We stayed at Arancio "Hometna" during our Sicilian voyage and enjoyed it enormously. Benedetto and his girlfriend did everything so that we could feel being at home. The location is perfect; Monti Rossi dominate the view, road to Etna south side is literally just around the corner. If you are planning to explore Etna jewels, this is right place to station, with shortcuts to A18 and A19 roads, as well as smaller roads around the volcano.

The apartment is clean and tidy, air-conditioned, and well equipped. You can use the garden which is hidden from the street view and as the whole street is private, there is plenty place to park your car. On our day of arrival there was a S.Antonio feast in the town, with processions and fireworks, but otherwise it is very quiet at night. Nicolosi has nice restaurants if you are tired of cooking but the kitchenette does give you a chance to try your own version of Sicilian cuisine.

If you are afraid of Sicilian drivers, there is always an alternative driving path through Belpasso and Misterbianco which features a new wide road and is less loaded at morning. That one becomes especially handy if you are exploring central and southern Sicilia through Enna and Agrigento.
