My husband and I stayed at the Baletti apartment on Mount Etna for four nights as part of our honeymoon and we had an amazing time. The views from the property are incredible and it was so peaceful- a truly magical place to stay. It's a unique experience to stay on an active Volcano and you could even see some volcanic activity at night within a safe distance. We only wished we'd had enough time to take advantage of the mountain guide tours but we were lucky enough to meet Davide's friend and guide Diego who showed us some incredible images of recent hikes. Initially, it was a steep drive to get up the mountain but Davide's directions and driving tips were spot on and it was manageable in a Ford Fiesta hire car with careful driving- totally worth it to reach such a beautiful location. The apartment was as pictured- well built, beautifully decorated and comfortable for the changeable mountain weather- absolutely unforgettable views right down to Taomina from both balconies and an eco heater for cooler nights. David and Valentino were so friendly and hospitable even invited us to a meal cooked outdoors on the property with their family and other guests - this was truly special and unexpected, and to top it off we were able to sample Davide's own Etnella natural wines which are really good as are his homemade jams. We feel we had a truly unique experience and learnt about Etna life, natural winemaking and Sicilian food as well as making some new friends. If we knew how much there was to experience we would have loved to stay longer and arranged more time to visit Etnella winery and explore more of the local area. But we are very happy with the four nights we spent there, so relaxing and inspiring, and we hope we can come back again soon. We definitely recommend Davide's properties to experience Mount Etna!
