Even though we didn't meet Andrea, he offered everything to make our arrival smooth, including a timertable for the busses from Catania. Upon our arrival we met Samuela, who was so very sweet, gave us food and something to drink, showed us arround and provides directions for a trip to Mt. Etna - so sweet! The apartment itself is a place where you instantly feel at home. It is HUGE and it is so cozy and offers everything. We enjoyed the stay in the small town very much, where - it seems - tourists are not very common. Plus, it is quite easy to explore Etna from Mascalucia. We were very sad that we only stayed for two nights and would definitely recommend staying here. Five stars on all levels!
