A really nice and spacious apartment which is ideal for families with children. The kitchen is well equipped to cook your own meals. The bed and bath rooms have a low ceiling on the far endof the rooms, but this did not bother us (only be careful not to hit your head). Actually, the kids really liked the low ceiling. There is also a balcony with a view of the Etna. Parking you car outside was never a problem. We're always able to find a parking spot.
We arrived very late and also later than expected. This was not a problem. Upon arrival the host provided some basic food for diner and breakfast, so we did not immediately have to go out to get some. In case you do need to do some groceries there is a discount supermarket 'ARD' is nearby (walking distance).
The apartment is close to the beach of Giardini-Naxos (approx 1 km), the lovely town of Taormina and 45 min drive from Catania airport. I would recommend to have access to a rental car to get around easily.
Overall I would highly recommend the apartment to anyone that wants to explore the east side of Sicily.
