Ezio's place was everything you could want in a quite, rural get-away. The home was built by Ezio's grandfather when he owned a construction company, and you can see and feel the love that went into every detail of the home. He even built a thermal fireplace in the living room, which heats and circulates hot water through the radiators throughout the house.
Just outside the house, there's a cool gazebo for relaxing. But the real attraction is the incredible, unobstructed view of the smoldering summit of Mt. Etna. Between the house and the volcano is nothing but wilderness, so the view if stunning.
Ezio gave us some great local tips, including a restaurant just a few miles down the road near Maletto, that served the best food we at anywhere in Sicily.
If you want a quiet getaway in a beautiful home with stunning scenery and a great host, look no further.
