Luigi's house is in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood. Mt Etna is straight out the back porch, ten minutes drive to the cable car to climb Mt Etna. Easy access if you have a car to travel around the main attractions. There are no shops or restaurants within an easy walk so a car is essential. Motorways are near by so moving around is easy. Luigi left a basket of coffee and sugar for use, there was plenty of room for us, 4 adults and if the mood takes you, you can practice your piano lessons as my 2 daughters did, they are not very good but it was OK. We were all tired after conquering Mt Etna and Luigi allowed us a late check out so we could recover a little bit more. A wonderful host. Definitely worth staying.
