"Well...where do we start...
"Well...where do we start? Our week in Sicily was wonderful and this was due to many factors. Being picked up at the airport by Mattia (Rossella's son) made our arrival stress free and the lovely welcome we received from Rossella at the house was something we have not experienced before. She offered us coffee and gave us typical Sicilian food gifts such as bread, cakes, fresh pesto, parmesan cheese and a delicious bottle of limoncello! We had previously arranged with Mattia for airport transfers and to show us around Sicily. I would recommend this to anyone, as Mattia is a charming young man who looked after us and showed us the best points between Catania and Taormina, as well as around the Etna area. Unfortunately, after 2 attempts and bad weather, we were not able to go up Etna as planned, but instead Mattia took us to some beautiful places we would never have found on our own. Mattia is also far more reasonably priced than other tourist excursion companies and he picked up and dropped off at the house each day, as well as giving us a more personal experience of this beautiful island. The house is very comfortable and the location to the sea is as near as you will get! The view from the roof terrace is the sea in one direction and Etna in the other! As our holiday was in February, we did not have the best of weather, but we had a fantastic week and this was due to the lovely house and the warm hospitality and attentiveness of Rossella and Mattia."
