Valentina was so welcoming and so responsive. There was welcome wine and snacks that helped us throughout the week e.g. tea, coffee, juice. She (and her family) were so hospitable and kind to us even when there was a bad storm and we didn't know how we could get to the airport!! Location is spot on. Close to beach, restaurants, bus stop to Taormina etc. Beds v comfy and the AC is great to have on hot days. Valentina helped make recommendations and I felt very comfortable in asking her for any help. A wonderful host!
