We had an absolutely lovely time staying in Acireale. It's a fantastic spot if you want a real taste of Sicily. We thought the house was stunning. It has been tastefully decorated and is the perfect place to come back to and chill out after a day of sight seeing. We thoroughly enjoyed eating out on the balcony and gazing out to sea. The area is much more reasonably priced than the more tourist heavy Taormina but we would still recommend a day trip or two there. Our host was friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had a nominal fee 18 euros to pay at the end of our stay for out additional electricity consumption but we were informed of this at the start of our and stay and it was a small price to pay for the comfort of the air con. Thanks for a wonderful getaway. We would happily come and stay again.
