We loved our stay at Amelio's place. It's beautiful: views of Mt Etna on one side and the ocean on the other with a northerly outlook onto very rustic terraced farmland. The apartment is very well appointed, clean, spacious, quiet and very clean.
The property is down a lovely country lane lined by stone walls surrounded by farmland. Amelio and his wife have very established fruit and vegetable gardens all around the buildings so there is plenty of shade and a lovely quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
A large supermarket is close by as are the towns of Piedemonte Etna and Linguarossa. It's a fairly short drive to the coast and also to Etna Nord for vulcano sightseeing.
Amelio is a wonderful host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly reccomended!
