We had a great stay at Francesco's apartment. His friend met us at the station at Giardini-Naxos and we followed him to the apartment where he showed us around. The apartment was clean and well set up - our three teens each had a sofa bed in the sitting room. We enjoyed being able to use the balcony to eat and we all loved the pools. We would advise future guests to wear beach shoes when swimming in the sea due to there being sea urchins on the rocks. The only problem we had was the noisy neighbours who were there for 3 of our 5 nights and kept very different hours to us, but that is obviously out of Francesco's control!
