What a great place and fabulous host. I don't speak much Italian and Marco doesn't speak English, but he always brought someone who does to make communication easier. The apartment is very clean and Marco provides everything you might need. The location is perfect! Torre Archirafi is the neighborhood in Riposto. The apartment is just one block from the sea shore and there is a beautiful "boardwalk" that runs about 2 miles, down to the port of Riposto. The evening is so nice and so safe to walk there and everyone is out walking. There are numerous places to eat along the boardwalk and gelato cafes and places for a late night snack or cocktail. I didn't have a car, and it is a little distance to the bus stop but I really enjoyed my walk to the bus stop and train station everyday. If you have a car, there is plenty of parking right at the apartment. You are very close to the historic center of Riposto, an easy bus trip to Taormina, a fun Circumetnea train that goes around Mt. Etna. I loved it here. I highly recommend Marco's place and it is a very good value. Thanks Marco!
