We loved our stay at Giulia's. Home has everything you could possibly need, lovely terrace with a sea view and a beach is 2 mins walk away! And because we were visiting off season - the beach was completely ours:)
Catania is around 40 mins drive away, Augusta about 15 mins - so it's a nice middle ground for visiting near by towns if you choose to. You definitely need a car to move around (or take a train to Augusta?) It's clean, it's quiet - perfect place for your holiday switch off.
