Lovely apartment! The private balcony looks directly over the sea and gets lots of sunshine. There are plenty of lovely restaurants (with delicious fish) and bars nearby. The beach is a stones throw away and the sea very nice for a swim. It’s about 45min walk to Taormina beach (along a road unfortunately) but there is plenty of local transport. Lots to do in the area- would recommend mountain biking on Etna and a walk up to castel mola- really beautiful! Emanuela is a very responsive host and keen to help out. She gave us lots of advise on things to do in the local area (despite our not speaking a word of Italian).
Worth noting you can get a bus direct from Catania airport which stops more or less outside the door. Good value for money too.
Thanks Emanuela for a wonderful holiday!
