Rossella is sweet and thoughtful. She explained the expresso machine and provided lots of towels. You know, the essential things when you are at the beach. The apartment is bright, large and well equipped. The view is heavenly. The coast at Acireale is magical. It's where Etna meets the water, black rock pools full of small fish and corals. Bring your goggles! This small community is really Sicily on holiday - children can run around, grandparents are strolling together, old ladies sit talking, young folks pass you despite the narrow roads, on their Vespas. There are small restaurants close by. If you want nightclubs you evidently need to drive to Taormina. Catania airport is about 30 minutes away.
