Francesco and his mother, Ciettina (short for Concetta) are great hosts. They are very welcoming and we felt that we were truly guests in their home. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we felt like we were at home. For me the bed and breakfast experience is about the people not the accommodation. In this case the people were awesome and the accommodations excellent. On arrival we were offered a drink of juice and the fridge was stocked with water , milk, juice and fruit from their own trees. For breakfast we ate freshly baked pastries and bread that Francesco had just picked up from the bakery and he also shopped for the cold cuts just before breakfast. We were also offered an olive oil that they produce and a selection of local organic honey. As an active volcano Etna deserves a second visit and so does the home of Francesco and Ciettina. A wonderful place and wonderful people.
