“Tra L'Etna E Il Mare B&B struck me as a place prioritizing genuine hospitality; the hosts seem to go the extra mile, even accommodating complex booking arrangements with a refreshing flexibility rarely seen in larger hotels. The location, while not directly in the center, provides a quieter experience, a short walk away from the bustle.
