We had a very good time staying at Silvio's apartment in Nicolosi. The apartment itself is very spacious and funkily decorated, especially the Vespa/Piaggio-themed bedroom, and well-equipped. It occupies a central location in Nicolosi. The town has a pleasant buzz and plenty of nice places to eat and drink, all in short walking distance of the apartment. It's also an ideal base from which to visit Mount Etna, only a pleasant 20 minute drive to the Etna cable car. Silvio was a good host, responding quickly to queries and giving us clear instructions to visit Etna as well as good local recommendations. Highly recommended!
