Our family (my husband, 2 little kids and my parents) spent a really great time at Letizia's house in the end of September '17. Although we didn't meet Letizia personally - we had a very good virtual contact from the beginning (very fast responses). Letizia and Chiara, who welcomed us at place were both very friendly and helpful. We were provided with a stroller and a bed for a baby. The house is beautiful! It looks much better than on the pictures, it's newly renovated, cosy. There are herbs and plants growing in the garden facing the beach. Our children had great time playing there. We also spent a lot of time on the beach - there were hardly any people in the neighborhood - maybe because of the low season. The beach was sandy and the sea had ideal temperature to swim. If you're looking for a calm place without people to relax in silence - this is definitely a place for you. It's not a touristic place - there's not many shops, bars, cafes in the closest neighborhood, there are lots of abandoned places. But if you only have a car (and you need it so you will) you can get everywhere in 15 minutes. This is also a good place to stay if you want to visit Taormina, Syracuse, Etna or Catania. We also visited Augusta and Brucoli. Casa Sul Mare is a great place to stay - thank you! :)
