We had a great stay at Michele's place. First, he is a very kind and enthousiastic person who made sure we had a smooth trip and stay at his house. He even made a reservation at a great restaurant after our late inbound flight. He is there when you need anything, but isn't when you don't. Second, the location is great with an absolutely beautiful view. The appartment is simple, clean, cool (airco), and has about everything you need. It's also a quiet spot as it is at the end of the neighborhood. We even cancelled some of our plans in order to be around the house more. You will need a car in order to get places as the nearest town is about a 10min drive, but is ideally situated in between mount etna and the sea.
