We had a great time at Santa Tecla. The hosts had a very warm welcome for us and the communication was very easy. The view out of the kitchen and living room is amazing. You see the beautiful terrace and the sea. Best place to have a great breakfast. The next big city is Acireale which is basically 5 minutes away. If you want to Catania or Taormina plan more than 30 minutes ride. So be prepared to have a car. That makes life much easier in this apartment. We also experienced two restaurants close to the airbnb and they were amazing. All in all: definitely recommended!!
