Stefano was a very good host, when we contacted him, he was very responsive. However, be aware that the island doesn't allow you to use two main electrical appliances at the same time, we popped a fuse by having the hair dryer and the A.C. running at the same time. And, for people who love taking long showers, don't. The water will go cold after 5-10 minutes. If we ever decide to come back to back to Syracuse, we will definitely be staying at Stefano and Ivana's.
