Absolutely lovely hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home! The pool is fantastic especially on a hot day and this apartment was sparkling clean. Note that there is no living room, just a large kitchen. And we only had access to two bedrooms (which was fine for us. The hosts live downstairs with their dogs and cat, their cute little turtle lives in the garden and you may have other guests come stay upstairs (as we did). But otherwise it feels private and secluded. There’s no real view but the area is beautiful and the garden is lovely. You will need a car to go anywhere and to explore the area, but the location between Catania and Taormina near Mount Etna is a good base for exploring. When one of our party needed to leave early and left us without a car, the host was kind enough to drive us to the Catania airport for €70. The hosts don’t really speak English but we had no trouble communicating. Really a wonderful place to stay!
