We recently stayed here for a week and had a great time. The apartment itself has everything you need and is a perfect base. The pool and garden is perfect and we had it to ourselves most of the time. I would definitely recommend a car as we found trains and buses weren’t very regular and restricted us quite a lot, but we still managed to get to Taormina and Catania.
The apartment is also straight opposite a lovely beach that was very quiet. I would definitely recommend here for a relaxing holiday and a few day trips out.
