Great location and great host!
You need a car to move around, but the appartament is in a very nice and quite location with a great view of the Etna. In 30 minutes you can reach Taormina, Catania, le Gole dell'Alcantara and the Etna in less then one hour.
Giusi and her husband have been very helpful, welcoming us with fresh fruits and providing us with lots of information. They have been very responsive to all our requests.

I highly recommend this place if you want to discover the East side of Sicily
