“Fantastic views all round and a warm welcome made the uphill climb worthwhile!”
The location is up high so the views are amazing. There are 2 terraces so it's always possible to have sun and/or shade whenever. Nearby is a pizza restaurant/takeaway that is great! In the village a short downhill walk are great cafes and bars and a Spar and just up from the property is a square with a fabulous, friendly restaurant with great food and a wine shop. Rita who met us and showed us round the property couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful - she solved every problem we encountered. Unfortunately our Italian and her English was limited which was a shame as she was clearly a lovely woman who we would have liked to chat to!! The property was a good base for Etna Nord and the Alcantara gorge and valley which were both amazing.

The apartment was spacious and air conditioned. A lot of storage places, even a washing machine. The best part however was the large terrace with magnificent view of the old houses, beautiful ancient church and a castle and the large valley with the Francavilla di Sicilia town. Parking was without problems at an adjacent square.

“Unique Stay in Quaint Medieval Town”
The place is situated in the enchanting medieval town of Castiglione di Sicilia. It really is a unique experience to stay in such a place, but at times quite challenging to get around with a car since Google Maps does not seem to work well here. Be aware that if you make one wrong move in those little alleyways you need to be ready to do quite a bit of special manoeuvres to get back out. The lady who greeted us was very courteous and helpful and the property owner was prompt in answering any queries between the time of booking and our arrival. The apartment itself was good and spacious even though the layout is a bit weird. The plus is the big terrace with a view of the castle as well as the surrounding countryside, where you can enjoy a lovely breakfast, meal or glass of wine. Parking was not a problem in a public square about 2 mins walk away. We visited in March which is not a peak season so this may be different for other months.

“Beautiful traditional apartment sympathetically restored in a lovely mountain village”
The street was too narrow to park, so we parked nearby next to the Castle (easy walk up to property). The balcony was exceptional with an amazing view. The facilities were excellent, comfortable and peaceful. Kitchen and bathroom were great and exactly what was required.
