Mario’s home is just beautiful all around, from the tastefulness of the decor to the show-stopping view from the kitchen/dining room, to the central location in Acireale itself. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, and the beds are extremely comfortable - my husband and I both slept like babies while we were at Mario’s place. It’s also absolutely spotless and so well cared for. Others have commented on the local church bells, and they are definitely part of the local flavor. We enjoyed them. Acireale is also a lovely little city, with lots to discover, and it’s just close enough to slightly more famous tourist spots like Catania, Siracusa, and Taormina. Mario is the most gracious and attentive host, and he also happens to be a lovely human being. I would stay here again in a heartbeat (honestly, I didn’t even want to leave). Thanks for everything, Mario!
