    As a place to get a great closeup Etna experience, this is the best. We arrived the day before our Mt. Etna climb and it was so convenient. Coupled with a very good breakfast and a restaurant that served one of the best dinner’s in our 24 day...

    Location is right there at the bottom of mount Etna where you take the cable car. Restaurant is also nice. A good place to stay if you look to do Etna adventure
