the 'petit chalet' of Mario and Pina is a nice place, beautifully located on the edge of the charming town of Zaferena Etnea. There is a lot of entertainment on the square of the town: that offers a nice view if you go there for a drink and / or a meal. The plume of smoke from Mount Etna is visible from the backyard and that means that small lava chunks regularly descend - without any danger, at most some discomfort for bare soles of the feet. You can make nice walks on the slopes of the Etna, and if you have a car you can make a ride to the sea. We spent some nice afternoons swimming in Sant'Anna. It was great to be able to spent a week at Mario and Pina's place!
