we, family of four, children age 9 and 11 stayed three days in etna house end of July. The house is located in a hilly village, perfect for visiting etna. Great swimming pool and garden and the parents that live in the main villa are friendly and keep mainly to themsleves. The house is clean and is very well suited for families. The only thing lacking is an airconditioner. Some food can be found very close by, but restaurants may not be open. Eleonora left some guides and books about Etna and surrounding in the house, which are helpful. We had a great stay and can recommend the place.
