B&B about 1/4 up Mount Etna. The draw for me was the location; about a half hr by car to the north side peak access (Piano Provenzana). Quiet, secluded, location with gated parking. They have a good system to give you anytime access without needing coordination (remote for gate) once checked in. Very generous, substantial breakfast (cold cuts, cooked egg, toast -- not just a single Cornetto as many other places). Decor is spartan but functional. Some things are a little dated but it is a house in the mountains. Milo is also pretty quiet -- I was there on a weekend but there was a festival and most of the few restaurants were closed. Google routed me to the wrong address and you won't see the sign if you come up from Giarre directly (the sign is more visible coming from Milo). My host spoke little English (and I spoke less Italian) but he was attentive and helpful and went the extra mile when I discovered that my two-prong Europe plug did not work in Sicily. I would definitely stay again if I ever return to Etna.
