This is a nice place to stay. We were there in March when the weather was a bit cold for spending much time outside, but in warmer weather the garden terrace would be a real boon. The location is very convenient for going up Etna. You get a great view of Etna from the front door. On street parking is available on a side street just opposite and there are plenty of shops near the square in central Pedara just a stones throw away, even a gluten free pizzeria! One of the few places in Sicily where we weren't disturbed by barking dogs at night.
