Lucio’s apartment is awesome. Very spacious, very clean, well equipped (perfect air conditioning, laundry machine, cable TV in every room...), very quiet, with excellent bedding and modern furnitures. We had a great stay with our two kids and our toddler.
Lucio is a great host, very responsive and flexible, very thoughtful too.
Only downside is the location. Great if you have a car (Taormina is a 30 minute drive, Acireale likewise, you reach Etna Sud in under an hour), but there is not much to do at a walking distance: nice beach at about 3-4km, Riposto itself has limited dining, visiting or shopping options to offer, which means you really need a car.
