Marco's apartment is beautiful, extremely clean and welcoming. His description is entirely accurate, and we had a wonderful stay here (start of April 2017). He now lives away from Sicily but communicated brilliantly with us beforehand, letting us know how to reach the apartment, the best places to visit and to give his mother's contact details as she looks after the place in his absence.
It was an easy 45minute drive from Catania airport (the bus also goes directly there but no bus or train on a Sunday night) and even though we arrived late we were greater by Marco's lovely mum who led us into a (free) parking spot right outside and showed us around. (Parking by the waterfront is free). So much was provided it was beyond expectations, the fridge contained strawberries, yoghurts, beer, wine, milk, jam, butter, juice...the cupboards included many staples including coffee, tea, sugar, oil, balsamic, biscuits, chocolates and sweets...etc and a full fruit bowl! So very generous that we didn't really have to buy any food for breakfast for the whole 5 days! The large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes was very comfortable, hot power shower and good wifi. Nearby to everything including the little kiosk (out of the front door turn right) to buy bus tickets to Taormina (€3 return). A little terrace out front to enjoy breakfast in the sun listening to the waves (although this will be too overlooked for some but great for people watching!)
A wonderful stay, brilliant hosts and would recommend to anyone
