We loved this place! The location is serene and beautiful- you can step outside and watch Etna’s craters steaming, walk just a few minutes to great hiking and biking trails, and it is away from the busy tourist area. We walked about 45 minutes from here to get to the cable car which takes you closer to the summit craters. It is also accessible without a car- we took the AST bus from Catania Centrale, and the driver dropped us off about 8 minutes walk away and picked us up in the same spot.
This is a fantastic way to experience the many landscapes of Etna instead of just the tourist area near the summit. The apartment itself is clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed to cook. The appliances are modern and the apartment is recently renovated. Alessia was so generous and accommodating, and gave us all the tips we needed. We stayed four nights and wished it were more. We can not recommend this place enough! Thank you Alessia!
