Domus Verdiana

Breakfast was great and the hosts took really good care of us! We had a very pleasant stay!

The host made our experience unparalleled. Vincenzo, his wife and the rest of their family are very genuine people and really interested in welcoming the guest at their best, by working with their contacts network for suggesting the very best experiences on mount Etna and its surroundings. We own them credits for the local good spots and wineries too. The structure is tidy and clean, surrounded by an amazing garden with olive, figs and other fruits' trees. And the weather is way cooler than in the city centers, especially during the hot Sicilian summers. I really hope them the best, and this location to be preserved from massive tourism.

Everything was perfect! Our was short but just amazing!

There was nothing we didn’t like!

Very convenient for Etna. 20-30 minutes drive away. Property is basic, rustic, homely and peaceful. For us it was a perfect place to relax after a wonderful day at Etna. Gated, safe and plenty of parking. Close to the village but we just had snacks and wine on a little table outside on the property. Vincenzo and Daniela were very welcoming and provided some lovely homemade treats for breakfast - cakes and jams - as well as other staples (bread, yogurts, ham and cheese). All in all can heartily recommend - great value and convenience for Etna. A tip for Etna - when we arrived there the cable car wasn’t working. We were offered a bus service (for the same price of 54 euros each!!) and a lengthy wait…we decided to walk and see what we could see…and actually we had wonderful views and access to some craters lower down. And there was snow so it was stunning. Not sure what “better” sights are further up but for us it was more than enough, just 20-30 minutes walk from the cable car entrance.

The only thing was I am a very light sleeper and intermittent noise from dogs barking and the fridge in the room (we had the little self contained annex for four of us) made sleep difficult for me (everyone else slept just fine).
