The place is as it looks in pictures, the bed is comfortable and Carmelo was responsive and very interactive on messages. Also, he waited us about an hour at the apartment for the check-in, we very much appreciated this.
The kitchen is well equipped. It is very easy to do the groceries in Sant'Alessio. The location is 30 minutes away by car from Taormina, it seemed a bit longer than we expected. But on the good side the town is more quiet than Taormina and the seafront is very nice for a walk. Also, good restaurants and pretty lounges are close to the apartment.
If you go visit mount Etna, take the full trip option (cableway+ 4 wheel vehicle + guide). The guided hiking part is the most spectacular.
