What you see is what you get : a very comfortable, clean apartment in a small residence on a magnificent coastline with huge balconies giving a front row seat to the amazing view of the Sea below and the massive smoking volcano, Mt. Etna, rising above the city of Catania below. You can swim in the ocean after walking down winding stairs to the rugged coast, or swim in the lively salt water pool. There's not much going on in the neighborhood as far as restaurants or shopping go, and our car seemed indispensable. Siracusa is 30 minutes away, to climb Etna only an hour drive, but visiting the Baroque towns was a long haul. But we were fine just hanging out in the apartment, in the water and enjoying the beautiful view.
