Lovely apartment in a quiet village. It's located in the center of the town. Bakery just a few doors further downstair. Very handy to get your breakfast / lunch there everyday. Freshly baked bread and most of them are tasty!
A private indoor parking space is included which is very handy but we didn't use it much. As the road can get quite busy (it's a single way road and also kind of a main road for the traffic) and many people go to the bakery and park their car just in front of the garage so we couldn't get out that easy or needed to wait. And sometimes the neighbors park their cars in front of it and then you can't get in.
The best way is: park the car outside (it's free!) and choose a small rental car and the side mirrors can be closed.
What we loved the most is the view from the kitchen window. You can see Mt. Etna everyday. The view changes every moment of the day, quite funny to see that! I made a photo every morning via the kitchen window.
October Festival in town was really nice! It was held every Sunday in October. Many people go there and you can buy all kind of local products there.
It's about 45 mins drive to Catania. 1 hour to Taormina. 1.5 hrs to Syracuse.
For rainy days I suggest you to go to some indoor museums or to some of the mega shopping centers with hyper markets (was about 25 mins drive).
Gresi is a nice host. She checked us in and out personally and we've got a bottle of wine. She even bought the washing pods for us when I was just asking if she has it there.
Thank you Gresi!!
