We loved our stay here. The apartment was perfect. Great location and great view from the spacious balcony. You can see a bit of the ocean, a tiny bit of Mt. Etna, and of course the Duomo and piazza. The grocery store is about a 2 minute walk away and countless restaurants and shops are all around you. This is a perfect location to explore the town, and we felt like locals while relaxing on the balcony enjoying the sun and a bottle of wine. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot and strong. We stayed three nights but could have easily stayed three weeks!
