    Beautiful house in a wonderful little village. The view is breathtaking! The charming house was located on a nice narrow street. Beautiful gardens with a nice pool.

    The guesthouse is very well organized and managed by the hosts. Martina is the manager and she has been extremely helpful, friendly and organized to the smallest detail. She prepares herself breakfast for you and will get up at 5:30 AM to set you...

Our property is located at the slopes of Etna, in the center of a little country called Sant'Alfio,characterized by narrow and ancient streets. It is a small corner created for our guests, to allow them to get away from the classic daily routine, a few meters from the Etna and the sea, but with the intention to make them feel as if they had never moved from home. We are also Bikers Friendly. In our structure, on request, you can have breakfast products gluten-free, with an extra.
Our interest is to do well to be our guests, spoiling and taking care of them. We find it burdensome to tell you, that within our family, 2 loving dogs are present. At the request of our guests, they will be kept at home, avoiding contact with them.
In Sant'Alfio, it is important to visit the Chestnut of Hundred Horses, a centuries-old chestnut became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You also need to visit the Mother Church present to the town center. In addition, from the square you can admire a beautiful panorama.
