Gio's place is well situated to travel around Sicily. We were able to visit Cefalu, Enna, Agrigento, and go to Etna.
The one thing that is not mentioned in the description is that there is a highway right above the house so at night it was quite loud, but we purchased some earplugs.
Otherwise Gio was very welcoming. He even greeted us with some fresh fruit. We had everything we needed in the apartment.
