Gresi is a great host. She gave us many addresses on where to eat, drink and how to get around in Zafferana and tips on our planned trip on the Etna.
Her apartment is exactly like the pictures. Super clean, modern and functional. There is a nice terrace in the back to relax and look at the spectacular view of the Etna. There is a private garage but also plenty of free parking on the street as well. There is a nice bakery on the same street where we bought fresh warm cornetto (croissant) every morning for breakfast.
Zafferana is a cute safe town well located 15 minutes by car from the Etna Volcano Rifugio Sapienza and 30 minutes from Catania center. It’s a 10 minutes walk to the main piazza where you will find bars and restaurants.
We had a great time and will definitely go back on another trip in beautiful Sicily.
