We stayed in Mari&Marco's beach apartment in the first half of March 2016. The two biggest advantages of this place for us were 1/ the proximity of many interesting sights (Taormina, Etna, Syracuse) and 2/ the beach that starts just where the terrace ends. Our 3 kids ran to the beach as soon as they got up and we could always see them from the apartment.
The apartment is pleasant and provides all you need (and more!)
Mari&Marco are nice hosts, they greeted us upon arrival and explained us what we needed to know (also they prepared a very useful grocery welcome package for us:) They also checked daily if everything was fine.
We loved our stay here and hope to be back one day!
