We had a lovely stay at the Etna Bike Holiday property. The view was spectacular and there was always enough space around the pool. The hosts were very friendly and the breakfast exceptional. Giovanni, the owner, even prepared lovely homemade gluten-free cakes for me every morning and we stayed for 10 days! We also received good advice for bike tours and my husband could rent a bike directly from the property. We stayed on the top floor and had no sea view but a Mount Etna view from the huge roof terrace. We were surprised that there was a small kitchen with a dining room that we were allowed to use for eating and storing food in the fridge (cooking was not allowed) since we had only booked the room and not an apartment. This was very convenient for lunches. If you are not afraid of walking uphill, you can walk into the town center within 10 minutes which mainly offers restaurants, a lovely sea view and is very lively in the evening also with locals. For shopping other than food, you need to go to bigger towns, like Catania or Syracuse (which is a lovely day trip!). The hosts speak English, but not very well, so some Italian knowledge is advantageous, at least this was the case in 2019 when we stayed there.
