We did not meet Dan Directly but we had a great experience with his father who accommodated us into the house. The place was nice and how we expected it, Valverde is in a great position if you want to visit places such as Taormina, Giardini Naxos and also Siracusa is well connected from there!!! And we have to mention the wonderful views from the terrace; We had an amazing dinner under the moon light!!!
