We had a lovely few days staying in one of Claudia's cottages. They are small, but have everything you need, with a nice space outside to BBQ if you fancy it. The cottage is right on the coast and there is a private beach. You access this down a spiral staircase and it's all rocky so make sure you take water shoes! The location is great for exploring areas like Etna & Taormina, but you will need a car to get around! Great trip, thank you!
