We stayed in Salvatore's flat for 3 nights which was very comfortable for the two of us. First it was difficult to find it but Salvatore's mum managed to find us instead.The flat had all we needed: the kitchen was well equipped, there were plenty towels etc. We made a good use of the balcony where we had our breakfasts - it's a good size and it overlooks Etna. The beach is 5 min walking distance and it's a very nice and not too crowded beach with a mix of sand and pebbles. Gardini Naxos is a 10 min driving distance where all the restaurants are ( we highly recommend La Cucina del Palladio with a roof terrace with a sea view -the food and service were amazing and very good value for money) We went to Sicily in October and enjoyed the low season with free parking and nearly empty beaches. It was still between 25 - 30 degrees so for us from London that is the perfect holiday temperature.
