We have stayed in Marco's apartment for two months during the very hot Sicilian summer! The apartment is in two floors and fully equipped. On the ground floor there is a living room with the kitchen and dining area. The apartment has 4 terraces, one has an outside kitchenette which is perfect for cooking meals (we mostly used just that one). On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom (the other bathroom is on the ground floor).
The place is part of the larger complex with a private beach and a beautiful garden where you can sunbathe or just enjoy the calmness away from thousands of tourists. We felt very safe here, also the neighbors are one of the best people we have met in Sicily :) Torre Archirafi (Riposto) is a lovely fishing village with all necessary places that you need (walking distance to bakery, market, restaurants, sweet shops, every day one guy sells "granita" in front of the residence). We liked the position as well - close to Catania, Taormina or for a "jump" to Etna ... Marco was a wonderful host, very kind and responsive if we needed him. I'm sure one day we will return :)
