Riccardo and his family are absolutely delightful! They made our stay so comfortable and easy. They were incredibly helpful with answering all our questions (in an incredibly timely manner, might I add!) and gave us plenty of information about things to do/see in the area. His place is also very conveniently located, as it is literally next to the bus stop, from where you can catch the bus to Catania/Isola Bella/Taormina. The place itself is smaller than many Westerners might be accustomed to, but by no means is it inadequate. The place is beautiful and homey, which made it so much more comfortable for us while on our travels as well!
