The chalet is in a holiday village a few kilometres south of Catania. The sandy beach is less than 100m away, almost empty weekdays early June.Views from the beach (Etna to the north) potentially lovely except was very hazy our week. Etna, Syracuse less than an hours drive, Catania half hour (more if heavy traffic). Chalet has a basic feel, but has everything necessary. There is a double bed in one bedroom and two singles in the other (very small) bedroom. TV microwave, fridge/freezer, hob, hot water shower, can eat on 'terrace' . No oven or bath. Problem caused by possible attempted break in breaking the lock was resolved fairly quickly but if you don't speak Italian communication is difficult, and Kristian lives an hours drive away. My impression is Kristian (& his brother David) both helpful honest people.
