We were very welcome at Dani's place. The first night he baked pizza for us and friends and later that week we had spaghetti and paella, which was also molto buono! (Very good). The vibe was really relaxed, there were always friends around who gaves us tips and played some music. The location was a little up hill with a large garden with a lot of aloe Vera which Dani makes. From the house you can see the sea and Aci Castello which is a really nice place with locals. Also Catania and the Etna are nearby and fun to visit.
Thanks Dani for the great time, we're very relaxed now, 'don't worry, be happy' like you said. And thanks to Fransesca for the tips!
Ciao from Holland! Timen and Karien
