Elena and Gianfranco are very kind and helpful hosts! Elena always answered quickly and gave us al the informtion we asked for. They also gave us some good recommendations about what to visit and where to eat etc.
The loft looks exactly like the pictures show - a bright and also very clean accommodation.
A small beach is not even 2 minutes away, a beautiful sandy beach about 20 minutes. Giardini is a small, pretty place and an excellent starting point to discover Sicily's east cost. As already mentioned in other comments: don't forget to do the Etna tour and the following wine tasting with Gianfranco, highly recommendable and thanks again for this!
