Mario's place was the last stop on a trip that took us through Rome, Naples, Amalfi and ending in Sicily--and Mario's home was a highlight of the trip. Not only is the place beautiful (the pictures don't do it justice), it is also large and well appointed. The beds are comfortable, the wifi works well, the AC is fantastic and to top it off Mario's mother made us a cake! Mario was full of fantastic suggestions for places to eat and things to do and was extremely flexible with checkout. The beach is a one minute walk where you can grab coffee and food, soak up the sun or rent kayaks and paddle out to the rocks to show off your best diving. Mario's home was an ideal home base--I look forward to using it again next time I'm in Sicily!
