Casa Clò Master Villa - Trecastagni, Etna Park Unesco

Elio was very nice and attentive to our needs. Very nice property. Clean!

We arrived to find the whole of one side of the house covered in scaffolding with workers drilling the wall. The owner asked if this was ok? This was to go on for the whole of our stay. What was he thinking? How could he let the place knowing this? The house was cold when we arrived- we had to ask for the heating to be put on. When it was on, the noise from the boiler (just outside the window of the second bedroom!) pervaded the house. The bedroom was unusable because of this. Tried the single beds, they were like wooden boards! The view from the main bedroom was covered in scaffolding, and the second bedroom had a giant boiler and lots of rubbish directly outside. The washing machine didn’t work. Also one would have thought a place of this size would have had a dishwasher; it didn’t. The accommodation was described as a house. It was an apartment with the owner living upstairs. The single shower was like a broom cupboard with no room to swing a cat.

We so enjoyed our stay at Casa Clo! Elio + Katarina are the most gracious hosts. Offering recommendations daily and even driving us around the local town to help get our bearings. We even visited, Acireale, where Elio was born on his rec and loved it! The house is up a steep drive way but was great for our family of 4. great location for day trip to Mt. Etna, Taormina, and other coastal and mountain towns. My boys loved looking for all the turtles they have amongst the gardens too. And there's a great view for sunrise...if you are up that early! Dont miss the wineries either. Gamibinos was great! So grateful for our time near Mt. Etna and hope to be back one day soon.

Casa Clò was a lovely place to stay for our trip to Sicily—it was spacious, well-equipped with everything we needed (glasses, plates, kitchen tools, AC, not 1 but 2 outdoor areas), and exactly as described. Elio and his wife were also very kind and welcoming hosts and gave us great recommendations for everything to do, see, and eat in the area! I can't recommend their place enough

Beautiful place, very nice house, very clean. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

A large quiet older home.Very clean in the countryside of Mt Etna. Has a beautiful garden which was really appreciated. It was wonderful sitting and dining outside. The terrace is a plus. It was a very comfortable stay and our host was very helpful with everything. I can recommend staying here. Susan Australia

The flat was large and nice, but it was a flat and not a house as claimed in the advert. This should have been told beforehand, also that you don't live there on your own, but the landlords live above. Secondly there should have been information about Lampo, the rather large dog that lives there and always comes when you want to sit on the terrace. He was a very friendy and cute dog, but anyways, it might be disturbing not to know. Apart from those two points, Elio was very nice and attentive. It was a nice stay and we enjoyed it very much.

We had a wonderful stay at Elio and Eleonora's house. The house is easy to find, clean, really nice and cosy, very practical also. All around, the landscape is beautiful ! Elio was very welcoming and gave us clues to reach nice spots on Etna. Landscapes on Etna are amazing. We really enjoyed our stay !

The place was spacious with several nice bedrooms, a kitchen, washing room, living room and two nice outdoor areas: The garden in the back and the patio in front. The host, Elio, was friendly and helpful. There might have been better information about the dog, Lampo. He was very friendly and it worked well for us but if you are allergic or afraid of dogs, it would be nice to know before you book. The place is well situated for day trips to Etna and several nice towns in the area. In all, we had a pleasant stay!

The accommodation is very spacious - 2 doubles & a twin, a large kitchen/diner, separate living room, plenty of outside space. It's absurdly well-equipped, clean, tidy, and comfortable enough. Our host (Elio) who lives upstairs was extremely pleasant, helpful and generous. His new dog (June 2017) Lampo is quite large & lively, but actually a really nice animal who's starting to train up well! The house is at the end of a dead-end road, so zero traffic, which is nice. A couple of km to nearest shops, which was fine for us as we had a hire car. A short distance away is Azienda Blandano, from which you can purchase good, cheap wine :-) We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, exploring Mount Etna & area, and would happily return.
