Francesca's place is just fantastic, even better than expected from pictures. It's a very spacious and clean apartment but the best part is of course the view and the location! You are practically on the beach and the big balcony has sun all day long. We mostly went out to eat in Acitrezza and Catania, there are fantastic restaurants in the village, a special mention to Da Federico, just perfect! We had rented a car and made trips to Taormina, Etna and Catania. It's a 30 min. car ride to the centre of Catania and about 45 mins. to Taormina. But the Acitrezza village itself is just lovely, especially at sunset if you walk out to the mole, the fishermen's boats and the pink colours of the village and the opening sea. Francesca was very helpful and everything went smoothly. I cannot recommend this place enough!
