The Experience

The farm is small, delightful and organic, the coast is a short drive, and you can walk to simple cafés, restaurant and museum. But the star here is Europe’s largest active volcano… there are great views of Mount Etna from the orchard. Come for organised treks to the crater, skiing in winter, walking the rest of the year. Back at the farm is Cesare, generous and delightful. His wife is a teacher; the family is multi-lingual and well-travelled. This is a lovely set up for a family stay, with gardens to run around in, hammocks slung between walnut trees, a guest kitchen in which to rustle up a meal, and two friendly labs to stroke. You can also self-cater, in the characterful old casita dedicated to Pippinitto, the farmer who once lived here with his family and donkey. Expect new mattresses and good linen, en suite showers, wood-burning stoves; the décor, complimented by chunky country beams and old terracotta, is simple, modern and comfortable throughout. As you’d expect, Cesare’s breakfasts are plentiful and delicious – warm rolls, yogurts, home-grown fruits, cakes and jams – served at small wooden tables in a lovely airy room.

Reviews

Kay

Restful, beautiful, well run, and welcoming. Would recommend for short or long stay. Breakfasts amazing. Off beaten track but easy to reach other areas from, and close to airport.will definitely choose to stay again.lovely location, on beautiful farm, very peaceful . Owner always on hand to help but not intrusive. Ten out of ten!


Duncan

Arriving three hours late owing to a flight diversion caused by bad weather, Cesare proved to be an excellent host and did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable, even offering to meet us in the town to escort us to his B & B Breakfasts were excellent and the location ideal for visiting the local attractions. Well up to Sawday standard.
