The apartment is only a 10-15 mins taxi ride costing 25E from the airport or just as quick to take the Airport bus for 4E (runs every 25 mins). Francesca kindly met us at the door and took us into the apartment which is up many steps onto 3rd floor. Inside it’s lovely and bright. The bed is up on a mezzanine level above the bathroom accessed by open steps with rails. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and our host left us fresh fruit (oranges) from her garden plus a large array of breakfast goodies etc. We were given some local tips and shown up to the rooftop terrace which is spectacular. Amazing views of MT Etna, the historical landmarks nearby as well as out to sea. 5 mins walk to the fish market and many excellent places to eat or for sightseeing. We went by train to Taormina one day and Siracusa another which were both well worth visiting.
