Maison agréable.
SituMaison agréable intérieurement avec une belle charpente en châtaignier qui donne un style chaleureux ainsi que les 2 velux. L'équipement électroménager est neuf . De l'extérieur, on a pu contempler l'éruption de l'Etna et ses coulées de laves.

Soggiorno piacevole, casa pulitissima e ordinata. accoglienza dei sigg. Greco esemplare. Consigliato
casa in un paesino fresco e tranquillo alle pendici dell'etna fuori dal traffico della costa ma comodo per visitare le localita dei dintorni. a Puntalazzo si trovano anche negozio di alimentari, macelleria, bar pasticceria e tabaccheria. occorre solo un paio di giorni per impratichirsi sulle numerose strade che portano alla costa. adatto a chi vuole visitare e anche rilassarsi in una casetta ristrutturata benissimo con un bel pergolato nell'area esterna. i signori Greco molto ospitali e disponibili a dare informazioni e indicazioni sulle possibili visite. La marmellata di arance e i prodotti del loro orto sono ottimi!

Location idéale pour visiter la partie orientale de la Sicile
Maison très spacieuse située dans un petit village authentique avec une jolie petite place et un très bon glacier. L'accueil des propriétaires a été particulièrement chaleureux quelques présents nous attendaient à notre arrivée et quelques fruits et légumes de leur jardin durant notre séjour. Le logement est particulièrement agréable à vivre, très bien equipé, d'une propreté irréprochable et la terrasse ombragée très appréciable. Puntalazzo est un lieu de villégiature intéressant pour visiter l'Etna, les îles Eoliennes, Taormine,Syracuse et toute la Sicile Baroque. Nous avons adoré cette location et n'en garderons que de très bons souvenirs. Un grand merci à Angelo et Anna Maria pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse! Ciao!

petite maison rurale idéale pour les amoureux de la nature
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce petit gite simple mais propre et où rien ne manque (attention pas de wifi cependant). Les versants nord et sud de l'Etna sont tout proches pour de magnifiques randonnées dans une nature préservée (belles forêts de pins près de Linguaglossa , Valle Del Bove près de Zafferana Etnea) avec de jolies vues sur les sommets et sur la côte. Se procurer la carte du Mont Etna dans une petite boutique car les chemins sont peu balisés et goûter le délicieux miel local ! M et Mme GRECO nous ont réservé un accueil adorable, attentionné et nous ont fait profité des très bons produits de leur jardin. Nous recommandons vivement ! Isabelle et Alain

tranquillité
des propriétaires agréables, si vous aimez la tranquillité, allez à Puntalazo. Petit village à 15 kilomètres des commerces, à 26 d'une plage potable, mais à quelques encablures de l'Etna. Pour les randonneurs le top. Le prix de la location est plus que correct. Mais si vous allez en Sicile, une semaine au sud, puis une au nord paraît être la bonne solution.
