My boyfriend and I had a pleasant 3-night stay at Gianni's property. The mountainside location is quite beautiful, and the apartment was cozy and charming. We only met Gianni briefly but he was kind and helpful. For exploring the area around Mt. Etna the location is great, just make sure you have a car that can handle the steep roads! We would certainly recommend visiting this area, the views are stunning and there are many picturesque little towns and villages to explore.
