Wunderschöne Unterkunft
Wir waren drei Nächte in dieser wunderschönen Unterkunft mit atemberaubendem Ausblick auf das Meer und den Ätna. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und der Check In problemlos. Es liegt im Grünen zwischen Orangenbäumen und einem liebevoll gestaltetem Garten. Die Küche ist in einer alten Höhle und sehr modern eingerichtet, so wie die gesamte Unterkunft. Es gibt auch eine sehr süße Katze :) Von der Unterkunft aus kommt man sehr gut nach Catania, Taormina und zum Ätna. Somit ist sie ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um Sizilien kennenzulernen. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen und unvergesslichen Aufenthalt und freuen uns darauf irgendwann wieder zu kommen.
