Marco, Federica and Gabriella were the perfect hosts. Marco picked us up in town. The apartment is in a great location - inside a housing complex with a locked gate, so even the car is in a protected space all the time, which is nice (and the parking literally right in front of the door). The view is truly "stupenda" overlooking the entire bay. One might mind being able to hear the street down the valley, but this is something you will be confronted with along the entire coast, thanks to a coastal highway (with amazing views, though). The apartment is also in walking distance of the beach and the town of Letojanni.

We were welcomed incredibly warmly and everything was provided for - literally anything you could think of. Marco even gave us orange jam and fruit from his farm. The porch is huge - we spent an entire day only up there enjoying the amazing view. It was a great, great pleasure to meet our hosting family.

It is also a great spot for taking trips to the area (one hour to Milazzo for the ferries to the Islands of Lipari) or for hikes to the northern side of Mount Etna.

We completely recommend the apartment and would definitely stay there again as well.
