Linguaglossa review Debbie and Carmelo are fantastic hosts. Although the previous reviews state this, I didn't realise how true this was until the end of my 2 day stay in Linguaglossa. Debbie's place is a few minutes from town and has an unsurpassed view of Etna from the enormous balcony around the house. You can see the imposing mountain ranges that surround the property. Their property is vast and has an extensive series of fruit and nut trees plus vegetable patches. They even own a nearby mountain! Debbie told us everything we need to know from local bush walks to restaurant recommendations and even gave us a sample of their homemade olive oil which was damn good. You don't have to accept her advice but she has 25 years of local knowledge to share so it's worth listening to. She was also able to organise my purchasing of Etna mementos for my daughter on my last morning from a shop in town which had been closed for months. Whilst all this was great, Debbie really shone when I had the misfortune of being bitten by a 6 inch centipede which had found its way into my shoe. I was about 500m from home on my way to he memento shop when what momentarily seemed like a rock in my shoe quickly turned to searing pain as the centipede pierced my toes. I quickly removed my shoe to discover this leggy fella curled up on the nose of my sock which I quickly removed. He scampered out quickly but I took a couple of pictures of him as I would have no hope of explaining this in Italian. I called Debbie and she told me to stay put and that she would pick me up immediately. She arrived with ammonia and I treated the bite to stop the swelling. After we ascertained I wasn't descending into delirium, we drove to the shop as this was my only opportunity to buy these souvenirs before I drove to Cefalu. My newlywed friends were waiting for me so we could start the drive. We got to the shop and I was given a seat in the store while Debbie kept my foot raised and treated it while I pointed to items in the shop in between the escalating pain. Definitely a unique shopping experience and a first for me. We asked the shop owners and passers by if they knew of this centipede and if it was dangerous but no one seemed to recognise it. With mementos in hand, Debbie drove me to the first aid station where ambulance officers took a look at my wound and the pictures of the centipede. Only one out of 5 officers recognised the insect but he assured me it was not poisonous. They treated me and prescribed medicine and Debbie also provided home grown herbal remedies for the wound back at her house. Carmelo took a look at the centipede and knew immediate it wasn't especially dangerous....
