Tony's mum Cettina was the main host for the stay, but we did meet Tony on the first night and twice more during the week we were there. Cettina is lovely, as is her home. She made breakfast every day (consisting of bread, cheeses, boiled eggs, coffee and pre-packed croissants). We didn't have a car, but the train station (Alcantara) is about a 7 minute walk away and the train to Taormina takes about 5 minutes or less. The neighbourhood is pretty quiet and full of locals. There's a supermarket a short walk away to stock up on essentials (sun lotion etc - prices for this stuff in Taormina or local beaches will always be extortionate). Local buses are incredibly infrequent and the last bus back is always quite early - around 10pm, so having a car would definitely help. Likewise, the last train back from Taormina is around 10 - renting a car would probably have allowed us to stay out a bit longer, but cabs are plentiful in Taormina and cost about €15 for the journey. Overall, a really pleasant airbnb, and Cettina was a very lovely host.
