We loved staying at this property. It is as described. It was modern and super clean with everything we needed. The huge balcony was great for meals or just relaxing. The beach is just across the road. The close proximity of bus stops and the train station was great. Taormina is just a short train ride and bus trip…very easy. We also drove to the villages around the base of Mt Etna easily from here. Catania is just an hour’s train ride and we preferred that to driving in Catania. There is a small supermarket just down the road and a bigger one only 15 min walk away. Parking is on the street. The street along the beach has free parking all day. We didn’t have trouble parking and we used the train often. Would definitely stay here again. Our hosts were lovely, communication was easy and we appreciated their welcome gift.
