Jason T.
It’s a great spot for visiting Etna, especially in summer. The apartments are country style, very clean, and have a kitchenette and fireplace. We were given wood and the weather was cool enough that we decided to light the fire. The place is high up at 1.7k meters, so it’s nice and fresh. It’s right by the Etna cable car and summit tour, which takes you up to 3k meters to see the volcanic craters near the top. The location is perfect for exploring, and the host and management were really helpful and gave us lots of information. Great if you have children. I’ll have to come back!

The nature around the apartment is simply stunning, and the place itself was a decent size with a large terrace. We originally planned to stay one night, but extended our visit soon after arriving. If you're staying in Etna National Park, I don't think you'll find better accommodation. Highly recommended!
Anette L.
A quiet, beautiful place to get away from everyday life and recharge, just minutes from the Mount Etna tourist location. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have everything you need. Reception was welcoming, and they even gave us a room that had just been refurbished. We’ll definitely be back, and recommend it to family and friends. Thank you!
Christian P.
It’s a small complex of separate apartments, some smaller and some larger, with private parking. The hosts communicate really well, and if your plan is to visit Etna while staying somewhere peaceful, this place is hard to beat. We’ll be back!
Simone B.
Our apartment had plenty of beds, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, which worked well for our families. The owners are kind and welcoming. It’s a nice place for reaching the base of the Etna summit, watching the volcano fireworks at night, or taking a calm hike in the pine forest. Recommended.
