We stayed at Giuseppe's place in August 2021. We made a last minute booking for 2 nights the day before and received immediate response. The house has been renovated superbly in 2021 and Giuseppe has made a lot of effort to think of every little detail, both in furnishing and decoration and availability of small little handy details, especially in the kitchen (espresso maker etc,…). There’s new very well functioning split aircons in the living and in each bedroom for those hot days. There's a master bedroom upstairs with a double bed and another bedroom with two simple beds. The house is super clean!
Giuseppe and his wife were there to meet us at check in and check out and called us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and that we received recommendations for our visit (restaurants : We enjoyed Anthici Proverbi)). They are such nice people and want to make sure their guests are enjoying the experience.
There’s ample (free) street parking around the house. We always found a spot immediately for our car.
The location is very central and quiet in the center of Nicolosi with bakery, vegetable and fruit shop and many good restaurants just at your doorstep.
Nicolosi is a nice little town at the foothills of mount Etna and makes an ideal starting point to drive up to Etna for an early morning hike (before the crowds) to the crater area. Nicolosi is also ideally located for visits to Acireale, Catania and even further afield to Taormina for example. It’s easily reachable.
We could not have made a better choice and would highly recommend Giuseppe’s place to everybody !
