We stayed for 4 nights at signor Francesco’s house in Linguaglossa and we regret that our tight holydays schedule forced us to leave. Linguaglossa represents an excellent hub for short and easy trips in the surrounding area : climbing the northern face of Etna (by car of course), visiting Taormina (wonderful views but too touristic to our taste), Randazzo (quite a revelation) and other sites mentioned in the travel guides. Signor Francesco’s house, surrounded by an artistically and carefully manicured garden, is on the top of a small hill. Outside, a table and comfortable chairs give a large view on the mountains to the north. Quite impressive are the distant, large, solidified lava flows. The house is surrounded by carefully maintained vineyards and olive orchards. Inside, the comfort is present in each aspect. Perfect for restful stays. A jewel ! This is not to mention Mrs Francesco’s warm hospitality starting with a bottle of his very good wine and a lot of useful information : where to go and even where to find the best sausages (and he was right).We warmly thank him.
We wholeheartedly recommend a stay of at least a few days at this place.
