A warmer welcome than the Etna herself! Arriving at Sonja and Pippo's place felt a bit like coming home. We were very warmly welcomed by what we - in retrospect - would call our Sicilian aunt, Sonja. Caring and 'taking care' comes from the heart and you feel that as a guest. Most important: Sonja has a secret: she's an excellent cook! So go for the dinner she offers - it's the best around. The Etna is in their backyard, so we had the luck of seeing the eruptions at night (but you're far enough to be safe ;)). We took our young travelling son with us, Miro, and to this day we think he misses his outdoor kitchen playground in Sicily. Thanks again, Sonja and Pippo!
