Chiara's house is stunning and is perfectly located with a little rock pool for swimming with the locals just across the road, and a handful of lovely local restaurants and cafes around the corner. We had a car and parking on the street was free and easy. A perfect location for a big group of friends or family- we used this as a base to explore mount Etna, Taormina and Acireale, which were all easy access by car. Highly recommend!
