At the feet of Mont Etna in a wonderful landscape there is a nice mausion (casale) of the 17th century; it is among citrus trees and fruit trees; it was restred without any innovation but manteining its original look by a young architect; it is suitable either for a pleasant holiday or for a working stay. It is conducted by La Spina family; they love country life and they take a particular care of their guests trying to make their stay as confortable as posible.
