We stayed with a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids of 8 and 10) at Nicoletta's appartment. The appartment is small and cosy and exactly as on the pictures. It was also very clean. The big terrace was the ideal place to enjoy your evening or to have breakfast with a view on the Eolian Islands. The pool and beach were never crowded (we were there from 19-26 August). A plus is also that you get 2 sunbeds and an umbrella just for you so you never have to look for a place to stay on the beach. There are pleny of supermarkets (but you need a car to reach them, about 10-15 minutes) in the near vicinity. Plates, cups, cuttlery, towels, ... everything was provided. Nicoletta is a perfect host: always responding very quickly to all our questions, before and during our stay. The appartment is located in a club (Villa Ridente Club) so you can make use of all the facilities of the club (pizza service, restaurant, beach, pool, the shows at the amphitheater, ...). We explored Taormina, Etna, Gole del Alcantara, Eolian Islands ... from there (all about 2-2h30 drive). The only remark is that there is very bad to no wifi there although we did not mind (but the kids sometimes complained :-) ). All in all, we really enjoyed staying there! Thank you Nicoletta!!
