We had a lovely week at Michela's house. The house was great and we especially enjoyed the pool. Going to Etna was fun but be prepared as it is expensive to take the cable car. The best restaurants were on the main road into Santa Maria de Licodia. The weather was great - not too many problems with mosquitoes. There are lots of bees but they were friendly and if you don't bother them they won't bother you.
