Beautiful private apartment
We stayed here in our honeymoon. The host is fantastic. She is friendly and helpful and left little gifts for us. The apartment is above her home, but we had complete privacy. The accommodation is simple and tasteful with air con. Perfect for a couple. 2 balconies allow you to maximise on the sun all day should you wish to stay in. The local beaches are not sandy beaches, you have to travel for that. However you are on volcanic rock that dips right into the ocean. The sea is beautiful here. Many local supermarkets and beautiful fresh produce. Fine dining can be experienced in the evening. See Brucoli. It's a 40 min trip to Etna and 30 to the sandy beaches. There is a great local market on a Thursday morning for food and clothes. Watch out for the driving. If you are used to the UK, it may be good to get some practice on Mario-cart before you go!!! On a serious note, it is very hectic, so make sure you get all the extras on your car insurance when you hire it. We had 16 nights at this apartment and I was so sad to leave. Sicily is beautiful. Fantastic wines also, and I would definitely come back to explore this historical and geographically stunning island more. I can't thank Vittorina enough for her great communication during the booking process, her welcome and her expert hosting skills during our stay. Thank you
