Giancarlo's place looks as amazing as one can see on the photos. It's a very lovely small apartment with pretty much everything one needs and if one needs washing clothes, Giancarlo can help with that too as place doesn't have the washing machine. Apartment is not close to the sea however there is bus going to Giardini-Naxos/Taormina on the street next to the house or less than 10 minutes walk there is train station in Alcantara with trains in both directions which we have used without any problems. And if one has a car and just want to stay in quiet location after being outside whole day this is the right place to be. Giancarlo is helpful and answers very quickly. We have enjoyed our stay:-)
