Home away from home
Antonella, our host, made sure to make us feel very welcome. She also let us use the kitchen and the fridge which was great and we were allowed to spend time playing board games on the dining room table which was perfect for us. It was just like being at home bur with a lot of peace and quiet.

Friendly and welcoming hotel on the slopes of Etna
I spent three very agreeable nights at Sotto il Vulcano. It is a friendly, family run business which, as the name suggests, is ideally placed for those wishing to explore Etna and the surrounding national park. Antonella is a most welcoming and helpful hostess who is able to advise on all the various options, while her husband specialises in cycling tours. Fortunately for me, non-cyclists are also superbly catered for: there is free parking on site and the hotel is close enough to Catania and the autostrada to make day trips to Syracuse, Taormina etc easy, while offering peace, quiet and mountain air at the end of the day. The small town of Nicolosi has a number of excellent evening eating options within 20 minutes walk though they need to go some to match the breakfast spread provided by Antonella! All in all, I heartily recommend Sotto il Vulcano and will be looking to return there in the future.

Very pleasant stay at "Sotto il Vulcano"
Upon our arrival we received a friendly and warm welcome from our hosts. A lot of information concerning the activities possibile (Etna) was available and they actively organised the expedition. The host's knowledge of the English language was very helpful.. Our stay at "Sotto il vulcano" was thus very enjoyable and restfull. We highly recommand this B&B.

Excellent B&B for Etna
This is a comfortable, clean and welcoming B&B. The hosts are great and treat everyone like family. A great breakfast is served at one big table where there was much talking and lauging - in several languages. Hosts Antonella and Salvatore reminded us many times that they were "at our disposal". They were helpful with planning and very knowledgable about local sites. Kitchen is available for use by guests throughout the afternoon and evening, a small local supermarket is nearby.

Eine super gelegene Unterkunft mit einer herzlichen Betreiberin. Maria hat das mit Abstand beste Frühstück des gesamten Urlaubs serviert. Auch die Nähe zum Ätna ist super. Wir werden auf jeden Fall nochmal wiederkommen.
