“Picciolo Etna Golf Resort impresses with its location, framed by Mount Etna and surrounding vineyards, making the somewhat challenging drive worthwhile. The golf course is well-maintained, though those free-roaming farm dogs might raise an eyebrow. A true Sicilian experience enhanced by genuinely caring service.”
