Non-electric pitch

Liked: I liked the views, the remoteness, no hot water, no electricity, close to etna, location, high altitude, hospitality and the fact we could park the motorcycle right next to the tent. Also a good price for the location.

Disliked: Water flow poor to shower block, the site could be better organised to free up more pitches.

Local attractions

Exploring Etna will be your main mission, of course – if you’re not planning to hike up to the summit (and it is quite a long way up…) you can ride up in the cable car (10 minutes' drive). Nearby, you can also visit the smaller craters (10 minutes) and see beneath the surface at Grotta dei Tre Livelli (15 minutes). There are also plenty of hiking trails around, taking in viewpoints and unusual spots like a house buried in lava. Bring mountain bikes too, if you like, as there are several trails around to test your tyres on. For more outdoor thrills, try the adventure trails, ziplines and quad bike tours from Parco Avventura EtnAvventura Serra La Nave (10 minutes). For a taste of local life and to see some wildlife, stop in at Parsifal Park (10 minutes) on your way down to the village of Nicolosi (15 minutes). And did you also know there are vineyards on the volcano? Learn more at Monti Rossi Etna Wines (15 minutes).
