Domenico's apartment is compact, newly refurbished and VERY clean - the big balcony overlooking the sea (the beach is 2 minutes away on foot; pebbles but wonderfully crystal water; showers; bar with typical Sicilian food across the road) is an extra bonus. Roccalumera is a good base to explore east Sicily (Catania, Taormina, (Castelmola, Alcantara Gorges, Savoca - via Taormina), nearby beach towns) by public transport as the train station is a short walk from the flat. The apartment comes with no air con but has an electric fan - it's not an issue when there is some breeze but may be a bit difficult on breezeless nights. Domenico is very contactable and responds to messages in seconds; his mum, who lives next door is a lovely lady who doesn't speak English but is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. We really enjoyed our 5 nights there and would recommend the place for 3-4 adults - thank you again Domenico!
