My stay was amazing. The host was so sweet and very welcoming. She made me feel right at home. The location is about 20 min out of the city. The house is in a gated community and you have your own private beach. It's about one block from the beach. The neighborhood is quite and very calm at night. The location is perfect for a day trips to Catania, Syracuse, and Taormina. You will definitely need a car to get around since the grocery store is one town away. This home is definitely a must stay at if you are looking for something close to the beach and away from the city. The house has all the basic needs. The kitchen and table are outside which make it great for people who love to be outdoors. I definitely felt like I was glamping because we were outside for most of the day. I would definitely recommend this place.
