Peppe is an amazing host whose hospitality comes out naturally. Him and his staff were very welcoming and accommodating to the fact that we had a 1 year old baby. We choose this place because we knew that we would meet other guests and be able to share ideas and experiences for day trips out of Aci Castello, and that's exactly what we got. The highlight was sharing dinner with 7 other people (including Peppe who made us a really amazing dinner) and talking the night away over dinner and wine. The location is perfect for day trips to Taormina, Siracusa, Mt. Etna and Catania. Anyone looking to explore the eastern side of the island should consider staying here.
