The Giarre exit of the motorway is 4 kilometres away.Catania international airport i Fontanarossai , can be reached in about 30 min. by car or train.
The part of the house used by guests has recently been modernised in rustic style using typical sicilian materials; the rooms enjoy a private bathroom and, on request, also a kitchen. The guests can use their own separate entrance, a parking space in the large courtyard, not to mention the 350 sq mts of garden with its own furniture for those moments of total relaxation
