The townhome is located in a residential neighborhood in the center of Linguaglossa. As such, you will experience life as the locals do: bustling with traffic and activities during the day, peaceful at night.
What I love about the neighborhood is that you can walk two blocks to grocery stores, butcher shops, deli counters, produce stores, cafes/pastry shops with sidewalk seating in season.
You can purchase prepared fare from a tavola calda or dine at a fine white table cloth restaurant up the street.
You can walk to banks (ATM), post office, pharmacies, and first aid station.
Linguaglossa, population 5,000, is a quaint town on the foothills of Mt. Etna. It is located at 550 meters (1600 ft.) above sea level and enjoys a unique microclimate: warm/hot during the day, cool in the evenings. It is 20 minutes from Mt. Etna and Taormina, 20 minutes from the sea and 50 minutes from Fontanarossa, the airport at Catania.
From Linguaglossa as a base, you can experience eastern Sicily by taking day trips to the Alcantara Gorges, Taormina, Messina, the Aeolian Islands to the north east; Catania, Piazza Armerina, Caltagirone, Siracusa, Noto, and Agrigento to the south east.
Many quaint and historical small towns from the Ionian sea coast to Enna in-land are a day trip away. Not to be missed is the town of Savoca, the setting for a scene of Francis Ford Coppola’s "The Godfather", the medieval town of Randazzo, and the hill-top town of Agira, near Enna, once a thriving Greek colony and today the site of “Sicilia Outlet Village” with its 100+ stores of well known brands.
