in this relaxed and pleasant environment.

The property is in fact a functioning large family vacation home which is sometimes rented out. The owners are a really nice retired couple who do not live on the premises. They greeted us upon our arrivals and met them several times during our stay. It was a pleasure to chat with them and listen to the history of this amazing place. They were always hospitable, warm, well informed and helpful. Sometimes in the morning we would even find, on a table outside, a nice bottle of their house wine waiting for us as a present.

The exterior of the house is at least as pleasurable as the interior. Well stocked with long chairs around the refreshing pool, tables everywhere, chairs in the garden. All around there are pieces of art made in-situ by a local artist. There is also a charming lemon garden where one can lay on a long chair for a reading or a chat.

The whole property is well secured electronically and therefore safe. There is also ample parking space for several cars.

An exceptional property, large, comfortable, and welcoming, well suited mostly for groups. We had a great time there and we recommend it highly.
