We stayed at Livio's appartment for 16 days. It was really happy time. Livio is very hospitable, attentive and delicate host! The appartment is fantastic with sicily spirit in each detail, very nice, comfortable and cozy. There is a beautiful view of the sea from the terrace of the apartment. This place is so romantic with black rocks and sea lagoons between them. You can spend all day on the terrace – have a breakfast at the morning, take a sun bath in the afternoon, have a romantic dinner in the evening and when the night comes – rest in a hammock, hearing sounds of the sea. Anytime of your day you can come down and in a minute reach a sea and swim. From the other side of the house you can see Etna, so we could watch its eruption a little from the yard in the evening. If you rent a car Stazzo is a good place to see surroundings (take a trip to Etna, reach Catania, Taormina, Acireale, Riposto etc.). About shops: don't forget about siesta (from 1 pm till 4 pm). You can buy some food in a little shops in Stazzo or make a bigger purchase in Carrefour in 10 min in a car in St.Tecla. In Stazzo you can find a delicious pizza (La Fornace – from 8.30 pm), take a meal in restaurant La Conchiglia in the bay. We advise to visit this beautiful place and stay in Livio's nice appartment in order to have a complete rest without any problems. Livio, thank you very much and best wishes to your charming family!
