We wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Luigi's house near Etna! It's a spacious house with a large garden, and has all necessary equipment - the pictures do it justice. The location is perfect for visiting Etna Sud, but Catania and the beaches are also reasonably close (if you have a car). Furthermore, Luigi is a gracious host with whom it is easy to communicate and who personally looks after his visitors. He has lots of tips, ranging from places to visit to culinary suggestions. We had a great time, thanks Luigi!
