We spent a wonderful week at Giovanna's property. The location is perfect. It's the right side of town for the bus station and cable car to the beach, and although it is very near shops, bars and restaurants the apartment is 3 floors up so it isn't noisy. The views from the terrace of the Greek theatre and the sea are amazing. The apartment has everything you need and Giovanna is always on hand and more than happy to help you to enjoy your stay. I recommend contacting Giovanna if you want to do any excursions. We did a Mount Etna sunset tour and a day trip Syracuse, both unmissable and at a very good price. Thank you Giovanna for being a great host! We'll be back!
