If you don't have a car, the place is really far by walking from the bus station. We arrived in the evening, and it took us about 40 mins dragging the luggage uphill. Beside that, the place is really nice, terrific view and great breakfast. Because it's inconvenient to get food from downhill in the city, we asked the host to order pizza delivery. And the host also helped us book the etna hiking tour, we really appreciated.
