We stayed at Daniele's place for 10 days and had a wonderful time. The house and garden are beautiful, and had everything we needed. Our room with balcony overlooked the sea. We could use the kitchen and sit in the garden, and Daniele helped us find a great guide to the Etna (which was the highlight of our trip!). Although walking down the hill to the center of Aci Castello (5 min) was a bit tricky with traffic and no sidewalk, we got used to Sicilian traffic situations. We loved the town of Aci Castello, especially the lively square where the locals gather at night, the castle, and walking along the rocky beaches to Aci Trezza (20 min)!
