It was really great stay at Antonio's place. Acireale is small city about 15 minute train ride from Catania. If you wanna experience truly Sicilian atmosphere, this place is perfect in the center of the city. The apartment has everything that you need and it is spotless clean. Train station is about 20 min walk from the apartment, which wasn't any trouble for me. Surely you can also catch local bus that will take you to the station but I din'd mind walking. Acireale have direct train connection to Syracuse, Taormina, Messina and many other great places to visit. To summarize it - Antonio's place is perfect base for your trips in Sicily and experiencing local life.
