The apartment itself is lovely. And so is Salvatore!
However, there were a few minor issues that were out of his control. There seems to be a lot of workshops/building works going on, so there was a lot of noise at weird times all throughout the day. Also one of the neighbours likes to blare out techno music at 3 am. Plus, lots of dogs that seem to stay in the Sam spot all day and just bark. Probably because the poor things haven’t been walked.
Only thing about location is that you need to be able to drive to go anywhere and the town of Giarre is a bit rundown.
Despite all of that, the apartment is really beautiful with a stunning view of Mt. Etna. And Salvatore was very nice to us and very helpful. We still had a lovely stay :)
