We absolutely loved our stay at Gianluca's apartment. Prior to arriving he was great at responding to our questions and providing recommendations, he even helped us arrange a cab ride to and from the airport in Catania. The location was great, it is just across the street from the cable cars that go down to the beach, and around the corner from the main streets of Taromina. We happened to go during one of the busiest weeks of the year, so a couple of nights we avoided the crowds and ordered dinner from Gianluca's delicious restaurant Trattoria da Nino and ate on the balcony. Great place for amazing views, a great host, and great food from his restaurant too!
