The location was perfect, in a small but very lively (but not noisy) resort. The apartment was right on the sea front and you could use a public bathing platform almost across the road. The beach is rocky but still very nice.

The apartment was excellent with everything you could want including a balcony and a roof terrace as well as good air conditioning, two bathrooms and nice kitchen sitting room area.

Rosella and her son showed us the place and were very hospitable and friendly and we even got a little souvenir of Sicily. They gave us all the information we wanted and left their number with us in case we needed anything else.

We used this as a base to climb up Etna which is about half hour's drive away.

What we liked about the village was that is seemed to be mainly a resort for Italians and it just had a really cheerful atmosphere and a couple of good restaurants. We were told that there are other little towns worth visiting within a short distance but didn't do that ourselves.

Finally there is a locked off street parking spot that can be used if there isn't room on the road outside.

All in all we would highly recommend this to anyone.
