We absolutely recommend this place! The house is very homy, beautiful and clean and has a well stocked kitchen. Maria is a great host and is always there to help, including getting your fire going for the wood oven. The house is the perfect base for exploring the south side of the Etna, with several hiking routes within a 15-minute drive up the road. And of course there is the massive pool and garden to relax after your walk. For the wine (and food) lovers: there are several vineyards within a one hour drive, including Gambino vineyards that offers an excellent wine tasting lunch. Thank you Maria!
