It was a rare pleasure staying at Andrea's place.
Not only the apartment was slightly better than in the photos, but we arrived there to a host and we left there from a friend.
Exceptional hospitality (we spoke a bit of Italian and maybe that may have helped a bit, too), impeccable property, whatever we asked for he had an answer/ a solution for it.
Don't get mislead by this "father-bear" look, Andrea is a golden heart person, who will do his utmost to make you feel great during your stay.
Just do a bit of communication-effort on your side, and you will be plenty rewarded.
If you are planning to visit Etna, or If you are renting a car an planning to visit EAST/South-east Sicily, Andrea's place is the perfect headquarter.
There are 2 places where you can eat, in front of his Vila, less than 25 meters away (traditional style on the left side "bar" and Italian style on the right).
We truly hope to get back there in May.
Thank you Andrea.
