Vicolo's mother greeted us at the apartment upon our arrival and gave us the opportunity to practice our rusty Italian. The apartment is in a small, quiet town on the side of Mount Etna, and I would recommend using GPS to find it! The place is modern, very clean and quaint. Excellent view from the upstairs terrace! Not a lot of places to shop in the area, so best to buy any food you would like on your way up the mountain. This place is great to enjoy a quiet retreat on one of the world's more active volcanoes in the middle of delicious wine country.
