Giovanni is a great host. Very helpful and kept in touch throughout the booking to make sure everything was going well and we had everything we needed. He also provided excellent local tips for breakfast and dinner, all of which were delicious. The location is great for a base to see everything on the East coast of Sicily - we did Taormina to the North and Noto/Syracuse/Ortigia to the South and all were easily reachable by car from here (max time was 1.5 hours to Noto). Although it was too cold to use the pool at the time we were there, it is kept in excellent condition and cleaned every morning. Place is completely secure and the media room is great for any rainy days. Final bonus point is the incredible view out to Catania and Syracuse from the living room. On a clear day you see the whole coastline and could literally stare at it for hours. Great place, great host - thanks Giovanni!
