Our arrival in the morning, some hours before the check-in window. The host Salvatore has kindly allowed us an early check in to the apartment with private bathroom. The main bedroom consisted of a matrimonial bed, and one bunkbed sleeping two persons; the set up was excellent as all the family could sleep in one room. The temperature in Nicolosi was cold, and Salvatore made sure that the apartment was cosy by providing a gas heater in the corridor of the apartment. The bedroom and the bathroom are both equipped with functional ACs. We could stay comfortable in such ambience. I was allowed to park in a gated area of the property so parking was never a problem and with added peace of mind. The breakfast which consisted of super fresh bread, salami and cheese, croissants of our choice, orange juice, milk, coffee; it was a good start of the day. The centre of Nicolosi is just 15 minutes on foot away from Rosso Vulcano, and it offers a good selection of restaurants and grab and go pizzerias. Mount Etna is a 40 minute drive away from Rosso Vulcano, and Catania centre another 40 minutes. Salvatore and his wife greeted us every morning and made sure to meet our needs, even patiently warming up the apartment every day before our arrival. Hospitality was a 10 out of 10.

Nothing fell short during our short two night stay; for a longer stay it would be even better if the kitchen is equipped with coffee making facilities and more utensils. This said, with the breakfast readily available, the amount of restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities to do in the vicinity of Nicolosi, dedicating time in self catering would be a waste of time because there are a number of outlets that are reasonably priced.

The hosts are really lovely people, very friendly and helpful. Parking is available and there is plenty of space. It's a very quiet location and there are some restaurants and a little supermarket within a shirt walking distance. Breakfast was very nice with a croissant, bread and condiments and a very nice cup of coffee. Mount Etna can be reached within 25 minutes. I can recommend this stay and would definitely come back.

There wasn't anything to dislike.

Owned by a couple, it’s clear they put a lot of love into the place. The breakfast in the dining room was simple but lovely, and there was parking on site. 5 min walk into the city centre area.

Kitchen could use some upgrading of pots, pans and utensils and needed a sharp knife and cutting board for cooking.

Ideal quiet location. Comfortable mattress, slept very well 25 mins walk to Etna parkrun. Easy walk to supermarket and town centre and restaurant. Wonderful continental breakfast. Friendly hosts.

Delicious breakfast with lovely juice, served on a quiet terrace under the pines with pidgeons. My hosts were extremely warm and generous and made me feel very much at home. I was very happy here.

Very little not to recommend Rosso Vulcano. I would very happily return!

A nice house short walking distance to Nicolosi centre. Very kind hosts. Very good breakfast. Could park our motorcycles inside the property gates. Recommended.

Nice start point to Etna tour. Safe place to park your car and very nice breakfast
