Great place and we were received by Antonio parents who waited for us late in the evening. The apartment has anything you would need and more than that, maybe some mosquito nets would be the only improvement :)
the underground parking is great, also a public beach (wide and free beach areas) is very close. The water was kind of cold due to the fact it is very deep close to the shore, but later in the summer i think it will be great.
Unfortunately the city was not on our taste (too commercial, too piled up), but is well positioned for reaching Taormina and other places around the coast.
