We had a great stay at Livio's apartment in Stazzo. The location is idyllic, with a beautiful balcony overlooking a rocky shore (complete with a hammock to relax in). The apartment itself is extremely charming and stylish too, with a great kitchen. The complex is highly secure, based in a private gated development and with a patio and even a little gate leading directly to a private sunbathing area on the rocky bay! Stazzo is a small, peaceful village about 20 mins drive from Acireale - a good base if you're looking to explore Mt. Etna and the east of Sicily. We loved Blue Bar in the main square (gelato and brioche here were awesome) and La Fornace pizzeria. Livio as a host was really responsive and helpful - arranging taxi transfers from the train station for us. Thanks Livio for a lovely stay in Stazzo!
