The host was very friendly, easy communication in English. Helpful in suggesting local transportation options, activities. Excellent breakfast every morning was a great start to our day. Outside area provided opportunity to dry our towels and extended the area for it not being just a room. The best was the common area ( patio with sliding doors and cool seating) with a full size fridge available to use. We were told the house was 120 years old - it has such a unique feel, everything spotless clean with a mix of old and modern, we loved it. Thank you Valerio and mom!!! If traveling from Catania airport with no car, take the Etna bus and get off at Dalmazia station at Giardini Naxos. Walk about 7 minutes. Lovely town!!!
