It also offers a convenient and highly appreciated private parking space in the building's inner courtyard, where an electric car charging station is available. For groups of friends, you can book my homes in the building: “Luxury Panoramic Loft...” and “Delightful Luxury Home….”. Our guests from all over the world always return with enthusiasm—read their reviews! On the ground floor, the shared garden features: A heated swimming pool (closed in winter), A relaxation area with large sun loungers and deck chairs, either in the sun or under the trees, A dining area for enjoying lunch or dinner by candlelight, A spacious living/dining room with sofas, a large TV, a refrigerator, a coffee machine, dining tables, and showers.. All the rooms in the house, some with frescoed ceilings and a magnificent antique oak parquet floor, are bright, air-conditioned, and soundproofed. The bedrooms feature extra-large beds, a TV, and extremely comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and an extensive collection of elegant and functional tableware. The house also includes: Two spacious bathrooms with showers A washing machine and dryer A furnished terrace with a table, chairs, an umbrella, and a charcoal barbecue Upon request, children's accessories are available, including a playpen, strollers, cribs, a small table with chairs, a high chair, a Stokke Tripp Trapp chair, and a baby bathtub.

Additionally, the house is equipped with an alarm system. On holiday it is essential to feel safe, pampered and surrounded by every comfort. I want my guests to be sure to find everything they need in my home for an unforgettable, relaxing and regenerating stay, without worries. I will always be at your disposal for every need: whether it is to organise your excursions, book the best non-tourist restaurants where you can discover Sicilian gastronomic specialities, or visit the famous wine cellars of Etna for a tasting, I will be happy to give you suggestions and advice.

I look forward to welcoming my guests and making them enjoy a stay of comfort, beauty and discovery. Read the reviews of guests from all over the world to see how my commitment will make a difference: I am convinced that when the time comes to leave, you will be very sorry to leave this oasis of tranquillity, although you will know that you will always be welcome in the future.
