Our vacation at Dario's place was absolutely wonderful! And there are several reasons why you should book this flat immediately:

1) The house is perfectly located in the center of Giardini embankment area with a lot of fine restoraunts and great landscapes around.
2) A sandy beach (rare in Sicily!) is just 3 min walk from your doors.
3) The flat is even better than you might think from the photos, very cosy, clean and well-furnished. The balcony indeed opens you a seaside view, and at night you can hear whispering of the waves running onto the shore.
4) Last but not least, Dario is a really charming person and a wonderful host. He really took care of us all the time (but never interfered in our plans); for instance, when we had problems with WiFi he fixed it in one day. Dario also took us directly to the airport late at night for a very modest price.

The only thing you should keep in mind is that there's a disco bar on the ground floor, but it's ok when you sleep with the balcony closed (there is air conditioning in the room).

Overall, it's a good house of a good man. :) Enjoy!
