The appartment is beautiful, big, modern and fully equipped. The terraces are the best part with amazing vistas over the Etna, perfect for evening dinner or sunbathing where nobody around can see you.
But that is the only positive thing about the house. The owner, showed inmediately his reluctance to rent it out, and gave us a general feeling of mistrust. We were happy to abide with the rules that were set, and we used the house with all the respect we would use ours but that didn't stop him from keeping almost all our deposit claiming for damage that was not our fault.
Floor tiles that were already broken when we arrived, garden chairs that broke as soon as we sat down (and we are pretty slim and fit people), pot plants magically broken that we never even touched...
We reported some of the aforementioned problems as soon as we saw them barely two hours after we got in the house, to avoid future issues, but that didn't change anything, and the owner showed no shame on blaming us for them.
On the other hand the house run out of gas on saturday morning, so we could not cook or have a hot shower till monday afternoon, something that still did not stop the owner from taking most of our deposit.
In conclusion, it could have been perfect, but it wasn't, we felt lied to and we felt like horrible guests.
Don't rent this house unless you are ready to part with your deposit to help the owner keep it as beautiful as it is.
