We loved the stay at Ara town, Anything we asked was looked into. We were unable to get the BBQ to work however we did not ask about this. The pool area was lovely and we felt very at home. The apartment was great and we were greeted with cake, croissants and wine which were all polished off. Near by is a shopping center and two supermarkets. We found the location perfect for us as we had a car and could head to Etna, Taormina, Catania and it wasnt far from Syracuse. It was an amazing stay, very welcoming atmosphere and we felt very relaxed and at home. We would definately recommend.
