Beautiful place at the foot of Mt. Etna
We had a great stay. Claudio and his wife were gracious and helpful. On our first night Claudio quickly got us a reservation at a lovely restaurant not far from the house. The house was perfect for us. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and very comfortable for our family of 3. The kitchen is very well equipped. The outdoor living areas were more than anything we could have asked for. Wonderful place!! Thank you so much Claudio.

Gorgeous Villa with wonderful hosts
Location is perfect if you want to be away from the hubbub, so you will need a car. Villa was gorgeous, with great views (came with a resident outdoor cat). The two double rooms and kitchen have their own entrance which all open out to the courtyard (ie they are separate dwellings whereby you need to walk through the outside courtyard to get to each). Dwelling 1 has a double bedroom with en-suite, dwelling 2 has a double bedroom with separate bathroom and a front room with sofa, small table with two chairs and TV. Kitchen has seating for two. Definitely recommend this villa.

Charming Rustic Property
A converted 19th century winery located in a grove of citrus fruit trees made for a relaxing and enjoyable respite during our 3 week Sicily vacation. It was so nice to have peace and quiet after spending days in busy city centers in Palermo and Erice. Great hosts were available when needed but allowed us to have plenty of private family time with our adult daughter. Found some great local restaurants and enjoyed light meals in the kitchen - another nice break from hotel and restaurant food. The local towns nearby were nothing special but the property was close to Catania and Taormina for day trips. A car is required and off street parking is provided.

Beautiful property - great hosts
We had a great time at Etna Independence. Hard to fault except for an issue that is beyond the hosts control and honestly coloured our whole impression of Sicily - there is a terrible problem with litter all over the island and it is a disaster for the tourist industry there Nevertheless if you want a lovely place to stay that puts you in easy reach of Etna and the coast near to Catania then I cannot fault Etna Independence. Thanks so much for a lovely week Claudio and Antonella

A comfortable and stylish annex to a characterful old family home on the lower slopes of Mt Etna.
We had a five day stay here, and it was perfect. The characterful family home sits on the lower slopes of Mt Etna and has a well develped annex for guests. The hosts were warm and committed to making our stay highly enjoyable. We were able to visit Taomina, Mt Etna, a fabulous local winery for lunch, and another quality restaurant in a nearby village. We could also just relax in own section of the extensive garden or on the terrace with views overlooking the sea. The property has easy access to the motorway in the section between between Taormina and Catania.
