Maria's stone house is beautifully set at the edge of the small town of Linguaglossa in an amazingly green garden with lots of fruit trees and flowers. The house is hugh: it can sleep up to 5 people. Really loved the fresh fruit that was waiting for us upon arrival :). Linguaglossa is a very likeable and friendly, not too touristy town and a great base to explore Etna from. Would recommend driving around the volcano for a day: there's a good road and the views are spectacular. Keep in mind that the climate up here is a lot cooler than in lower places in Sicily. The place is only a short drive from the coast though!
