We stayed af Tony's place (hosted by his Mother) for 2 nights. By car we visited the Etna & Taormina and Noto in the South. If you are flexibel by car this is the place to be, because we had a rental car we prefered the car to be parked secure. Room was good and the bathroom even better!! Breakfast was fine and managed by his mom, very nice and social host during our days despite she don't speaks Englisch it will work out anyway...We did not see Tony anymore after he welcomed us, he is at work during the midweek, but he asked us everyday what we had done and gave some tips to check around near Taormina by texting us. You will get a key of the house so you can acces whenever you want (Taormina is very nice so it could be late :) !!) Conclusion: nice place to stay, his mom is a great host but you need a car to be flexibel in the area!!
