Paolo has been a very kind host. He offered us a flat downstairs with ample space outside with a nice terrace. Unfortunately the flat inside was very small, one light in the bathroom didn't work and the kitchen was not well equipped. The house we stayed was located in a fenced area with other three houses where other family members lived. We always felt very safe. The beach is only five minutes away by walking. Syracuse is only 20 minutes away by car, but the very best was a the walk through the canyon and a bath in the cassibile river.
