This charming house is minutes away from the sea and from everything you need. We bought amazing food from various shops in our street which we cooked in the little kitchen or barbeque and we had several amazing meals out too. The ice cream and granita are wonderful here, especially from the sea front. Floriana and her family were friendly and welcoming hosts; always helpful but never intrusive. We loved spending time at home as much as we did out and the air conditioning was a life saver in August. Aci Castello is not at all crowded or but is bustling and very beautiful. You can also walk to Aci Treza in fifteen mintues if you don't mind doing the last five minutes on the main road. We had a lovely family holiday here and I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Sicily away from the tourist traps.
