Lovely spot just outside of the “town” of Santa Venerina. Unbeatable view of the land and ocean beyond from terrace and room. Turn the other way and see Etna in the distance. Simply gorgeous. Very peaceful. Takes only about 30 min to drive (winding road) to the base of Etna for the cable car ride up to where you can start hiking. Host was super accommodating. When the space heater stopped working she voluntarily offered to refund my last day as I left early (this was in December so being warm was really important and they are not done installing the heating yet). Hope to come back in summer!
