Although we did not meet Francesco he was a great communicator. His mom actually met us at the apartment and was very nice and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment. They were very sweet and left us some simple breakfast stuff which was much appreciated after our long trip. The location is great. Just a 20 minutes drive from the Catania airport and away from the tourists. The only thing I want to note for guests is, this little beach town is crazy packed with people on the weekend when the weather is good. So just be advised that once you get there you may just want to enjoy the beach on the weekend and not battle the crowds to get in and out of the neighborhood. However, I will say that Francesco has a gated parking space which was wonderful and very helpful. Would definitely stay again!
