Daniele's place can be reached using 2 buses from Catania airport (a bus to Catania station followed by another to Aci Castello) if you don't have a car, or by taxi (25-30 euros). There used to be a train station nearby which no longer exists. He has two separate rooms for 2 guests each in a huge property where he grows vegetables. We were well taken care off by his temporary assistant Marquetta who also showed us some sights, stores, and the local wine bar. You can find a litre of home-made wine for 3 euros. The view from the room was fantastic and overlooked the town centre and the sea. There are no sandy beaches nearby but just huge rocks. The locals knew how to make the best of it though. Daniele didn't have a dedicated wireless internet service. He uses his mobile phone as a hotspot, so do all your planning beforehand. He has cats, chickens, geese and peacocks in his property. Overall, it was a great respite from the hustle-bustle of cities and we enjoyed our stay at Daniele's.
