The host Danielle and his family were great! The place is located very close to the main highway and a very short trip to the beach area. This is a great location for visiting Taormina about 7 to 10 minute drive and Catania which takes about 20 to 25 minutes. The apartment is quite large and very clean! It has has an excellent kitchen which is very new! There is everything in the kitchen to prepare a meal, large oven, 5 burner stove top, electric kettle, waffle machine, microwave and all the utensils needed! There are more than enough pots and pans and other cooking items at your disposal. The bathroom is also quite large and the tub is great for bathing a baby or for an adult relaxing after a long day! To us heating is very important and this apartment has radiators and keeps the place quite warm on the cold nights. The bedroom which again is quite large has a great amount of room to hang or put your clothes away from your suit cases... The other bedroom which we used as a living room has a big screen TV with many cable channels and became a playroom for our little one. You have a brick patio off to the side of the bedroom and kitchen that is a great play area for a little child and offers a great view of the snow capped Etna! It was nice to be able to park out auto behind the gate of the property and not have to leave it on the street like a lot of other apartments offer. The internet was OK for our needs and we really enjoyed our stay here in Daniele apartment. The neighbor hood is similar to any other neighborhood in Sicily and you could walk to a small store or drive for about 6 minutes to reach a larger super market. We would stay again in this apartment and thank the host for an enjoyable time.
