If you have a car, this is the perfect place for a trip to Etna. Irfan was very nice and communicated well with us. When we arrived, he kindly showed us where to hike and lent us a map for the next day. The apartment was very picturesque, all wooden and we really felt like being in the mountain. After our hike the next day, Irfan let us have a final shower before leaving which saved our lives!
Concerning the hike if someone needs info, the funicular only opens at 10am and most hiking groups will not start before 10:30am so you have plenty of time to enjoy your breakfast with a view on the volcano.
Thanks again Alessia and Irfan for making our trip to Etna one of the best memories of our journey!
