The place is spacious with all you need to cook, wash your clothes and have a good base to explore all the grest towns and around Etna.
There are always advantages versus disavantages. With a car this is great for parking closeby and the roads out of town to visit the area are just there.
The apartnent is, however, a fair hike up to the old part of Bronte.
On the ground floor of the apartment block is a care centre for children. They also host children's parties, one happened during our stay. The noise was happy, laughing and fun and as it's chikdren finished about 9pm. All reasonable, we just would have prefered to have been warned/notified.
