Perfect weeks holiday! Daniele is a great host :)
Thank you Daniele for transforming the old railway station into an Airbnb, views are wonderful, just a short walk to the sea, shops, cafes and all you need are in the village, there are two cash points too.
The bed is so comfortable, we had the pretty double ensuite room with a sweet, tiny terrace overlooking the sea, watching the sun come up with a cup of coffee was special, Daniele has made this place unique with the paint effects, antique furniture and pieces of artwork. Flowers in the room was a lovely touch, the water is clean and safe to drink from the tap, we took our own bottles and refilled all week, such a saving on the environment. Towels and toiletries are provided too.
A kitchen to prepare meals is always a bonus, especially when you can enjoy food with other guests in the garden. Daniele is very generous with his time, and provides a wonderful bowl of fruit and coffee for the mornings, all sorts of tips and advice to make your trip as perfect as possible.
Public transport is good, we took the bus to Catania from the airport and then a taxi to Greenway, a short walk (well lit) uphill from the town/village centre, there is a frequent service daily, Sundays is every two hours.
There is a train station at Cannizzaro which we walked to a couple of times along the seafront, you can always take the bus too, which stops near the station. Taormina is easy to reach by train, just 40 minutes, and then the bus to the town, it is extremely steep! Don't try and walk it!
Catania is a vibrant city, don't miss the market and the Botanic Gardens. Italian ice cream has to be the best in the world, a week isn't long enough to do justice to all the flavours on offer! Prices everywhere are very good, cheaper than other mediterranean islands. 28 degrees in April, what a bonus!
Thank you very much Daniele, it was a pleasure meeting you, I hope my baby Aloe Vera grow, I will do my best to look after them!
