This place is extraordinary, with its green backyard and adjacent lagoon providing relief and refreshment during hot Sicilian days. The apartment is well equipped and clean.
Riposto is a small fishing town with authentic and kind people. From this place you can visit Taormina, wineries, Alcantara Gorge and the Etna. We used mainly train station (20min walk) and taxies, but in retrospect, a rental car could come in handy (though Sicilian traffic can be intimidating).
The host is a great guy who would help you with any questions or for advice.
