Nice house, shame about the weather!
We've just returned from a week here. There is plenty of room in the house and the furniture is comfortable. Everything we needed was supplied (kitchen equipment, linens etc). It was very clean but there were a lot of trip hazards in the way of rugs, and various ornaments and nick-nacks around the place giving it a slightly fussy feel. My 4-year-old loved the grapes and peaches growing in the garden. There are a lot of steps (2 flights) up to the front door so it isn't really suitable for those with mobility difficulties. Views to Etna and the sea on a clear day are tremendous - and so are the thunderstorms! The house is in a cul-de-sac but the exit to the main road is extremely dangerous with no visibility in either direction. A mirror across the road helps only a little. There was a bad road accident at that spot during our stay. While the location looks convenient on the map, the reality of the narrow winding roads and the Sicilian way of driving means that it takes longer to reach your destination than you might expect. Having said that, 40 minutes drive will take you to innumerable walking spots on the volcano, or to the cable car station to the summit. About an hour to Taormina and Catania airport. Pisano itself isn't much of a place (and despite the proximity, the nature of the road means it is not possible to walk there). Zafferana (20 mins drive) is a nice place to while away a couple of hours. Nearest sandy beach is north of Taormina just below the autostrada exit. I personally wouldn't return to this particular house, but it gives an ideal and comfortable base for anyone interested in mountain activities in particular.
