Michael was wonderful to deal with, always getting back to us super fast and going the extra mile to help us with any queries we had. Once we arrived at the apartment, Marika and her father were incredibly hospitable and looked after us so well. It was a wonderful welcome after travelling so far with two young kids. The apartment surpassed our expectations. It is beautifully appointed with all modern conveniences and stylish decor. It is spacious, light and the beds were very comfortable. We made use of the outdoor area terrace quite a bit and the kids ran around the grassed area. It was a lovely spot to sit in the mornings as well as the afternoons. We also ate lunch and dinner on the rooftop terrace overlooking spectacular Mt Etna. The location is very convenient for visiting key areas. We went to Taormina, Alcantara gorge and Acireale. The apartment was always a nice, quiet base to come back to, being away from touristy hustle and bustle. It was also nice to spend time visiting some of the pizzerias/ pasticcerias in the area. Overall, it felt like a very authentic Sicilian experience. Thank you for looking after us so beautifully!
