If you are looking for a spot in this area, then this is the place. This was one of our favourite in all of Sicily! We loved walking up to the ocean view and found it hard to move on. The apartment was bright and colourful with everything you need. We enjoyed the walk up the the stairs as a way to wear off off some of the pasta. Gaetano was an excellent host and quick to respond to any questions. Everything worked well. I would stay here again. Restaurant very close by. Great recommendations from Gaetano.
Aci Castillo, where this apartment is located, is a peaceful little town with a nice waterfront to walk. We explored the neighbouring towns, too, along the ocean. It is not from Mt.Etna and Taormina .. interesting for a day explore.
Catania is a very busy city with their own driving rules. It is about 15 minutes by car. We found it a challenge to find parking. It is an interesting city to explore.
Yes, I would highly recommend this location and this apartment.
