Alfio is a really welcoming and helpful host. The apartment is in a great location for the beach and for touring the area. Its best feature is undoubtedly the terrace, furnished with tables, chairs sun-loungers and sunshade - and with a fabulous view of the coast and sea. The apartment is a good size and well-equipped. However, if you need quiet at night, this might not be the place for you - the noise from the restaurants and nightclubs went on until 3am most nights. We had a great holiday, making the most of the beach, boat trips, a bus ride up to Taormina (well worth a day of your holiday), the archaeological site and museum, and a guided tour on Etna.
