The cottage is in a great location on the side of Etna as long as you have a car to get around. We used it as a base for the North Eastern towns and to visit vineyards on Etna. The grounds of the property are lovely and it is very quiet so perfect to relax. The larger property on site was unused while we were there which was great, but there would be enough privacy even if both were used simultaneously. Amedeo was extremely helpful during our stay. We had a slight hitch with WiFi one evening and he drove out quickly to help us fix it! We would stay here again and recommend it to friends/family.
