Great stay! We really enjoyed our stay at Raffaello’s place - he was extremely helpful with any issues/queries we had and was great at making recommendations for the local area. The flat itself was spacious and tastefully designed. The second bed was in the lounge/kitchen but based on the size of the room you felt like you had privacy. There was not a washing machine/oven so that could be an issue if you plan on staying longer, but we managed to make do with cooking on the hob & having lots of salads. The place itself is in beautiful grounds with the pool being a short walk from the flat. You are quite close to the other residents but that was not too much of an issue. You definitely need a car when staying here! We flew into catania and then drove from there and would take day trips to nearby towns/beaches - Taormina was our favourite. You can get taxis however it’s really difficult (they need to be booked a day in advance) and they are very expensive! We spent €250 for a 1hr 30 round trip. Overall we had a great time and would revisit, however would hope there were a couple of additional amenities like an oven/washing machine if staying longer.
