We arrived at the flat late due to rental car issues at the airport, avoid Goldcar! Freddy was more than happy to accommodate this and showed us around the apartment. There was no issues with parking close to the flat, though things could get busy after 17:30, but we always found a spot. The flat's location is excellent, this is not a touristy area which is really nice. There are some great local bars and restaurants though not to the quantity in Taormina, a stunning local hilltop town rammed with tourists and ample parking.
As stated the flat is an ideal location, a stones throw from the beach which is great for an early evening swim after a day's sight seeing. There are some stunning things to see in this area that are a short drive away. There is also the best bakery 15 meters down the road, this sells the best gelato I have had!
Flat is exactly laid out as the pictures in Airbnb show, Valentano is a great host, though sadly we did not meet. However, she was very responsive to any questions we had and is an excellent host supplying the basics, as well as child care equipment which was used though our trip by our 11 month old. I would describe this as a child friendly home. I would recommend this property to anyone, especially if you have children.
