My husband and I (& our two small pups) stayed in this perfect little apartment of Gaia's for our 4 day weekend. The pictures are true to life. The location is right on the beach and in a small little town with many restaurants and shops that can all be reached by foot in a couple minutes walking. There's a market too with everything you might need. Her mother met us there and showed us the place, and all simple operations. Gaia even had a little tray of Sicilian sweets waiting of us - which were thoroughly enjoyed! ;) The AC worked great in the main room, and fan in the bedroom was enough for the warm October nights. Yes, even October the weather was warm. This was our first time to Sicily and will not be our last! Gaia and her mother were more than welcoming and perfect hosts for our needs. Giardini-Naxos is the PERFECT vacation town as it is flat, unlike Taoromina, which is up on a hill and can be more cumbersome to get around. We really felt like we found a gem here with this little place. Great running water pressure - although the hot water tank isn't huge, so keep those showers short or at least spread out ;) and you'll be fine. Also - parking is perfect right outside the unit. We brought our car and could see it from the balcony with ease. You can see in some of the pics she provides, even though its not mentioned in the description.
Grazie Millie por tutti! We will be back! :)
