Cristina and Angelo's magic apartment is lovely.
It's perfectly situated: 5 minute walk to the lovely town center of (wonderful not touristic) the beautiful church square, lovely restaurants (delicious food everywhere) plus 'gelati' of course, a 15 minute walk down to a rocky beach and quaint little port. It's also central, perfect to explore the southern part of Italy (Mt. Etna, Taormina, and Siricusa are not to be missed). Make sure you book a small hire car, best for Sicily.
The apartment has everything you need, was immaculately clean, and is decorated with style and taste, lovely colours and clever use of space..books, candles, those little touches that make the difference. We spent a lot of time on the terrace.
Cristina and Angelo are both warm and welcoming. Stay here if you can!
