This apartment is amazing! We absolutely loved our experience here. Words cannot do it justice. Two king sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, spacious, stylish living room, fully equipped kitchen and a balcony with incredible views of the sea, the town and Mount Etna. Massimo’s apartment is high above town. The town is cute, clean and well designed with tons of shops, restaurants and people. The apartment is close to town (10 minutes walk down a nearby staircase with great views along the way) but far enough away that sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine while admiring that view feels worlds away. We chose this place because we wanted a balcony with views of the sea and Etna and it certainly delivered that! The amenities were outstanding. Massimo provided water, espresso and a really generous spread of breakfast items (cereals, variety of packaged baked goods, yogurt etc). There were also beach towels and a washing machine (no dryer, which is typical) . The restaurant and pizzeria that is 2 minutes away walking had excellent food and views and also offered takeaway pizza. We found the walk into town and back fine (the walk back up took 10 minutes up that staircase...was a good little hike but not a huge deal and was fun with a gelato in hand). You could also bus, drive or taxi if preferred. We drove in and Massimo met us just outside the restaurant and showed us where to park. It was easy and we just left our car parked during our stay rather than attempting to drive around town. One tip - since there are no grocery stores up near the apartment you might buy some bottled water etc on your way in. Massimo was such an incredible host throughout our stay. He checked in with us via the Airbnb app and booked us a beach day at a restaurant where his friend worked. The restaurant picked us up in their van and brought us back at the end of the day. We rented loungers, which were reserved for us, had lunch at the restaurant and they also helped us organize a fun boat trip. Cannot say enough about Massimo and the apartment. We would definitely return!
