Located on the outskirts of town with an unobstructed view of Mount Etna, this is an ideal base for skiing or visiting other attractions. It's toasty warm in the winter with a great shower, firm beds and a kitchen that's fine for cooking basic meals. Debbie was exceptionally helpful, buying groceries in advance for us because we were arriving late on new year's eve, leaving gifts of delicious homemade wine and pastries, and organising plenty of snow just in time for our arrival. Carmel, a friend of the family, was a superb host, ensuring we had everything we needed and treating us as special guests. And the family dog provided the kids with no end of fun.
