Giovanni and his family are lovely and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their small apartment complex. The views are brilliant, going down to the coast and up to Etna. I would suggest anyone staying to ask for the room in the far corner as you have slightly more privacy and the best views available. The only downside being the wifi becomes a little weak, but that was no disaster for us. The breakfasts were reasonable and Giovanni was happy to provide at whatever time we asked. Their is private parking available, which was extremely handy if you have a car, and local amenities are a short walk away. The one small downside was that the kitchen area is communal so you may have to share if with other guests. That being said, we pretty much had the run of the place for most of the stay so this wasn't a huge problem.
It looks as though Giovanni is building a small gym to add to the complex which will make it even better.
Overall, we felt our experience here exceeded our expectations and was excellent value for money. We would recommend it to couples and groups looking for a relaxed holiday or a well-located retreat from which to go hiking, biking or seeing the sights in Sicily.
