This great penthouse is just as lovely and quirky as it looks in the pictures and offers everything you need for a perfect stay on the slope of Etna with a perfect view of the volcano (which was erupting during our visit - we could see the lava glow at night!). The place is quite spacious, particularly the semi-outside terrace is vast. However, the kitchen is on the small side, although it is perfectly possible to cook meals. Brand new gas stove but no large oven (two small ones are available) and no microwave. Like everywhere in Sicily, there can be mosquitoes so bring repellant. The penthouse is located at the top of the house (third floor) with a narrow staircase (no elevator) and access by car is possible but only to stop and load and unload (nearby street parking is available). Be sure to use Andrea's services as a tourist guide, such as for fishing trips or excursions to the volcano. Andrea can tailor tours to your exact needs - we made a short walk up the volcano with a pregnant woman and fourteen month old baby to get closer to the eruption and see the views which worked perfectly - and he is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
