The loft is exactly as pictured in the description on AirBnB. It was impeccably clean and VERY well appointed. There were pots/pans/dishware and everything that you'd need to prepare a full meal. And, of course, since you are in Italy there was even an espresso maker. Antonio was even thoughtful enough to leave some welcome snacks and a bottle of wine and water for us.

Acireale perhaps isn't prominently mentioned in tourist guidebooks, but we used the city as a base for exploring Catania (city), Taormina and Mount Etna without any issues at all. Since it is in right in the middle of all of those places the location is very central with good connectivity to major highways and the Catania-Messina autostrada.

The loft is very comfortable it feels like you are staying at your best friend's place because of all of the personal touches. It's not like a lot of the AirBnB places that feel like ersatz hotel rooms for hire. The heating system worked well for us in the winter which is something that we had found lacking while staying at other accommodations in other parts of Sicily. The loft comes with it a private and gated parking spot so that you don't have to park on the street. This is a huge plus for travelers using rental cars.
