When we first arrived at the address we were a little apprehensive - but boy were we wrong. What a little gem!!! The accommodation was a self contained "bungalow" set behind the main house in a nice little garden. It was amazing - with everything you could wish for. It was also only a few minutes walk to the centre of town, which was great. We stayed at Catania specifically to visit Etna. If you go, make sure the weather is good as it can get very misty on top and you won't see a thing. Also, you need to take the cable car and then the "bus" plus guide - I don't recommend walking at all. All in all it's quite expensive and not much to see there when you arrive at the top - but.....it's something you can say you've done. Make sure you take coats, good shoes and a fleece, it can be very cold up there.
OK and now for Rodolfo. I'm certain there isn't a more friendly host in the World - he's fantastic. He was so so helpful - 5 stars.
Finally, car parking. You can have secured parking in Rodolfo's father's yard for 10 euro a day, or you can park on the street, near the house, for free, but make sure you are up-hill from the apartment, as there are restrictions going down hill.
