Marco and his father provide excellent accommodation in a area that has many amenities particularly food shopping and restaurants etc. It is a 20 minute walk to the old town part of the city which comprised beautiful piazzas and streets. It is a vibrant city and a great place to spend time. It has a great buzz and it offers lots of sightseeing opportunities with a 60 - 90 minute time such as Syracuse, Mt Etna rail journey and Taormina. It also has a lengthy beach accessible within a few Km's. I would highly recommend both the excellent accommodation and the sightseeing opportunities.
